I was hoping for a better showing considering the price, but still not a bad cooler overall. Thanks for the review! :wavey:

The MaxOrb has less fin surface area compared to the Typhoon or the V1. Thanks for the review!

Another great review. One question though; is the upper mounting bracket aluminum or pot metal?
