Thermaltake MaxOrb CPU Cooler

Introduction:

    Thermaltake is offering a new heatpipe CPU cooler: the MaxOrb. The Tt MaxOrb is a copper and aluminum, six heatpipe cooler. The design of the cooler is round, with the fins surrounding the blades of the 110mm fan. The MaxOrb will work on Intel and AMD CPU's; a list of CPU's is in the specifications. The included fan has built-in blue LED's and speed controller.

About the Company:

    Thermaltake Technology Co., Ltd. started its core business based on our extensive knowledge of PC thermal management during the era where the area of performance CPU cooling was only exclusive for "overclockers" or PC enthusiasts. With the company's initial launch of Orb coolers, it created waves of shocks and appraisals throughout the gaming and overclocking communities. Thermaltake quickly became the name gamers turn to when they need high-end and reliable thermal solutions.

With company's core business of CPU cooling still growing at a vast rate, Thermaltake made another grand entry to the PC chassis industry. To date, Thermaltake has always been considered as the pioneering company that revolutionized the PC chassis industry with Xaser series enclosures. The typical and traditional beige and plastic front panel design was outdone by Xaser series chassis's atypical gaming red and aluminum front panel. It was also the first enclosure available to public with Hardcano unit which provided users full control over computer's thermal management system.

Specifications:

A Closer Look:


Retail front

Retail rear

    The Tt MaxOrb comes packaged in the typical black and red colors with the checker board around the bottom of the box. A window on the front of the box allows the buyer to see the cooler. On the back and sides are the specifications and features. The contents for the MaxOrb is a universal tension frame for Intel socket LGA775 CPU's and for AMD socket AM2, 939, and 754.

Base

Heatpipe into Fins

Speed control

    The cooler itself is a heatpipe cooler, with a copper base and heatpipes with aluminum fins. The fins surround a 110mm fan with built in LED's and adjustable speed controller. The entire cooler has been chromed to give the Tt MaxOrb a uniform color.


Shiney

heatpipes

6 pipes into Fins

Underside

    The base of the MaxOrb is polished smooth to help create a more positive contact with the CPU. The base is in two halves, and these halves sandwich the ends of the heatpipes. Those heatpipes, six in total, rise up from the base and create 2 pairs of three semi-circles. The semi-circles of heatpipes, which vary in diameter, sit side-by-side and have a width of the fans blades. This design will allow for maximum air flow over the heatpipes. The heatpipes pass through aluminum fins that form a circle around the fan.
