What do you think of the crystal orbs?

[xCarne_Asada]

I am planning on changing my video card fan to a crystal orb. What do you guys think?

[eh?]

i think all the orbs are crap. they don't work that well on cpu but it should work good on your video card

If you want a really good cooler for your GPU try one of these:D

Crystal Orb is a good heatsink.

they look cool but are only good for cooling stuff that dosn't really need cooling and have a c/w of over 1 - very bad

my friend got one of these, he used to use the blorb, and without any thermal grease at all, temps were 4 degrees lower than with the blorb...and the the card was at 245/515mhz normally 200/400

I think its an excellent GPU cooler and only for 10USD what a bargain.

Is that the only colour they come in?

Yes thats why its called a Crystal Orb.

Blue Orb come in blue.

Orange Orb comes in orange... etc you get the point.

And their abreveation are ie: Blue Orb = Blorb, Crystal Orb = Corb.

Although some people like Silver Sam I think modded it turned it black with a silver base which looks neat and runs much cooler. He should buy ThermalTake he himself made a better product than they did :p
