ThermalTake has designed quite a number of interesting heatpipe heatsinks of late but the DUORB surely takes the cake with it's twin-orb design. The design is not just used in the CPU cooler as we see but has also been made available for some time as a GPU cooler and has proven to be fairly popular in our forums - something we would attribute to its good cooling performance and the tested and proven: Bling Factor. If the CPU cooler proves to be as good as it's GPU counterpart, ThermalTake might have a winner in its hands.

Thermal Take Heatpipes
The DUORB features a total of 6 heatpipes - 3 for each of the orbs.

Thermal Take DUORB Base Solder
The base of the DUORB has a mirror finish and the heatpipes are soldered to the fins. Both of which are good signs.

Thermal Take DUORB Fan
The DUORB uses a pair of 80mm frameless fans rated at 0.20A each.

Thermal Take DUORB Bundle Package
The DUORB comes with mounting mechanisms for both AM2 and LGA-775.
A sticker (Key 3) is also included for those who enjoy decorating their casings.
