The Golden Orb does do a great job of cooling for only $19. You will get a little more performance from an Alpha, but that will run you $39. As for the bad parts: it's a ***** to intsall and uninstall. The way you place it over the CPU is weird; you have to twist it on until it's nice and tight, and it's even harder to take off. The other bad part is that you can't use this cooler on a Duron processor! I review crap like this all the time and I have destroyed 2 precious AMD Duron processors until Thermaltake finally emailed me saying that the Chrome Orb (also $19) is what fits the Duron. =(

It definitely is a ***** to install on PPGA CPU's. I found out, after breaking retension clips on two slockets, that the Golden Orb's I had were for FC-PGA.
