The Blue Orb (Blorb)

[wreed]

How is this product, which I want to get for my Voodoo5 I saw it here at 3d Cool Is it any good? I am just curious.

I think it would work ok as long as it fits. There are some video card coolers and memory heatsinks over at 2CoolTek.

you'll need 2... but the BlOrb is a wonderful video cooling sink!!! all the revies rave and boast a drop in ~5 degrees...

i don't think it fits... check here for a good V5 cooling solution

hmm. I've always wanted to ask... will it fit on a GTS or GTSpro (assuming reference design copies, most are) without having to use an epoxy? I dont think i would *NEED* it, but it is more cooling power for those last few stable hz.

I think Ian at 2CoolTek.com mounts them on Geforces. He sells complete kits for cooling video cards.

you have to modify the BLORBs usually to get a good fit around all the video card components. it's actually really easy with a file, the metal is soft.

does blue orb fit on MSI Pro2-A mobo for cooling the mobo chipset??

 

[Dynamix3D]

it fits on the K7T Pro2-A northbridge, but the pins do not line up. You will have to use the thermal tape instead to keep it on there securely.

 

[heng1028]

does the blue orb come with a thermal tape?

 

[Spoooon]

Heng, the blorb comes with tape, grease, and a 3pin to 5pin connector. I used Arctic Silver on mine. Neat looking cooler.
