? about HSF

[Chacotako]

would this be a suitable HSF?

"Thermaltake Golden ORB Aircooler fan with heatsink for SLOT A / Athlon"

don't want to go ordering w/out getting a couple of opinions..

-thx

[UnseenMenace]

NOoooooo not the ORB !!

[harderclock]

ill agree. no golden orbs! there known as core killers you would be lucky to get away with just chipping your core when you try to take it off, i know all to well i had that problem luckily my t-bird 900 is still running but with 15% of the surface of my core missing.

[Chacotako]

whew, thanks for the warning.. =).. it would have been on its way by now..

so what do you guys suggest?.. i'm on a slot1 750 Athlon

thx for the help

[William]

ack! no, not an orb. Alpha makes a good SlotA(not slot1) hsf.

Orbs are not good at all. I used to use it for my Intel Celeron and I got overheated. Celeron everyone know that it not a build up a lot of heat.

For AMD, it build up way more heat because of bigger bus speed. If you use Orb with AMD CPU, I think you will burn your CPU soon.

Go to www.neoseeker.com for more info.

whooops.. yea i am on a Slot A, put Slot 1, my mistake..

hrmm, most Alpha's that i've seen look "Nuclear".. lol..

i bet if i put it in my comp, and turned on my comp, all the lights in the house would fade in and out.. hehe.. don't know if I have enough juice for it..

oh well.. off to go look at more "Alpha" made HSF's..

thx everyone for all the help.. appreciate it..

[Chacotako]

what is everyone's opinions on this:

"GlobalWin VOS32 CPU Cooler For AMD Athlon Slot A/ P3 SECC 2 Slot 1"

=)..

thx again

[Phil]

The VOS 32+ is pretty much the best slot heatsink you can get, some of the alphas are close but the shear size of the VOS wins. You can fit a 120mm fan on it :) imagine it with the 135cfm ys-tech

[Chacotako]

sweet, thx for the help.. =)..

quick question tho.. hehe.. is it loud?.. says "36 dBA"

thx again

[Robert]

I have OCZ Gladiator for my comp now. The CPU temp with full load is about 42-46c. :)

All good cooling are round. If not, then use water cooling.
