OK, so what's better? An AX-7 or an SK-7?? Either one of these will be used with a Tt Smartfan 2. Which is better?? This box will not be moved a lot, but it will be taken to LAN parties and such. This is for an XP2500 btw.

The sk7 is a better performer, although not by much. Both sinks use three socket mounting. If you're really worried about the heatsink moving, then i'd go with the lighter one, but if you don't care get the sk7

sk-7 performs better and dosent weigh alot more so my vote goes for the sk-7 (or if you relly worried about breaking the socket strech the buget and get a slk-800u)

They're different designs, and the AX-7 performs well in low-flow situations, while the SK-7 gets very close to the SLK-800 with a Delta/Tornado.
