Zalman CNPS 5x Performa PURECOPPER vs. Gammaxx 300

Hi,
I am looking it these two coolers and I can't decide which one to get. Noise is not an issue, I just want the one that is a better cooler. They cost the same too.

My advice, since I am not able to currently pull up both rigs at work...

If the Zalman fan size is even close to the same size...buy the Zalman.

Zalman makes top notch cooling products, and copper is a MUCH better heat conductor than aluminum, which is what many budget coolers are made of, with the exception of the heat pipes that touch the thermal paste on the CPU itself.
