thermaltake Super Orb

[globalempire]

I just bought a thermaltake Super orb and I was wondering if I should put it on my overclocked Duron.Ive read good things and bad things about thermaltake but nothing about the super orb. I don't want to fry my cpu, someone please help me in make this decision if I should use this super orb or buy a new HSF.(i only paid 10 dollars for the super orb)

Question is how much do you wanna overclock it. I have a super orb and I've been able to run stable at 108 X 9.5. msi pro2a and two case fans in a hydraulic case. It's a default 800, currently running at 840mhz, just no point in it being that much faster. My temps gt pretty high at 1130 but still stable under 98se.

Past 1.1ghz and the heatsink isn't really going to be keeping your cpu core temp(and die temp) within reasonable margins. under that, and you should still be okay. Just make sure ti is resting flat on the cpu.
