Bij NeoSeeker hebben ze een review gemaakt van de ThermalTake Super Orb heatsink/fan. Zoals bekend is deze versie uitgerust met twee fans (5500rpm en 5000rpm) wat vooral resulteert in sterke prestaties bij overgeklokte procs. De installatie bleek ook niet echt moeilijk, alhoewel er nog steeds problemen zijn met borden die condensators naast de processor socket hebben (Abit KT7). Over het algemeen was men toch erg tevreden:
The Super Orb’s performance with the Duron at its default 650MHz isn’t bad, but its performance with the overclocked Duron is much better. This shows that the large heatsink is better at dissipating a lot of heat at one time, rather than dissipating a small amount of heat in a very short time. Because of this, I would suggest not purchasing a Super Orb unless you actually plan on overclocking – there are other coolers that perform equally as well and cost much less. However, if you do plan on overclocking, the Super Orb is well worth the higher price.
[...] If you haven’t figured it out by now, the Thermaltake Super Orb is huge for a socket cooler and it also looks pretty sweet, to boot. If you like the look of it but don’t want to spend so much money, the Chrome Orb may be more your style. The Chrome Orb is smaller than its “Super” cousin and it only uses a single fan. Its performance isn’t as good, but it should still be able to handle moderate overclocking.
