Zalman HS

I'm thinking of getting a Zalman 7000B for my FX-55 and I was wondering which cooled better the Cu or AlCu?

Thanks in advance.

I have an Al-Cu and it does a very good job, apart from being extremely quiet.
I believe the Cu version will give you a few degress less, but nothing spectacular.

The Cu will cool better, but then you're getting a LOT more weight on your board, which i wouldnt recommend.

But if you don't move you're PC does the weight matter?

This rig is just going to be sitting nice and pretty next to my desk, so I'm not to worried about the weight.

I have a 7000 Cu which is just fine. At no point when mounting to either a S478 or S939 does it seem too heavy.

It's the 7700Cu you need to watch out with. That's nearly a kilo, which IS a lot to attach to a mobo.
