he big advantage of a big cooler likes this that uses a nice big 120mm fan is that at low speeds (1300 RPM), it's going to be very quiet (~16dBA) ..

We concluded in our comments on the Scythe Andy Samurai Master vs. Thermaltake MaxOrb review that the heatpipe tower has emerged as the best performing design among the coolers we have tested. None of the down-facing fan coolers have been able to really challenge the outstanding performance we have seen with the heatpipe tower designs that mount a side-blowing 120mm fan. ..

from What I Found Out With This Little Cooler Review Is That The Bt And The V-1 Are Neck And Neck With The Maxorb Sliding In Ever So Slightly Behind Them. Having The Fan Speed On High Really Doesn't Affect The Temperature All That Much So If You Like Silence Any Of These Coolers Are For You.What It All Comes Down To Is What You Like As A Consumer, The Bt Is A Big Heatsink And The V-1 Has A Smaller Width So It May Fit In Places The Bt Doesn't. ..

FAQ
 
Q:  Why is copper based heat sink better than aluminum based solution?
A:  The short answer to the question is the fact that copper conducts heat better than aluminum.  Engineers utilize thermal conductivity (W/m*K) value to measure the effectiveness of a material.  In this case, copper has a thermal conductivity of ~401 W/m*K and aluminum is ~237 W/m*K.  To put it in perspective, wood has a thermal conductivity value of 0.04 ~ 0.4 W/m*K and concrete is 1.7 W/m*K, that is why wood does not get quiet as hot as concrete on a hot sunny day.

Q:  What are the Advantages of heatpipe technology?
A:  Heatpipes are generally small copper tubes filled with a fluid which has a very low boiling point, which enables it to move large quantity of heat with little difference in temperature between "hot" and "cold" interfaces.   The fluids within the heatpipe are moved by capillary action.  Heatpipe uses this to quickly transfer heat away from the CPU, reducing temperatures considerably while allowing heatsink manufacturers to reduce the weight of the heatsink.It also allows for the heatsink fins to be placed farther away from motherboard components. By placing the fins closer to chassis fans, the exhausted air can be removed from the case more efficiently
