Swiftech or Alpha?

[rlemieux]

Bang for buck - Alpha
Pure performance - Swift

Both are excellent heatsinks and will not let you down. It's up to you how much you want to spend. I personally would choose the swiftech. The AX7 looks to be a good heat sink, but nothing from ThermalTake can even come close to these.

Not sure if you meant it this way but the AX7 is made by Thermalright, not Thermaltake. Themaltake makes the orbs and the Volcanoes.
