OverviewCustomer ReviewSpecificationsProduct Tour
Keep your processor cool and add a bit of style to your desktop PC with Thermaltake's Blue Orb II heatsink-and-fan assembly. It's designed to work with both Intel LGA775 and AMD K8-based processors--including dual core models--thanks to the bundled universal adapter. A copper core allows for rapid heat transfer and increased thermal conductivity to the 140-fin aluminum circular heatsink.

Thermaltake's patented Radian Crotched Fin design provides increased air flow. The silent 120mm, blue-LED fan at the center of the heatsink pulls cooler air into the fins forcing heat out and away from the processor. The light also adds some flash to your system, perfect if you have a see-through side panel on your case.

This thing is huge...

white Reviewed By: Smokes247 on 8/10/2006
Rating + 5
Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: It cools great my cpu idles at 100F. Would probably be cooler but I have a silent case. Blows air on my ram. Moves a good ammount of air for being all but silent.
Cons: If someone threw it at you, you would be dead, it weighs so much. It isn't exactly the easiest thing to install. It's a bit tough to get both screws threaded without putting quite a bit uf pressure on the cpu and the fan blades gets in the way from pushing down the screws.
Other Thoughts: The reason it blows a good ammount of air on the memory is because it is literally ontop of my left ram slot so I had to slip in the ram chip before installing. It also covers up a good chunk of my mobo so much so I even had a bit of trouble slipping in my PSU but that was mostly because of my case. Overall I would reccomend it as a heatsink and a weapon.

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Great price, great name. Cooling capacity excellent for the money
Cons: Takes up quite a bit of room, kind of low cooling fins. IT WILL NOT WORK OUT OF THE BOX FOR ALL MOTHERBOARDS! I had to modify the cooling fins, by way of grinding it down, to make it clear the cooling fins of the onboard Nvidia chipset on my new EVGA 122-CK-NF68-A1 LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 680i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard
Other Thoughts: Research the mobo and this product BEFORE buying, to make sure you have sufficient clearance.

Too big

white Reviewed By: k on 11/14/2009
Rating + 2
Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Huge, big fan, looks like a ok cooler.
Cons: It's so huge that it won't fit in my case. I got this for my old size ATX case, with an Intel 915PCY motherboard with a P4/3.4GHz. It interferes with a large heatsink on on the motherboard chipset that's near the processor on one side and the power supply on the other side.
Other Thoughts: This looks like a good cooler, and is much better than the one that comes with the P4, but make sure you have TONS of space in your case before using this.

Good enough

white Reviewed By: Clockwork on 10/21/2009

Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
Pros: Dropped idle/load temps by approx. 20c from the stock HSF on my PhenomII X3 720 at stock speeds. Overclocking with stock HSF was not too appealing with idle temps around 55c and full load around 62c. Running 35-42c with this HSF gives some headroom for overclocking.
Cons: None for me.
Other Thoughts: As some have mentioned, it can be potentially difficult to install. I took someones advice and installed a couple washers between the back plate and the mounting brackets. This raised the bracket enough that virtually no pressure was needed to start the screws on the heatsink.
