I'm not sure which one you will get either.

As for the microfin one... I think it's slightly better as I have tried my 2400+ with the thicker fin heatsink and get slightly higher temps (not sure if it's enough diff to worry about).

I think it has to do with the total surface area for heat dissipation. The microfin coolers have many more 'fins' so that makes for more surface area.

Not only that but the fins are much, much thinner.

A superior surface area to mass ratio.

Plus, that thing has skived fins, a feature that all the high end aftermarket coolers brag about and AMD doesn't even mention.
Talk about modesty.
