| Personally I would go with the xxp-120 or sp-94. The 120 isalmost 1/2 the mass....but then again it has more heatpipes and larger surface area....less mass might be a good thing(safe) and still get good cooling. |

| http://www.systemcooling.com/thermalright_xp120-01.html well just check out one of the reviews listed on TR's website...gives a good run through of the specs and performance etc. (fan info on second page of review)  this shows the fan mounting clips a little better |

| I forgot to add something. The Coolermaster Hyper 6 is also a really good cooler. It beat the SP-94 |

| If this will fit, go for the Thermaltake Silent Tower (CL-P0025), I have a P4 at 2.3 Ghz, and its running cooler than this guys, not to brag, just giving a good suggestion, my Processor runs at 32 C idle, and never gets over 45 C load....now thats good cooling, quiet too but it is a tight fit in my mid tower case, i have a 1/2 inch space between it and the window...and use Arctic Silver 5 thermal compund. :D OVERALL: this thing is quiet, keeps ur processor cool, and has a flashy look, Drawbacks: BIG |

| thats not that good, a p4 at 2.3 is nothing... i dont get over 48-49 C load on 50-60 F degree days with an aero 7 on an AMD 2500+ OVERCLOCKED to 2.3, the same clock as yours |

| depends, copper has superior heat transfer, but is much heavier. You can get a much larger aluminum cooler that weighs less then a small copper cooler, so its a trade off :) |
