First of all, Contagion, I meant to start a new thread on this instead of hijacking your other one.

This being said, I'm pretty sure my Zalman sucks. If you look at my sig rig, would purchasing the Corsair H50 help on temps? Is it worth selling to get this? Man, I totally can't wait until I can start selling on here!

Well if it barely beats a mugen 2 and the zalman is a POS...then yes H50 > Zalman POS

Yeah, if the H50 is ~a Mugen 2, then you would deff see a decrease in temps.
I mainly want this thing because A) it looks cool; B) its quieter; C) it takes up less space in my case.

Yes, it'd be an upgrade.

The H50 is about ~2 away from a Megahalems, and your cooler is more than 2c away.

Zalman make overrated coolers at over-inflated prices.

The best cooler out right now would be either the Megahalems or the IFX. closely following them would be the TRUE, Dark knight, Mugen 2 or the H50.

those last 4 are about equal as far as cooling, but the H50 is nice because of the many different ways you can mount it.

any of those will be better than that zalman.

I love the support you all have for Zalman, lol. Of course, my builds still consist of a similar mindset I had back in the P4 days. Zalman was like, the thing to buy. My temps are pretty high with this cooler. I'm sure you all can see the previous post about this, but that Best Buy deal is pretty sweet. I would also have to order some cathode lights for my system as it would go dark after this.
