This isn't quite what you expect to see when you hear the name Thermaltake, but this square heatsink is indeed one of theirs. The extruded aluminum heatsink fits in the 60mm frame work of the socket form factor, remedying problems with other heatsinks that overhang. With a 25mm high fan atop, and a stepped fin array below it looks like one devilishly capable heatsink, but is it really?

After all, why abandon, even if for a moment, the round success of the Orbs for the more traditional square design? Let's take a look and find out as we review the Thermaltake Volcano II.
