Well things just keep getting better and better in this line of HSF’s and I can’t wait to see what’s in store for us the next time around! If your looking for a good copper/aluminum based HSF the Volcano 9 couldn’t be better, if you’re looking for great temps though, I would have to recommend the 7+ over the 9. Keep in mind were dealing with a difference of only a few degrees but those do add up and when your working with an Overclocked processor, I would rather the louder 6000RPM Fan on the 7+ over the 4800RPM fan found on the 9. I only wonder if there will be a 9+ with a full copper base.
