Anybody popped an ORB or other cooler on a NF2 chipset?

the title says it all. have you bought a crystal ORB, ripped of the stock passive cooler, and put on the new un? have you hit better FSB this way???

I put a Vantex Iceberq on the NB of my 8RDA+. I didn't do any rigorous before and after testing (plus other things have changed before and after), so I can't say whether my ability to run higher fsb (up to 205 mhz, maybe higher, haven't tried) is related to that or not. I have a hunch it is, in part. With the stock NB heatsink (I did remove the pathetic sticky pad and used AS3), I noticed that it was getting pretty hot.

Yep, I put a COrb on my NB and moved the passive cooler to my SB. I can run a higher FSB now, but I think it has more to do with my 1024 TwinX than anything else ;)
I actually found I could do 200mhz with Samsung PC2700 (with relaxed timings) after doing it though, if it helps at all.
