I have an orb, it isnt the greatest i know...
It is a god heatsink and was a great heatsink when it first came out, it has just aged (still use a pentium 2?) NO, well that is what ORBS were made for, Pentium 2 generation. They have been moded to be used on current systems, but are still made originally for the P2 generation.
look at the overclockers that have used the ORB, so many have and with great success. And that is a fact. But once you get near 60 watts of heat, the orb just cant keep up. But then again when the best CPU's were pentium 2's (686) 40 watts of heat was the max you would ever see, and good luck getting a chip that fast to radiate 40 watts
ORB eats 40 watts
So what i am saying is, it is your own damb fault for using a heatsink made for a 686 on a 786 (p3, alone exspecaly as it is a toster oven) that puts out more heat than the heatsink was made for.
So who has a FOP right now. Tell me that you will use it on the next generation CPU's coming out. (64 bit as 786 is all we will see)
Even right now i dont think they are the greatest heatsinks, they use deltas, way to load, bleading ears suck, but the best we got right now (well almost as they 2 are aging and new heatsink mop the floor with the fop's)
So stop bashing old stuff, i really dont get the point.
Hey 486's suck
