Swiftech MCX159-CU or Akasa AK-210 ???

the swifty is about 30 quid, is it really worth this much over the akasa ?

dont think i got enough room for the top one. i need active cooling anyway really.

Why do you need active cooling for the Northbridge? Plenty of people are running these at very high FSBs without active cooling. Is your CPU and case cooling working?
