Does anyone know of any linkage for comparisons between the Thermaltake AX7 & the AlphaPAL8045?? I use the 8045 at the mo and am wondering if I'd benefit much from moving over to AX7 or not....

I used the 8045 and switched to the AX7 temps dropped 4c under load.

Hmmm.... looks like it is marginally better by 2-5 degrees... looks like I may have to find one soon then....

Another good point is size the 8045 has to be modded to fit quite a few mobo. The AX7 does not.
www.overclockers.com also has reviews of both heatsinks. u'll have to compare them urself tho :)

And you don't have to pull your mobo (or some folks make a cut out in the mounting plate) to take the AX7 off.

8045 has the bolts, and AX-7 (correct me if im wrong) uses all the lugs on the socket.
