    Question AX7 v PAL8045

    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....

    Another good point is size the 8045 has to be modded to fit quite a few mobo. The AX7 does not.

    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.
