ThermalTake Golden Orb II
 

Now it's a bit clearer to see why investing in some high performance cooling is a no-brainer. On the other hand, coolers are getting so powerful now that certain models make your computer sound like someone stuck a blow dryer inside your case. If you're looking to find a healthy balance between the two, the Thermaltake Golden Orb II, dubbed as a high performance yet "silent" cooler, will definitely turn some heads. In the past, many of the coolers focusing on silence seem to lack in performance due to their quieter, yet less effective fans. So does the Golden Orb II deliver the best of both worlds? In terms of cooling, every system has different needs and we'll put the Golden Orb II to the test to see if it packs enough punch to earn a spot in your rig.
