World's Exclusive: Thermaltake DuOrb CPU Cooler Review
Posted by Regeneration on February 29th, 2008, 07:58 PM



In October 2007 we had the chance to test Thermaltake’s DuOrb VGA Cooler. Thermaltake is no doublt one of the biggest manufacturers in the market. They have coolers for most everything. CPU Coolers, VGA Coolers, RAM Coolers and even chipset coolers. And if their typical coolers are not enough for you, they have great water-cooling kits available as well. I still have a Thermaltake AMD K6 CPU Cooler somewhere, and it’s still fully functional. They don’t just make coolers; they also have some quality power supplies along with some really beautiful, but expensive cases.

If you read our DuOrb VGA Cooler review, then you know why they called it the DuOrb. If you didn’t, then the name DuOrb is because of its Dual fans (Du). Apparently, the masses were very happy with the Thermaltake DuOrb VGA Cooler, so much so, they decided to introduce the same idea for CPU cooling. It’s been a awhile since Thermaltake introduced a high-end CPU Cooler. In the last few years, many manufacturers have entered the high-end CPU cooling market making competition now more intense than the past. Thermaltake has been hard at work to make their products more attractive and one of these efforts has appeared as the new DuOrb CPU Cooler.

Good review.
To some users there is nothing better than bright saturated colors shining out of our cases like it’s some sort of amusement park.

not a bad cooler but i think it would have peroformed almost as well with just one fan, i think the second fan would have been better utilized as a ram or fsb cooler

Hee hee I love it

On the review well done guys and the cooler itself is quite impressive. I think with the idea of Gigabyte's Silent Pipe and other passive chipset coolers as well as ram cooling becoming more important the design including ambient draw from those areas is a plus. Overall the design is solid and it performs well

Each fan has a zone around the center where airflow is minimal. There's an alternative kind of CPU cooler that makes better use of this dual fan concept.
