Does anyone have this cooler, or the copper one just like it? I'm thinking about running it to cool my upcoming 64 rig.. I just wanna hear any owners' thoughts on it. Obviously i dont think its gonna be a bad cooler.. But how is the weight and everything else? and how does it fit well on a DFI Lanparty (prolly the board i will get)? Does it have 2 fans or just 1? Is it worth the $62?

I have the 939 version of it, and I have been very pleased with it thus far (kept my Opteron 146 @ 1.55V at 42C Folding load). It has one fan, but it is quite effective. Obviously there are better coolers (especially at that price), but I highly doubt you will be disappointed with it. Oh, and it is all copper but it has a coating on it to make it look metallic like that. In the end though, I'd wait until it went on sale or just gets cheaper before getting it. $62 seems a little high to me.

holodream, i would recommend either the Tuniq Tower 120 (what ccoke suggested), the Si-128 from Thermalright (http://www.xoxide.com/thermalright-si-128.html), or the Noctua NH-12 (http://www.xoxide.com/noctua-nh-u12-cooler.html).

For the Tuniq and Noctua, they have really good reviews and look solid as well, for the SI-128, I have the predecessor, the SI-120, and its AWESOME to say the least!

SI-128 is awesome just slap on a good 100+ cfm 120mm and your set. My x2 at settings in sig doesnt go over 40 full load and the SI-128 is up so high it adds alot of extra cooling for the memory and neighboring mosfets
