I think the orange orb has about 4 or 5 more CFM, not enough to make a difference.
The blue orb is still awesome, I'm able to o/c my gf2 gts 210/425

The blue orb is made of a two piece construction and the orange orb is cast from a solid piece of anodized aluminum, the orange orb performs slightly better than the blue orb despite being slightly smaller.

Cheers, ill look into that, as well as the crystal orb, although the design seems to block airflow.....
Thanks!

If this is for a chipset cooler, why not use a small Socket A cooler like the CoolerMaster DP5-5G11A-01 or the excellent chipset coolers from Millisec (http://millisec.safeshopper.com/11/cat11.htm?594) .

dragon orb is a cpu heatsink,ww are talking about gpu coolers, this link is the same as one about a week ago. the orange orb is only 13mm tall so it will not take up any pci slots, it is aslo made out of one peice of metal for better perforcamce and has a 13CFM fan
