I was wanting some opinions on which one does a better job of cooling at moderate fan speeds or better all around??

Go to SVC and pick up the SK-7 for $24.99 - the normal price of an AX-7. Easy decision!

I was thinking that also but after the reviews I have read it seems like the AX-7 may be just as good if not slightly better.I have an AX-7 right now so I don't think it is worth it to upgrade.Here is a link to a comparison between the 3 top thermalright heatsinks.http://www.systemcooling.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=201
I own a Ax-7, This HS performs like no other. I got a Vantec Tornado along with AS3 on it. No case fans "Yet" .. With side panel off temps run 32C Idle and 37C Load. Even though Case temps are 27C with side panel off. Ax-7 Has a BIG BiZANG For its buck.

If you are willing to go a bit more than you may have intended to spend (Not sure, you never posted a budget) but, there's a major deal at SVC http://www.svcompucycle.com/therslsoc462.html
That's 33.99 from 47.99 and it's the best Socket A heatsink.

dgonly2, 400lbs is enough to crush our bodies 
... did you mean 400 grams?
I own SK-7 combined w/ 70mm TMD fan (as reviewed on overclockers.com, blows 36cfm), and it sure is quiet, around 38dB; just make sure that you get the 5800rpm fan since there is another version of the same fan that runs at 4800 rpm and blows 30cfm.
And I just heard that TMD will soon release 80mm version of their magnetic tip fan .. that means you can upgrade your 70mm into 80mm and get even better cooling ... think of it as an upgradeable option

Does anyone know a site that actually sells the AX-7? HeatsinkFactory doesn't seem to have it anymore, neither does Newegg, Googlegear, etc. Also, if anyone knows if it fits on an A7N266-VM that info would also be appreciated. Thanks!
