Thermaltake DuOrb VGA Cooler Review @ NGOHQ

The summer was a bit rough this year here in Israel mostly thanks to global warming. The temperature keeps going up and up in my small town near Jerusalem, which forces the stock VGA cooler (hairdryer) to work harder. This of course raises the fan speed and noise level in our computer. This also increases your GPU’s temperature, and we all know that heat kills electronic components. I’m sick of the noise around here (Wars and VGA Coolers). So I decided to kill two birds with one stone: to benefit all our readers with a VGA cooler review for the ATI fan boy mob and of course - the NVIDIA mercenaries. Not to mention, it will benefit me also by losing the annoying stock cooler.

A few weeks ago, I called upon our old friend from Thermaltake and asked him if he had anything that could help me with the noise; that not only offers great performance but something shiny and cool that I can show off and make my newbie friends say “wow! it’s so cool” to which I could reply with “Hell yea, it ownz!”.

A few weeks later, I received a nice package with something shiny just as I had requested. It’s a brand new DuOrb VGA Cooler that Thermaltake presented at Computex. It’s compatible with some of the latest VGA products on the market from both AMD/ATI and NVIDIA. What is so cool about it? It has two 80mm fans. It’s made of copper. It has nice blue LEDS. It provides support for many current graphic cards, and of course, it’s shiny!! So today, I will be testing Thermaltake’s latest addition to the Orb family – the DuOrb VGA Cooler.
