Thermaltake MaxOrb 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
