Construction and design

Construction

If we had to define the type of cooler the Heligon HE01 is, then we would describe it as a twin tower cooler. This type of cooler comes with the advantage that manufacturers can realize a huge area for heat dissipation. The disadvantage over down-draft coolers is that no air is directed towards the motherboard, therefore non of the onboard components receive direct cooling. SilverStone manufactures their Heligon HE01 cooler from aluminium and copper. You can find a copper base plate which leads the dissipation power to six heatpipes which all have a diameter of six millimeters. Altogether there are 47 fins soldered to the heatpipes for perfect heat transfer.

Design

We did not see any manufacturing mistakes on our sample, and it seems that it has been very well made which means that manufacturing quality is on an excellent level. The heatpipes do have different bending radius, which results in less additional vortex. Furhtermore this cooler comes with a total of 47 fins. SilverStone chose a similar fin design for both sides of the cooler.
