Hi there
I'm a somewhat warm user of a Pentium D 3GHz processor and I'd really like to know if anyone has had good results with the [new] Thermaltake Blue Orb II cooler?
So far the only reviews I can find use AMDs for the test cpu, but their temps are nowhere near as hectic as the Pentium D's.
From what I can tell by other posts regarding the PD, it is a "flame thrower", hehe.
Overall I'm happy with the speed but I'd really like to curb the temp under load to prevent failure. I've pushed the chip to 80°C without any reported throttling from "Throttlewatch", but I'm really not comfortable with these kinds of temp levels as the max temp according to the sSpec is supposed to be 69.8°C.
At the moment I'm using a Gigabyte 3D Rocket, which is miles ahead of the standard cooler that shipped with the machine, but still not what I want.
So if any of you have used the Blue Orb II with a Pentium D, please post your findings.
It will be greatly appreciated!
