Is this fan anygood for amd tbird 1.33g super orb 2?
Thanks

not if you put any value on that bird. They chip die's easily and the cooling is embarrassing. I'm watercooled now, but someone here will recommend a half dozen better coolers.

Take care

NO - There are far better performing hsf than the Orb for the price.
The Orb has a reputation for a clip capable of damging CPU cores.

Yes, i agree with that. If you want to get orb, wait for reviews of Dragon Orb. It is supposed to have a better clip, better fan(but loud), and a modified design.

Just put the orb on the ground, Sir, and step back away from it.
Don't put an orb on any chip you spend more than $50 for.

So which fan do you recommend?

Swiftech MC462 or the CAK38 are to VERY high end cooling solutions.
