Is the crystal orb better than the stock Geforce4 fan?

[Byte]

The new stock fans seem really cool, anyone tryed switching it with a crystal orb yet?

The Gf4 fans have more surface area than the orbs.
So theoretically they should cool better.

If you want some serious cooling on your GF4, here is what I did with 2 different GF3's.
I wrote this about 4 months ago, both cards are doing well

Great cooling for GF3 or GF4 cards

Well switching fans for a G4 is a good question. I have been told by some its not needed because the Samsung memory they are using stays pretty cool. But then again the card that overclocked the best in the article was the Leadtek, and go figure it uses a 2 fan heatsink on the front and another heatsink on the bottom. It was able to clock the card higher then all the others in the test.
