good hsf for xp2500+

i have two xp2500s with stock hsfs. one stock hsf(coolermaster fan, copper base attached) is better than the other one(amd fan, round copper core). i think the cfm, dba are same but copper base heatsink runs cooler. cpu came with copper base can oc higher n needs less voltage but it might be due the the heatsink..
2.2@1.55 (aqyha, copper base) - 44c idel
2.2@1.65 (kqyha, copper core) - 46c idel
2.45@1.75 (aqyha, copper base) - 48c idel
2.0@1.60 (kqyha, copper core) - 44c idel

i like the stock hsf cos they are light n quite n do the job well, but im thinkin of gettin new hsf to replace the copper core hsf. i dont want thermalright cos i can get new xp2500+ n hsf for same money. i dont want somethin heavy or noisy, im happy with my current setup, i had 3 xp2500s b4 n none of them could run 2.2g stable even with zalman 7000a-alcu on 8k3a. could run 2.2g@1.8-1.9v but overheated on load when ambient was high.

anyway i dont mind zalman 7000b-alcu(438g) but i dont want to cut the fittin on hsf to fit on nf7s.

how good are the new gigabyte 3d cooler range? maybe 3d cooler pro(430g) or 3d rocker(490g)

http://www.hardcoreware.net/reviews/review-234-1.htm (500g? 14c below stock p4 hsf at load)

globalwin cak-88t looks ok but weight=?

got the gigabyte 3d cooler pro n its good. works well, bit nosiy at high but very quite with fan at low speed. got it oc to 2530mhz now. :) i dont know if fsb or mem (or cpu) can go much higher..
 
gigabyte 3d cooler pro was bit too tall, it blocks the blower on my new skyhawk case so i had to move it to antec case. so i need another hsf. im leanin towards coolermaster one maily cos its small enough fit below the blower. http://www.ocmodshop.com/default.aspx?a=106&p=210

anyone tried the coolermaster hsf? do u think it would cool better than 3d cooler pro?
