I am buying a 600e SECC2 and I am not planning on doin extreme OC'ing but enough to maybe reach 900 even though 800+ is good enough. I also want my cpu to run arctic cool and do not know whether I should buy a more expensive twin fan rig or a golden orb. Here's the twin fan link http://www.3dcool.com/dualoverkill.shtml -the dual overkill
and we all know the Golden Orb sells for $13-$16
So can someone let me know which ne is worth buying?

That is a Vantec PIII heat sink fan assby. I used one on my 600 E for about 4 months or so. It was only a tad better than the Golden Orb.
Orb is a decent cooler for a mild overclock- Alpha makes the best coolers hands down. I went through 3 different coolers till I bought an Alpha.

They are both good for the money. The "Dual Overkill" (aka: Vantec P3D 5030) is slightly better than the slot Orb though. Since the Vantec costs a few dollars more it's up to you to decide whether or not it's worth it. Either cooler will do a good job though if you don't plan on overclocking too high. Good luck.
