I've seen posted in a few messages here and there that there is now a version of the Golden Orb that doesn't have to be twisted onto the CPU but instead uses a more traditional clip on type setup. Is this true? If so where do I find one?

Thanks

Okay, browsing Thermal Take's site, I found what you're after.Golden Orb Socket 370-2.

Looks like Pricewatch shows 2 dealers who carry them, $11 and $13.

BTW, they have a louder fan... since I always use this copper spacer and then apply a small dab of ArticSilver, I'll stick with the original, quieter, twist-on. (Noise is an issue with Audio Computers).

I wasn't big on ArticSilver due to it's price, then I realized I can get at least 10 CPU's out of one tube. Sure beats the other stuff I was using before.
