Will a chrome orb fit an MSI pro 2a MB? UPDATED!

Anybody know for sure? Anybody using one? Any problems installing?

Thanks

The only Orb I'd consider is the Super.

Why not just get one of hte taisol heatsinks. they're very quiet, and even though by socket A temp measurements it isn't readily apparent, they easily outperform C-orbs.

I have a superorb on a Duron on a Pro2A, fits snug. Clearance isn't the problem, I just had to bend the latch so it would go on. That's not a Pro2A specific thing, though, all these AMD-processors like their HS/F's on... ummm, "tight" (TIGHT)... So yes, the little orb will fit.

I also have a K7T Pro2-A with a Super Orb and it fits, so if that fits, the Chrome Orb should fit. Although I would not recommend the Chrome Orb since it does not cool as good as the Super Orb.

Thanks, guys

Got my Tbird in a retail box but the Fan didnt work (no name on it anywhere). I was told pretty good taisols came with the Tbirds but I guess I didnt luck out.

Told the Chrome was good to 1.2 G Tbirds by the vendor. Mine is a 1g and is Warrenteed for 1 year with the chrome. No overclocking for now.

Adequate???

chrome orbs are "adequate" cooling for running them at stock speeds....you will be fine
