We recently reviewed the Thermaltake Golden Orb II (review here).
The Blue Orb II is even bigger than this massive cooler, its diameter is 2 cm more.
The contact area of the heatsink base is very flat, but has some very minor scratches, which will certainly not affect cooling performance.
Three blue LEDs light up the fan when it is running.
