im trying to save some moeny and they both look the same to me. and i believe these will fit on a 9800 pro

I believe copper conducts heat faster and aluminum dissapates (sp) it better. See how the contact point is copper and then it has aluminum fins to dissapate the heat? So take that into consideration when you're buying it.

The copper version cools better yes. I have it and I highly reccomend it. It's only slightly more expensive that the AlCu also.

would you guys recommend the thermal take venus 12 for around 36 dollars from newegg? cause the i wish i can use the 7700cu but its not compatible with my mobo, so whats the best heatsink i can get for a msi k8n neo2 plat. i will be OCing, and i am Ocing but im getting around 35C idle which is warm to me
