Thermaltake's MaxOrb and V1 CPU coolers

Neither of these heatsinks are outright cheaper than the competition, but they are both available around the £30 mark - this is certainly a viable cost to anyone looking for a performance cooler. The MaxOrb is on the right side of that £30 depending where you shop and offers a marginally better performance, although it is physically larger. But does that matter? It still fits on every board we tried it on and even though the mounting is a bit of a hassle at first, once the clips are on/screws are in, it's job done in five minutes. Pop the kettle on and have a brew waiting for when you've finished.
