Which Zalman cpu cooler?

I'm after a new hsf for my 3500+ and have come to two now. It's down to the Zalman 7000B-Cu Copper LED or Zalman 7000B-AlCu LED. What's the differents in cooper or aluminum?

Thanks

 

the Cu performs a little better then the AlCu, but is alot heavier Thats pretty much it..

 

There's a small performance difference between the two, but a large price difference

 

not worth the extra money?

 

Depends how much money you have to burn. I wouldn't part with the extra cash myself, would only buy the all copper one if I found a good deal second hand.

 

i have some money in a couple of days (i hope), but don't want to be spending £10/15 extra if i don't need to

 

You don't need to

 

Agreed.

I have the 7000-Cu, and frankly it's not worth the money over the aluminum...also, the weight causes a seating problem if you move your case much at all.

If I had it to do over again with air cooling, I'd go for the AlCu. I love the Cu cooler, but it's just not worth the $$.

 

well i've put in an order for the alcu
