Summer is the perfect time for many things: vacation, picnics, camping, and spending time at the beach. Unfortunately, all this warm weather means that computers will not be running as cool as they normally would, and system stability can become threatened. Benchmark Reviews has recently tested the MaxOrb CL-P0369 from Thermaltake. Read on to discover if this product is a computer enthusiast and overclockers dream, or just another fancy fan with some heat pipes.

Thermaltake has been a longtime contender in the cooling solution industry, with new product being released as they make improvements over the older ones. For example, this MaxOrb cooler is a result of previous releases, such as the BlueOrb, which was in turn a revision of the GoldenOrb CPU cooler. Unlike the former products, the new MaxOrb is a lot more than just a tweaked design. Continue on to see the full extent of this redesigned cooler.

Features
* Six Independent Channel Heatpipe Cooling
- Utilizes radial fins to generate smoother multi-directional airflow and reduce turbulence when fan is operating.
- Creates open channels from the center to the outside to dissipate heat efficiently with cool air from all directions.
- Utilizes multi-directional airflow to cool adjacent components such as chipsets and the surrounding VRM as well.

* Radiant Heat-Transfer
- Six Independent channel heatpipes equipped on MaxOrb cover the entire surface of the heat source (CPU)
- Heat is conducted tot eh surrounding fins very evenly through 6 independent circular heatpipes which provides swift heat transfer and maximum thermal dissipation.

* Extreme Silence and Maximum Cooling
- VRFan Speed Control
