I'm using the Blorb. It needed some mad lapping though. Not sure if it really made a difference over the stock HSF. Can't oc worth a crap with this board. Then again, I have a 1.3GHz T-Bird.

Pick up a 50mm wide Coolermaster Socket A HSF at a computer show for $5. It's cheaper than the Blorb and cools better. This is what it looks like on the board link. Northbridge chips are concave so you will need a lot more thermal compound than you would use on a CPU.

thanks for the heads up... there's a 'puter show this weekend in pomona, ca, so maybe i'll pick one up if i go...

hey dont bother getting the blue orb. It will not fit on that board in the screw holes and the only other option you have is that double sided thermal adhesive tape and that is difficult. It would look cool though. I know from maddening experience.
