Thermaltake MaxOrb Heatpipe CPU Cooler LGA775 AM2 S939 S754 120MM Blue LED Fan 1300-2500RPM 16-24DBA

Cons: nothing with the fan or heatsink really other than some of the thin "foils" were bent when it arrived.also not that this is new eggs fault but the next day i ordered this last shipment from new egg my hard drive started throwing errors. looks like i'll have to buy more stuff! (evil genuis laugh inserted here)

Pros: went in like butter! uhh kinda gross! looks good though i had to put my ear to the case to make sur i had a computer. this thing is amazinly more quiet than my stock cpu fan. crazy queit by day... shinny and blue by night.

Cons: Installation was enough of a pain in the extreme lower back to lose an egg. The mounting clip that attaches it was bent too far for it to be humanly possible for me to install it. I had to take it off, which unfortunately also requires taking the fan off, etc, and bend it back a little.The manual sucked, but thats standard nowadays. Id rather have a bunch of pictures than 20 different languages.I was installing it on a socket 939

Pros: Its quieter than my case fans, and much quieter than my raptor... Its weighs alot less than most other heatsinks at this level of performance, which is also pretty high. It also matches all the other LEDs and shiny things in my case. The cost is quite reasonable. The speed adjuster is nice.

Cons: This CPU is possibly the most difficult piece of machinery I have ever had to install into anything. In order to install it the way the manual wrote, I needed to have a surgical tube-camera + flashlight, so I attached it to the pin armature before fastening the pins. The armature itself almost squished half the capacitors on the upper end of the motherboard anyway.Once it was on, I had to reach and press on the pins, which were beneath the metal fins, and required me to bend my finger beneath them, and then press down on my finger with the other hand - in short, my thumbs and two of my fingers were bleeding by the time it was installed - what a pain, but worth it.It also blows warm air on my graphics card, and I had to remove the mcp fan to fit it in - but at least my case has plenty of airflow.

Pros: It keeps my e8500 below 50C at high load when overclocked just past 4Ghz, and its only at 1800 Rpm (2000 is the max) It works great, and I dont have to worry at all about my CPU's temp anymore, very efficient.

Cons: It says it fits socket LGA775, but on my NVIDIA NForce 750i SLI MB, it wouldn't fit. Very large unit, was hard to fit into my Thermaltake Armor+ MX Midtower case.

Pros: Couldn't use

Cons: Machining quality has dropped dramatically since the Blue Orb. Mine was actually bent so badly (even though it cosmetically looked fine,) that the fan couldn't turn. Noise made by the fan is also indicative of a bad or damaged fan.

Pros: Works even with issues. Interface with CPU relatively clean out of the box and defect-free. Installation MUCH, MUCH easier than the Golden Orb II, (for those of you who remember how installing that on Athlon systems had a 1/5 chance of breaking your processor).

Cons: VERY snug fit on my ASUS P5Q-E motherboard because of the motherboard's heatsinks.

Pros: Keeps my q6600 running at around 25C idle and never tops 38C under full load, with an ambient temp around 21C. Very quiet and the fan speed is adjustable, although I haven't found a need for the higher setting.

Cons: its really loud, its really hard to install, some of the blades come bent, it is very difficult to change the fanspeed on.

Pros: It cools the computer better than the standard intel fan.

Cons: None that I can think of.

Pros: I love this fan. It's big, but it fits nicely in my case and on my mobo (GIGABYTE GA-X48T-DQ6). I was able to orient it in the case so that the bracket goes up (toward the power supply) and that gives some air on the open side to cool the RAM and it allows me to get to the RAM sticks.

Cons: Size: HUGE! Covers 2 RAM slots and my chipset stuff. Also a real pain to install. AM2/AM2+ wasn't bad to install, but LGA775 was tricky. Of course, I hate Intel's push pin design. Aluminum fins bend easy.

Pros: Great Thermaltake product. Very powerful cooling. Probably one of the best air coolers on the market.

Cons: Definitely a PITA to install. I had to remove the whole mobo and other retaining plate in order install it. Newegg sent me one with plenty of bent fins, I had to go through a fix them. Not a huge fan of Newegg...

Pros: Very big fan, will cool your CPU VERY well, as well as help move air around your case.

Cons: It doen't cool the MB very well and thats the reason I bought it. The CPU gets higher temps than my 9700 NT but not by much.

Pros: This cooler is an alright cooler that is more for an asthetic look then overclocking. The blue light is the best fan/cooler light I have seen. Not too bright or dim. My crucial tracer are being cooler by this very well. Fan control is in a good spot right on the cooler.

Cons: After 5 months the fan started to wobble making a horrible grinding noise. Replaced before it with an ASUS unit before it could fail completely

Pros: It worked...... for awhile

Cons: This thing is enormous! and installing it bends the fins so that they vibrate against one another. The included bracket is brittle it broke on me after 2 months. I superglued it back together, and installed a steel bracket over the lower half to re-inforce it, back in business.

Pros: Brought my 5000BE down about 10c, Brightness of the led is just right, and is reasonably quiet.

Cons: Cools about the same as most of the 25$ coolers on here, dont waste your money. I replaced a arctic freezer 7 with this and gained 2-5c on my Q6600, even after lapping this bulky hunk of metal my temps were still unacceptable.

Pros: It works. Makes a great paper weight here on my desk....

Cons: After I had it installed, I turned on my system and the fan wasn't spinning (My cpu was idleing in the mid 30s even without the fan moveing) I thought I connected it wrong so I checked everything, and relised that the fan was so close to one side of the heatsink fins, that it would just get hung up on them. So I had to do a lot of bending of a large grouping of the fins so they wouldn't get in the way, after that it worked fine.

Pros: I dropped my 1.8 dual core cpu Idle temps from the mid to high 40s down to the low 20s, that's pretty good for Air if you ask me.

Cons: Couldn't install.Capacitors right next to the CPU socket make it impossable.This cooler does not work with ASUS P5N-DMotherboard.

Pros: Looks like a great cooler.

Cons: Its pretty big so make sure you have the room for it. I have it in an APEVIA X-CRUISER mid-tower and have plenty of room. It's a pain to install, had to completly take out my mobo to install

Pros: I bought this for an AMD Athlon 64 x2 6400+ Black Edition and it works great. Idols around 35c and the hotest ive seen is around 60 under full load, which my case traps a lot of heat as well so either way, it stays cool. Even with the fan at full blast, it is still very quiet.

Cons: It's hard to see the actual SIZE of this thing! It's HUGE. We used this with an ASUS CROSSHAIR AM2 NVIDIA nForce 590 SLI MCP ATX AMD Motherboard and we can't use mem slots 1 and 2 with CORSAIR XMS2. It's somewhat rough to lock down without ruining the thermal compound.

Pros: Cools well, looks awesome, adjustable, stable,

Cons: Takes about 30min to install.

Pros: Keeps my AM2 6400+ about 10C cooler. At load my computer was getting about 50c to about 60C wtih stock fan. Know I get about 30c to about max 48c under load. Work great with Arctic Silver 5.

Cons: Unfortunately, this is one of the worst LGA775 bracket designs I have ever seen. The mounting bracket needs to actually rest on the board, (or extremely close to it) and did not fit my Asus Striker II Formula Motherboard. For other types of Motherboards, Im sure it would have worked great, but I wont find out anytime soon.

Pros: The MaxOrb just like all the other Orbs, has a great design. It also has its flaws. The fins on this Cooler are Flimsy, and dont hold up well, they are much thinner, and theoretically, since they arent as dense, should transfer heat faster. Although I never got to experience that.
