Best (Socket A) CPU Cooler?

[Stewart]

The SLK947 is more expensive than the 900U, but apart from comaptability with a few more boards, is it actually any better a cooler?

Anypoint getting it if the 900U fits my board?

If you want the best and have the money SLK947 is the option but if want value and not a lot of diff `s in temp then get the ThermalTake Volcano12 i got one just be for xmas with a AMD 2400 Cpu and at full rpm 5500 i could get the 2400 to hit 2500 gig stable also at that rpm speed it was quieter than my slk800 with a Delta 80mm fan running at spec of 5700 rpm. and to top it off you can also change the speed of the Fan to, so you can have the best of both worlds.
