While the Igloo 5620 PWM heatsink ships with one 92mm fan capable of operating at 2300-800RPM, additional fan clips are supplied for a second user-supplied 92mm fan to be installed if desired. The base of the heatsink makes use of exposed heatpipes to leverage the rapid heat conduction qualities of these thermal devices. Given the relatively compact height of the Igloo 5620 PWM heatsink, it should fit into a good variety of PC cases which are off limits to the vast number of +160mm tall heatsinks.
The Igloo 5610 Plus Silent ships with two 92mm fans, each spinning at 1200RPM but arranged in a push-pull fashion. A pre-applied patch of shinetsu thermal compound on the base of the heatsink means it's ready to be used out of the box. Given the relatively compact height of the Igloo 5610 Plus Silent, it should fit into most compact PC cases easily enough.
The Glacialtech F101 PWM heatsink is built around a simple concept; use the space over the motherboard chipset for extra cooling fins. The result is a collection of copper and aluminum connected together by five sintered wick copper heatpipes. The 6mm diameter heatpipes distribute heat across a standard tower heatsink format, save for an extension that juts 35mm off to one side.
Aircooling
For the past few months, we have reviewed couple of newly launched GlacialTech products such as X-Wing R1 notebook cooler, UFO V51 gaming CPU cooler, Altair A381 HTPC case and GP-AL650A 650W PSU. Today we will take a look on GlacialTech latest retail product; F101. Let us deep dive this GlacialTech F101 in detail which is a high end CPU cooler with dual 120mm cooling fans supported.
GlacialTech has products in a few different areas of PC hardware, but one of their primary markets is in coolers. The F101 is supposedly inspired by the General Electric turbofan jet engine of the same name. Personally, I don't think this was the wisest of marketing decisions. After all, when I think of a jet engine, I think of an ear-shatteringly loud device that shoots a column of flame out of it's backside—not qualities I want to see in a CPU cooler. Luckily, nobody in marketing seems to be talking to the engineers, as the F101 is almost, but not quite, entirely unlike a jet engine.
For a long time, I was a cooling enthusiast; it was water or nothing. However, as improvements have been made over the last few years, the idea of air cooling has become an attractive option. The days of drilling holes in my case for mounting radiators and clumsy water pump configurations have gone out the window. Although nothing looks as cool as a water cooled rig, it is troublesome to maintain, a bear to move to a new case, and it can get expensive. Stock heatsinks have come a long way too and, with their improvements, other manufacturers have stepped up their game. GlacialTech has an inclination that the Alaska can find itself a home in our bench rig. Let's see if that assumption is correct.
A promising looking tower heatsink, the Glacialtech Alaska CPU cooler sets itself apart with the use of perforated aluminum cooling fins, a pseudo-honeycomb cross sectional fin geometry and six 6mm diameter copper heatpipes tightly packed behind an integral nickel-plated copper heatspreader. The dozens of 2mm diameter perforations dot each of the 40 or so aluminum fins on the Alaska heatsink and function as a pathway for air pressure to equalize between the different cooling fins. Glacialtech call this the "breathing effect".
Today we are looking at the newest offering from GlacialTech, the Alaska CPU cooler. This new offering from GlacialTech has a new fin arrangement that gives the Alaska what they call a “breathing effect”. Join us and see how the Alaska performs as we put it through the paces on our Intel Core i7 test system.
Today we are reviewing the GlacialTech Alaska CPU air cooler, which has a tower heatsink, six U-shaped heatpipes and one 120 mm fan. Check it out!
With the CPU cooling market saturated with very high end coolers that cost anything up to £60 and with the credit crunch still biting, more and more users are looking for a more value-for-money product. One such company that has taken up the mantle and come up with a lower end product is Glacialtech. The cooler is a lot smaller than many coolers on the market and utilises only two heatpipes – clearly we’re not looking for amazingly low temperatures but just some solid figures.
