Heh, I cant beleive the way Natedog can sit there and just &quot;ingore&quot; blatent proof and scientific evidence proving wot mike is saying to be right..


Seems to be Natedog thinks its wrong &quot;just cos it is&quot; without actually being able to give 1 decent reason WHY it could be wrong.

Yep, it's clear he's desperately fighting a loosing battle.

Ok morons. Be amazed by his &quot;science,&quot; I really don't care. The ONLY thing that matters is that people have had some good success with the orbs. I NEVER said it was the best. Please, feel free to read all my posts in this thread, I never said that. I simply said, they are good for a cheap cooler and don't let mike scare you into thinking it will make your computer combust, because it won't. I could care less what any of you think about me........

In case you guys odn't see the other thread, i've gotten some results comparing internal diode celeron2 versus socket-thermistor(on the same setup) on the following heatsinks: FOP32-1, Chrome Orb, Super Orb, Taisol CEK733092.

Charts for Those who are blind 😉

And here's some numbers. A 1.1ghz t-bird at 1.85V would have a core temp around 70-80C with a C-orb. The S-orb is outperformed by the $11 Taisol unit.

AT 950, 1.8V(to mimic Anandtech results), you would get a core temperature with the c-orb around 65-70C, and the s-orb around 55-60C. This compares to &quot;review&quot; temps of 47C and 45C respectively.
