I just found a place that has this cooler for $13 and was wondering what everyone here thought of it. Is it worth it? Is it worth a little more money to get a different cooler? Or will it not make that big of a difference from my Global-win 32-I? Or would a Evercool ND-12 cooler be better? I just found one of those for $15?

Thanks

Actually it's only 1 or 2 degrees behind the Dragon Orb 3, and is a helluva lot cheaper

Very comprable system to mine Frodo. Try setting to 115 * 10.0 like I did, you'll lose 5mhz total but gain big on the fsb. Or you could try 117 * 10.0, I did but my system wouldn't hold.

Say hi to Samwise for me.

That's because 110 is the documented limit. Several others here found 4 speeds above 110, then I went and tested for all possible alternative options. About an hour later I found that the 4 the others found were the only non-documented speeds above 110. Here they are for the fsb switch:

1 2 3 4 5
--------------
n f f n f = 111mhz
n n n f f = 113mhz
n f n f f = 115mhz
n n f f f = 117mhz


n= ON

f= OFF


Now, will you please say hi to Samwise for me?!

Thank you. Let me know if you want the switch combinations for 90, 95, 101, 102, 107 or 109. They're less than 110 but they aren't in the manual (maybe in bios, I'd have to shut down to check though).
