I had alot of cars...but I RECTUM!!!
I'm having a hard time choosing what to get. I hear that the Zalman beats the Venus 12 but there aren't a lot of CNPS7700-CU reviews to make my final decision. I'm running a AMD 64 2800+ on a ASUS K8N-E Deluxe (not sure if I put it in my sig but just incase). I will probably upgrade to a 3400+ soon.

Which is better? Thanks. :attn:
 
definetly go for thermalright or zalman, stay away from thermaltake.
zalman has the edge when you want quiet cooling, however thernalright gives you more options when choosing a fan
 
Thermalright is lighter - so if you go to lanparties, I'd definietly choose Thermalright - 7700 scares me with its weight :)

Agreed, plus the XP120 is a better sink overall, AND you can use your own fan. Another reason to buy the TR.
