Which version would you guys go for? Cheaper version may allow me to get the 19" monitor in "This week only". Can't afford it with the other setup. Atleast now. Could in a couple of weeks.

Agree with Sirius. The Blue Orb looked cool but was no good at all really.
I went from the TT Blue Orb and changed to the TT Big Typhoon and am well pleased. Big temp drops. That or the Freezer 64 pro should be the ones you look at in my opinion.

Also note that you may have trouble with the Blue Orb actually fitting due its stupidly low and wide profile.

Like fun it is. The 64 Pro is one of THE best coolers you can get. The TT is pants.

I'll agree that the 64 pro is slightly better but the TT is still a good quiet cooler.

From these results the TT is 2c better at idle and only 1c higher at load than the 64 pro. I've used both in different systems and I think the TT is quieter when at load.
