Thermaltake Technology announces the newest member of the Orb series CPU coolers – the all-new Ruby Orb.
The Ruby Orb utilizes an radial dissipation design that is unique in the cooling industry. The number of cooling fins multiply as they extend from the center of the Ruby Orb to reduce backpressure on the fan and faster heat dissipation. The y-split fin design allows the Ruby Orb to maximize its cooling fins up to 140 fins at the end to provide extended cooling surface and smooth airflow.
The Ruby Orb uses a 120mm ultra-silent fan outputting only 17dBA to let the users enjoy peace and quiet while the computer is performing at its very best. The Ruby Orb includes a built-in red LED clear fan that lits the ruby red heatsink fins.
The Ruby Orb differs from our famous Blue Orb II in that it is made of entirely aluminum for weight reduction. Acknowledging the efficiency change and the low-wattage CPUs that Intel and AMD are releasing in 2006, all-aluminum CPU heatsinks are much more cost-effective and practical.
The Ruby Orb supports Intel’s newest Core 2 Duo CPU and AMD AM2 CPU, perfect for Socket LGA775/AM2/939/940/754 processors. Further specifications are as follows:
| Heatsink Dimension | 140mm x 73.3mm |

| Fan Dimension | 120 mm x 24.3 mm |

| Started Voltage | 7V |
| Fan Speed | 1700 ±10% RPM |
| Max. Air Flow | 77.85 CFM |
| Noise | 17 dBA |
