Athlon XP 1800+ & Thermaltake Orbs

[brab]

Hey...
I already posted this in General Hardware and I got directed to post here.

Which orb you think I should get for XP 1800+???

DRAGON ORB 1 (ALUMINIUM BASE)

DRAGON ORB 2 (TWIN RADIAL FIN)

DRAGON ORB 3 (COPPER BASE)

I am aware that they are more of a show type of thing and not the best in cooling.
I really like their design.
I am just aiming to keeping it on let's say 35C and it would make me happy, so I was wondering if you guys think they can do the job?

Or maybe you have some other recommendations...
I bought a shin from bluebyte deal....hope that's gonna work...

Thanks for you help guys.

I know that the Super Orb II wont keep the XP1800+ at anywhere near 35C idle. Ive now got the Thermalright SK6 and it keeps my CPU at ~40C under full load.

Keep at 35C seems a bit of high expectation from using a TT ORB. But from the list, the ORB 3 is the best cooler. It is sufficient to cool ur XP1800+...but not at 35C.

Depends on ur ambient & case temp...but CPU temp at 35C warrants the use of some top cooler like Alpha 8045 or Swifttech.
