What are your thoughts on the Thermalright Venomous X?

I'm thinking of upgrading to one from a Coolermaster Geminii cooler. Do you think there will be much of a difference?

I loved my Venomous X. It is about half the size of the DH14 and only looses to it by a degree or so. I had it with two zalman zn-f3s in push pull running at 1000rpm with my Phenom II 955 overclocked to 3.6GHz and my temps idled at 28 and never rose above 46 with p95. Only reason I have ditched it is I have gone for a water cooling loop.

I've got one with two Akasa Apaches (push/pull) and it does the job pretty nicely. Keeps my 4ghz i7 at around 80c on IBT at maximum stress level which is about as good as my old water-cooling.

I use 2 x Scythe S-FLEX 1600RPM with my VenomousX cooling a 930 @ 4.2GHz, does and excellent job as well...
