ill be running it on the system in my sig below....which one would yield better cooling? im running the stock cooler now and using a hardware monitor its reporting that the cpu is hitting 60+C, i have the volcano 7+ from an older system and im wondering if the volcano, although smaller, would give better cooling
 
i've been using the volcano 7+ for about a year now and it's definitely better than stock...i don't remember by how many degrees it dropped my temps but it was noticeable, all copper makes a big difference...ive been running at the lowest setting (3500 rpm) and the noise is kinda starting to get to me so im planning to switch to the copper zalman 7000...anyway, yes, definitely better than stock
 
it has to hold me over till next month when i play on buying the koolance exos setup. i ran the volcano on my old system on the medium setting so im used to it being loud as hell....id even put it up to the high setting when playing a game and the sound from the game would drowned it out.
