Zalman CNPS7000 to Artic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro

Basically is it worth upgrading from the zalman to the artic?

Bearing in mind i currently run the zalman with the fan controller at low speed (mainly for queitness) - will changing to the freezer pro give me better temps - without greater noise (could I use the zalman fan mate with the artic?).

This is mainly to allow me either to potentially overclock a little - or just generally have lower temps throughout my case.

I'm guessing some of the benefit i'd get was from using the thermal compound thats pre applied to the artic rather than the stuff zalman supplied that I applied.

Cheers for that - lots of excellent info there - espically if I start overclocking - although looking at my bios for my quite old biostar k8vha pro - I dont have much control over vcore.

Might consider the freezer pro espically as it seems so efficient.
