I have to admit that the copper-factor in this heatsink instantly makes it seem like the mini copper orb will perform miracles. In reality, it is just a very good cooler, not the best we´ve seen, but still a very good performer for its size and noise output. The Volcano II is a good rival and puts up quite a fight against the mini copper orb.

Faced with the choice between the two of them, I would still go for the mini copper orb just because it stands out among the line of Orb heatsinks. Additionally the mini copper orb has a solid advancement in performance over the very well known Super Orb, making it one of Thermaltake´s better performing heatsinks.
