Conclusion
| General | + | - | |
| With the Heligon HE01, SilverStone shows an overall good cooler. In terms of cooling capacity the Heligon HE01 has been able to reach the center span of our comparison tables. In this regard we have to say that the competition is very hard concerning our test field. There are almost no entry level coolers in our comparison table and therefore the Heligon HE01 has to compete with the absolute best in class. It's not only the performance that is on a good level with this cooler, we also like the build quality. Looking at the design of the cooler it looks quite unusual because of the asymmetrically shaped towers. | -
Performance - Manufacturing quality |

| Installation | + | - | |
| The installation process is easy and you can mount the cooler quickly. Nevertheless we didn't want to install it without consulting the manual. There is only one thing we don't really like about the installation process. We would love to see the fan fitted to the cooler with more pressure. At the moment it can start to vibrate. | - Easy and robust | - Clamps to put the fan in place | |
| Performance | + | - | |
|
During our tests we used the fan which was in the delivery. It features a diameter of 140 millimeter. If you drive the fan at low rotation speeds, it is silent and at 12 Volt it is loud with it's 1900 rpm. In the end performance is on a reasonable level and even overclocking is possible. |
- Good cooling capacity | ||
| Recommendation | + | - | |
| If you're looking for a well performing CPU cooler, which is reasonably sized and leaves space for every single oversized memory module available out there, then the Heligon HE01 from SilverStone is a good choice. |
