Is there any point upgrading from a zalman to Tuniq Tower?

I have a Zalman cooler made from copper in a flower style. Keeps my cpu pretty cool at 2.8, but have coolers advanced?

Will I see more efficient cooloing with any of these, becuase they seem like a better design to me?

i had the aluminium/copper one cooling a B3 q6600 then i switched to the tuniq tower, and i got a 10c drop in temps. for a e6300, i doubt you will see that much of a drop in temp anyway.

I dont rate any Zalman CPU cooler, and they dont do well in reviews recently (they look as if they should perform though).

The T-Tower and the TR 120E are the 2 top coolers, so would assume you will gain a drop in temps.

with regards to airflow, the new designs seem better

What weight are these new tower coolers?

Seems to me that that is a lot of torsional force on the mobo/chip in a vertically mounted mobo (as in tower case), any reports of these ripping the system apart?
