blue orb in a soltek

as above really looking at replace the hs that came with the soltek with something that has a bit more grunt in it and its either a zalman or a thermaltake but it just depends on if it will fit

The blue orb doesn't fit, the golden orb does. I would get the Silverstone Nitrogon NG-03 though. Better air flow all round.

cool cheers m8 do u have one fitted ????

WJA96 · 3 Jul 2006 at 20:52

I did have. I have to be honest, I didn't keep it long as I thought it (the Soltek) was erm... not very good....

The NT-03 is fantastic, and beautifully made too.

What is that cooler like for noise, considering it uses 60mm fans?

WJA96 · 3 Jul 2006 at 22:46

Nice and quiet. The Silverstone fans are really good. The white fan blades are a bit (rhymes with hanky) though.

I will try one of those out then.

Thanks.

If may have one spare depending on how the borg experiment goes...

Sorry, it lasted all of about 20 minutes. The cooling is pretty poor isn't it?

not in mine linkage

No, Indeed, LOL - can see your cooling is fine.

Why would you want to beef up the cooling on that? - I would think any more cooling and you'd have icicles forming...
