Arctic Cooling, I have it (the 5 rev 2 for my X800XL) and it is wonderful, 38c idle, 55c load, and X800's are ok up to 90c! Also its VERY quiet and high quality.

The arctic silencer helps with the memory and it has a better design, copper to absorb the heat and aluminum to expel it, and they are silent, plus they get amazing temperatures. They will both (the zalman and the arctic silencer) get the same overclock, I am sure, but the arctic cooler is silent, and it cools the memory, so I'd say go with the arctic silencer.

Yes, it comes with 8 RAMsinks. Although the RAMsinks are aluminum, I think they still disburse more heat than my copper Vantec RAMsinks.
