Who would have though three years ago that heatsink and fans would play such a large role in both the clone building and discerning power user market segment. Also, coolers on higher-end video cards have started to take every shape and color. It's quite a cool looking radial heatsink with an integrated fan. The Blorb is also very silent considering it's specifications. It's these little fine touches that give a product top marks in our books.
Installation is a snap - pun intended.
Thermaltake designed the Blorb kit with flexibility in mind. The first method is to use spring-loaded black pushpins and supplied thermal paste. The Blorb has two mounting plates with holes for the pushpins. Most motherboards, newer video cards, and other devices seem to share the same measurements for these two holes, but I have run across the odd card or board that did not have holes that lined-up with the Blorb's. In this case, Thermaltake included double-sided thermal tape, otherwise known as FragTape in the overclocking circle.
