Gelid Silent Spirit Heatpipe CPU Cooler Review
Guru3D and TweakNews have posted a review of the new Gelid Silent Spirit Heatpipe CPU cooler.
Let's see what they had to say:
- Guru3D:
"As it turns out to be, next to looking pretty attractive, the Silent Spirit performs pretty adequate as heatpipe based CPU cooler. Surely it's not among the top dog coolers out there, but the price isn't either. In fact the Silent Spirit cooler for USD 35 / Euro 23 will get you FAR better cooling that the stock cooler and is actually quite competitive in the mid-range segment.
There's really nothing negative to report about the cooler at all. Very decent cooling, good aesthetics and very easy to install. If you are on a Socket LGA 775 platform there's no needs to fool around with nuts and bolts. There is GC-1 thermal compound pre-applied for you, you just seat and secure the cooler and you are good to go. Straightforward and simple."

- TweakNews: Gelid Silent Spirit Heatpipe CPU Cooler Review:
"Gelid has a very worthy product in the Silent Spirit, especially for the debut offering of a new company. The Silent Spirit easily bests the performance of the OEM cooler while being noticeably quieter, even at full speed. Also, the design allows some board-cooling options while being very easy to install. Add in the fact that the fit and finish is top-shelf and, at the right price, this cooler could be an excellent value. The Silent Spirit is relatively compact and lightweight and the PWM fan and fan mounting solution makes for a near-silent cooler that will fit in all but the smallest of chassis'."

This is pretty decent CPU cooler for $30, but the
Sunbeamtech Core Contact Freezer is even better.
