  • Silent, OK performance over stock, Looks good, Ideal for silent and htpc setups
  • No fan control

  • Very quiet, Decent cooling, Looks great, Well made
  • Installation can be tricky, if not difficult, Cant use all ram when installed as it covers ram slots on certain motherboards
  • Despite the installation problems I encountered the Thermaltake Golden Orb II is a pretty good product, if you desire a quiet system like I do and dont care about keeping your CPU super cool, then the Golden Orb II is a nice option. The Golden Orb II...

  • Abstract:  I have to admit I was quite surprised at the Golden Orb II by Thermaltake. I expected to see a quality cooler, but was not expecting it to be so quiet. To hear the stock cooler cranking away at 5440 RPM, sounding like it was about to take flight, one ...

  • Very nice copper base, Large aluminum fins, Quiet blue LED fan, Compatible with a wide variety of platforms

  • Good performance, Quiet cooler, Compatible with many different CPUs
  • Heavy weight requires bracket installation, which can be a pain in an existing system, Large size could restrict installation of other things around it
  • The Thermaltake Golden Orb II is a very capable CPU cooler. It is compatible with all modern, mainstream CPUs and provides a quiet cooling solution that most anyone would probably be happy with. For tweakers who want to be in control of everything in ...

  • Abstract:  286 A few years ago, Thermaltake introduced a heatsink known as the Golden Orb. Aside from its unqiue round design, it was also extremely affordable. It was quite a success and much to an overclockers delight. Today we have the sequel, the Golden Orb...

  • There are many veterans who would be more than happy to once again install an Orb into their systems, and many more people just glad to have a cool, neat looking, and quiet heatsink supporting their system. Caution must be taken when using a passively...
