ThermalTake has a new innovative CPU cooler, the BlueOrb FX. Just like the iFlash+ 120mm which I reviewed earlier this week the Blue Orb FX features one of the new LED fans from ThermalTake which display information onto the fan blades. The BlueOrb FX is even a bit more advanced, it doesn't only show the real-time temperature and a rotating ThermalTake logo, it also shows the noise level. ThermalTake calls the real-time temperature the "T-Visuals" and the rotative logo and noise level is branded as "FlashCool".
The ThermalTake Blue Orb FX features a radian crotched fin design and is compatible with both Intel's LGA775 processors and AMD's Socket AM2. In this review I'm going to test it on the Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 processors.
As with most ThermalTake products, the Blue Orb FX ships in a nicely designed package.
