Abit ORB Fan or Tiger 1

[[F8]]

I have the orb fan on my is7, my cpu posts at 3.6ghz, but I cannot seem to get stable beyond about 267mhz fsb, I'm thinking maybe my NB is overheating, because I lock up after playing games for a while, but I have absolutely zero problems at 267x12. Anyone have any recommendations? Should I try the Tiger 1 that I have?

tiger1 is a pos in my opinion.. i had one back in i845e days and it was not that good. just as3/remove foam shim on your stock sink or get one of those expensive swiftech n/b sinks.

Get the Abit Orb. Lasted me 7 months without failing. Pretty darn good for a small fan.

Yeah, that's the review I saw that made me want to try it. I put it on and I'm not sure if temps are any better or not.
