Conroe and Zalman 7000B or 9500AT?

ATM I think the 7000B is a bit quieter than the 9500AT even though the specifications tell you otherwise. When it comes to cooling obviously the 9500At takes the lead. Combined with a conroe processor, which cooler would you recommend?

CNPS - 7700 Copper will beat them both in cooling and dB

1. I think 7000B is not Socket 775 compatible without the separate ZM-CS1.

2. If you want something very silent you have to buy a cooler to which you can buy any 120mm fan. That is the only way to get the most silent cooling. The Thermalright Ultra-120 or Scythen Ninja might be good alternatives. Buy a Nexus 12cm fan and listen the silence :)
