I finally made up my mind and to day I should receive my new ZALMAN CNPS9900ALED. thanks everyone for your imput and advise.Both of my evos are in use I'm my other 2 machines ,and after reading reviews and recommendations, I chose to go with the Zalman. It seems to cool as much as I require, and being all copper had the added benefit of looking nice in my new case. thanks again everyone.
