Oh people, Im not a happy camper!
I ordered the following from 3dcool.com:
1 - 80mm Fan Grill
1 - 50mm Fan Grill
1 copper spacer
1 - 4 fan block
1 blorb
for 67$ plus shipping
Today I opened my much anticipated box, after all the reviews and peeps swearing by these products....
Heres my take:
The grills are cool and shinny! This is good
The copper space seems weak, but will still use it.
The fan block, I have to unscrew it to push one of the plugins down, made of cheep plastic, tho it doesnt have to be much as long as it works
The blorb...
This is the kicker!!!
This is a real cheep piece of &*@#!!!
Its a 2 piece unit: A)The fan/center heatsink part under the fan and B)the orb fins. First off, the fan section is NOT center! It DOES NOT have a good connection all the way around with the fin section! It doesn't appear to be any better than the stock orb on my ASUS 7700 Geforce2!!!!
It also seems the heat off the chip will just go straight to the fan motor! The fins are thin and sounds dull flicking the findernail across it. The back of the card tells that it displaces a mear 15CFM @ 4500 RPM. My stock orb reads 5200 at bootup.
WTF????
Dont, I repeat, Dont spend your time or energy with this (if you already have a stock orb keep it)
I MIGHT put it on my bridge (MSI mobo has no fan on bridge), but I think Ill just return it.
****, utter ****
