Fantastic DuOrb series Design |
|
- Extension of DuOrb Cooler Design, after DuOrb VGA, the DuOrb architecture inspired |
|
|
CPU cooler with 6 different channels. |
|
- Blue-Red LED Lights Fans, two 80mm fans come equipped with LED lights, one with blue and one with red. |
|
- Unique Silent Fan makes at most 21 dBA at fan speed. |

Magic Cooling Performance Structure |
|
- Copper Construction, Copper Heatpipe, Fin, and Base, provides maximum heat conductivity |
|
|
and dissipation performance. |
|
- 6 Distinct Designed Heatpipes* remove heat from source via the channels. |
|
- Double-Sided Radiant Heatpipes Penetrating Fins transmit heat evenly and efficiently. |
|
- Mirror Coating Copper Base develops perfect heat dissipating contact surface between CPU and DuOrb. |
| *A heatpipe is a heat transfer mechanism that can transport the most heat with less difference in temperature. |

Conclusion:
Conclusion: During our review, the Thermaltake DuOrb CPU Cooler performed very well. Under full load we achieved 12c degrees reduction over the Intel Core 2 Duo stock cooler. It wasn’t just cooler, but also quieter by five decibels. When it comes to performance and noise, we can easily confirm that Thermaltake brought the glory from the DuOrb VGA Cooler to the CPU cooling market. In addition to better cooling, the DuOrb CPU Cooler also provided additional cooling to the memory modules and to the Northbridge chipset like Thermaltake claimed. So when it comes to performance, we are totally happy about it.
DuOrb CPU Cooler is a very impressive and interesting product. Therefore, I’d like to reward it with our newest award.
The Inquirer Conclusion:
In summary, a nice looking and even better performing fan. It's on a par with
the best Zalman and Cooler Master offerings, but also cools the surrounding
sufficiently enough to avoid a need for additional memory and VRM fans at least
- as for the North Bridge,we'd still recommend a separate fan if you're doing
some FSB and memory overclocking there. Good Superb looks, dual-colour lights for the geeks, good
performance, low height
Bad More fan speed flexibility would give more performance and
noise options
Ugly Well, shape-wise, it's just "Mickey" out of "Mickey Mouse
" for an otherwise great heat sink; add another fan to be complete
Bartender's Verdict
Conclusion:
8.5/10
Good
- Decent performance
- Quiet
- Manages to cool CPU and chipset
- Unique design
Bad
- Cooling for overclocking not as decent
- Size of cooler might be a hindrance
- Price a little steep
Conclusion:
With the ThermalTake DUORB, the bling factor was evident even before we turned the lights off. If you want bling, you would be hard pressed to find a cooler that delivers better than the DUORB. Furthermore, its cooling prowess also impressed as it went on to keep the motherboard components cooler than the competition even as we fully loaded the 3GHz Kentsfield. This, despite occupying less space than the other two coolers in the round up.
Conclusion:
When compared to the stock cooler that comes packaged with retail
processors, it won hands down and was actually 14C cooler in the
Overclocked Load test. That is a big advantage, especially when
overclocking where temperatures are everything for getting the maximum
out of your hardware.
Conclusion:
The DuOrb has demonstrated performance at medium and a high noise contained due to the fans being in 80mm. Point to this CPU heatsink unmistakable style and beauty of the structure that justify the price which is a little 'high of around 50 euros.
Conclusion:
So, on the basis of our study, for the original findings of the technical design of the radiator, cooler Thermaltake DuOrb CPU receives award in the category "Original Design".
It remains to wish the new company Thermaltake success in creating attractive and interesting products! Well, we will continue to monitor developments at the front of avant-garde of cooling systems.
 
Conclusion:
DuOrb continues the success of the original DuOrb GPU cooler onto the
CPU. Thermaltake has improved many aspects of their heatsink designs
and I was especially pleased with the mounting system this time around.
It wasn’t cumbersome to mount nor did it interfere with any major
components.
 
Conclusion:
The Thermaltake DuOrb heatpipe CPU cooler earns the awards of "Recommended" and "Gaming Approved" for the great cooling results achieved, even while overclocked.
