Blorb

I had a blorb. They're decent, but Crystal Orbs are a little better, and low profile IU cpu heatsinks are the best air-cooled alternative for cooling a video card gpu. Cooljag is probably the best for about $17. Crystal orbs go for around $13.

I said I had a Blorb... I modded it and now its a Slorb. I replaced the aluminum base with a lapped silver coin. Works much better now. The problem with Blorbs is they have a poorly designed base, and they usually don't even cover the whole gpu. Though they still beat stock gpu heatsinks most of the time in cooling performance.
