Anyone know how good of a hsf this is? looks to be a bit heavy, and i guess it doesn't have variable fan speed, except when you have to go in a change it urself. would the weight have any effect, like would i have to be careful when moving my case around at all? i was actually thinking of getting a tt spark 7+ but i have no idea how well that performs. right my 2.8c is at 3.2c running 20*C idle, but, obviously, i want to push it further with minimal temperature increase. not sure how much my ram can do yet (512 corsair value) but we'll see. if anyone know of a equal or better hsf for preferably less (read: much less lol) i'd appreciate it. thanks

    I have 2 of the 7000's. 1 copper/alum and 1 all copper. The copper is a lot heavier than the copper/alum.. But I have used each of them on the same computer, and see no real difference, in cooling.
    I see your looking at the all copper. If you move your case(lan party, etc), I would be hesitant to use it. Also, if your doing serious OC, this may not be the HS for you. I have a 2600 Mobile, got it to run 2.5, Folding stable, but temps were in the upper 40's.
    So, for little or no case movement, mild OCing, it's a great HS. Highly recommendesd. But if your going to be moving it, or pushing the proc., you might want to think about it.

    You get what you pay for. The Zalman is good, but Thermalright's SP-94 and SLK-947/948 are both better, and I think the Aerocool HT-101 would probably be better, too.

    yeah, i plan on pushing it like a mother, and will most likely be moving it around a bit (lan parties and such). that's kinda what i was thinking. so geeky, between the sp94 and 947/8, which is better for the money, how much would it be, and would that be somewhat dangerous to haul around as well? btw, thnx for the tips drag
