Orb with T-Bird?

[skypilot]

I have a golden orb CPU cooler that I used to use on my P3/1Ghz... is it feasible to use it on my T-Bird 950? Or should I get a new cooler.... I dont think I will be overclocking and if I do it will be mild. How good is this cooler?

orbs are junk(and dangerous to use on an athlon).... get yourself at least a taisol or maybe a vantec....

if you wanna go all out get your self a Alpha PAL8045 and a 80mm fan for pure unadulterated performance....

check www.svcompucycle.com they have great deals on a bunch of cooler and currently the best price the PAL 8045.(i've actually, bought 5 of them so far)

but if I put it on the chip safely, will it cool effectively?

Maybe a 700Athlon but nothing over that.

no.. they are not compatible you are risking death of the processor by attepting to install it on the athlon.
