Well this weekend i popped my old heatsink off my Gforce2 GTS, rubbed off the old epoxy shit, sanded it, placed real compound on it and installed a Blue orb on it. Pretty cool lookin i must say :)
I haven't began OC'ing my card, but i have had time to use my machine with this new HSF. It's a bit noisy :(
Does anyone here have a Blue orb, and if so can you please tell me if yours is "humming" too?

I have a couple of them but can't hear anything over the delta black label. I know their running cause I can see the RPM in MBM.

I have 6 of them across 4 systems, and I don't notice any kind of a hum. Maybe one of the blades is tweaked? If you can return it, get another one and see what happens.
