Golden Orb questions...

[mosdef]

1. Is the Golden Orb simply a combo of a heatsink and a fan?
2. Will the Socket version of the Golden Orb work with Durons? What type/brand of thermal paste should I get to attach it?
3. Are there any other brands of socket coolers that you recommend?

Thanks!

1. Yes.
2. Dunno.
3. Read Anand's roundup, though you really can't beat the Gorb for the price.

If I'm getting a cooler it'll be this one, I have all my DIMM slots filled up

http://www.2cooltek.com will have socket A golden orb's next week. The arctic silver thermal grease is suppose to be the best.
