Golden orb vs Intel boxed fan

[Eivind Lunde]

does anyone know if the Golden Orb heatsink is more efficient than the boxed Intel fan that comes with the 900 Mhz Celeron?
I am using the retail fan to cool my 900@1100 Celeron, but the temperature under max load with CPU Burn is 60 degrees C, which is a bit high I think.

Would I be better off with the Gorb cooler which I use for my other PC...?

TIA

Hi Eivind,

Welcome to the Forums, Seems your temps are high

The Orb is better than the Intel stock heatsink, but I gotta tell yah that if you dont already have the 2nd orb for your 2nd system, i would think about getting something other than an Orb as there are much better performing heatsinks.
