Gelid Solutions has sent me over the
Silent Spirit CPU cooler for review, it's their first foray into the
CPU cooling game and it looks to be a decent performer overall. The
Silent Spirit is a small cooler that's meant to keep things cool and
quiet at the same time, the cooler features four copper heatpipes
with an angled heatsink design so it should fit in just about any
case and configuration.
How does it compare to the others out
there? Read on to find out...

Design Concept of Silent
Spirit:
a) Fan Structural Design
The top-flow cooler “Silent
Spirit” follows an open frame structure concept whereby both design
and dimensions have been improved to eliminate humming and buzzing
noises while maintaining a compact overall size. The 92mm fan has
been chosen for silent operation and high airflow and comes with an
intelligent PWM control to allow users to set the fan speed in their
BIOS accordingly. In addition the anti-vibration fan mounts are made
of high quality rubber thus guaranteeing a long life span even during
high temperatures.
