Orb on S7?

[Tormented]

Will an Orb (thermaltake) will fit on my socket 7 asus tx97xe ? I ask this because my k6-2 500@450 is running at
59 C , Hot isnt it ,its because of the puny HSF i got on it.

Probably. A lot of heatsinks are advertised to fit both.

hey dude i used to have a k6-2 500@550 and it never went above 45oc and that was with a cheap ass hsf i got for 8$. another one of my mates has a 450@550 and it dont go above 52oc and his hsf is smaller than the one i had. you dont need anything fancy like an orb for a k6-2 i'd say your fan is dying and/or the hsf isnt making full contact.

just my 2c

My HSF is quite big (larger than the normal stuff that came with p-166 mmx) the fan work fine, i found what the problem was, the stupid store that sold me the cpu glued one of their waranty stickers on top of the CPU,so basicly the HSF cooling the sticker and the CPU if I'll remove the HSF it will probably be the same temperature, damn sticker made of some kind of plastic non heat conductive, need to remove that sucker.
