Thermaltake Mini Golden Orb
The Mini Golden Orb is another low-profile
cooler for specialised applications. It's essentially just a half-height
twist-lock Golden Orb (so you don't want to use it on a Socket A CPU), and
it costs the same as the full-size Golden Orb - $USD18 delivered.
Like the Alpha FC-PAL15, it's only
about 26mm high, and its fan pulls about 1.8 watts when it's up to speed.
Because I'm just naturally mean,
I let the Mini Golden Orb have it with the full 50 watts from my CPU simulator,
and it sweated as much as you'd expect for a small cheap cooler. It turned
in a creditable (for its size) 1.17°C/W.
