Super Orb Performance, May Suprise People ;)

[Guest]

Hey Everybody..
A well done cooling review over at legion hardware. here's the link: http://www.legionhardware.com/Reviews/Alpha/alpha_pep66t_3.php

Not my preferred method of loading the cpu, but since all chips were tested the same way, it should suffice. Notice how the Super-Orb barely manages to outperform the retail 1ghz p3 heatsink(bear in mind, this is a much heftier retail heatsink on the 1ghz).

If a Super Orb can't quite handle 35W of power, how can it possible handle a 60W processor at reasonable temps?

I'm not surprised. In fact, I'm surprised it even beat the Intel cooler. BTW teh Intel cooler is available at several outlets for $10. I have one on my PIII700@933 and one on my wife's K6-3 (using an old style clip).

Suicide is painless...........

Nor am I many of us have known that the orb coolers are poor performers and not worth the money. They just look good ohh look at the prety cooler (heavy sarcasm).
