Gelid Tranquillo CPU Cooler Reviews


Fri 2010-03-12 - Posted by Patrick "MACMAC" MacMillan
Hardware Secrets, LanOC Reviews, and Tweaknews have reviewed the Gelid Tranquillo CPU cooler.

Let's see what they had to say:

  • Hardware Secrets:

    "Another added advantage is its price: it costs less than most coolers with similar performance. Considering that its installation is simple and solid, the only point where Tranquillo does not shines is on the looks, because it has no nickel-plated fins, LED fan our other aesthetic pluses, but in a general way the result is a beautiful and harmonious looks.

    In other words: Tranquillo is an excellent cooler, with good performance, quiet, easy to install, beautiful and relatively inexpensive. So, it receives the Hardware Secrets Golden Award."

  • LanOC Reviews:

    "If this is how well Gelid Solutions can cool your CPU when trying to keep everything quiet, imagine what they can do with a little noise! I'm excited to see what they will do in the future but the Tranquillo will be more than enough to keep me satisfied for now. The most impressive part is that all of that performance comes with an entry-level price tag."

  • Tweaknews:

    "Gelid has a worthy product in the Tranquillo, especially for a relatively new company. The Tranquillo easily bests the performance of the OEM cooler while being noticeably quieter, even at full speed. The design doesn't provide any board-cooling options though, but is relatively easy to install. The fit and finish is pretty good and, at the right price, this cooler could be an excellent value. The tranquillo is relatively compact and lightweight and the PWM fan and fan mounting solution makes for a near-silent cooler that should fit in all but the smallest of chassis'."

Evidently this is the CPU cooler to buy if you place a premium on silence. The fact that is performs quite well and is relatively inexpensive are obviously strong points too.
