Today we are going to test Tranquillo from Gelid, a CPU cooler with a tower design, four U-shape heatpipes, one 120-mm fan and focused on silence. This cooler has identical specs to Noctua NH-U12P, Thermaltake ISGC-300 and 3R System iCEAGE Prima Boss, which we have already tested and have performed nicely. Will Tranquillo perform well too? Check it out!
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.
Moderne Prozessoren brauchen eine gute Kühlung. Denn auch wenn die Effizienz ihrer Prozessortechnik von den beiden großen Prozessorherstellern inzwischen nicht mehr ganz so stiefmütterlich wie noch vor einigen Jahren behandelt wird, nimmt die Verlustleistung zumindest bei den stärkeren Leistungsklassen dank höheren Taktraten und mehr Kernen absolut noch zu, wobei Sie mit den Phenom Prozessoren der Serien I und II mit 140w TDP ihren vorläufigen Höchststand erreicht haben. Diese thermische Leistung will abgeführt werden - und das möglichst leise. Denn wer will schon einen ungezähmten, brüllenden Löwen unter dem Schreibtisch haben, wenn Routinearbeiten oder zeitweilig auch mal ein paar Spielrunden vom Rechenknecht zu verdauen sind. Da haben wir es doch lieber, wenn sich der Löwe akustisch wie ein schnurrendes Kätzchen aufführt - und gerade dieses will GELID mit ihrem erschwinglichen Tranquillo-Kühler auch für aktuelle Prozessoren leisten. Wir wollen uns das Ergebnis der Entwicklungsarbeit dieser von Hong Kong aus agierenden und in China produzierenden Kühltechnikfirma heute einmal näher anschauen!
The Gelid Tranquillo heatsink stands 153mm tall and ships with a single 120mm PWM fan mounted. The tower-style heatsink weighs 645 grams and is compatible with Intel socket 775/1156/1366 and AMD socket 754/939/940/AM2+/AM3 processors. While you might expect the Tranquillo to be an exposed base heatpipe heatsink, it is not. Instead the four copper heatpipes are grouped closely at the base on a small copper heatspreader, and also grouped relatively closely to one another where they pass through raw aluminum cooling fins.
Gelid's most recent 'claim to fame' in the CPU cooling market was back in 2009 via the appealing and low noise orientated Tranquillo. The Tranquillo offered good CPU cooling performance while keeping noise output to the bare minimum thanks to the use of a quiet fan. Gelid's Tranquillo was very popular in the budget and home user market especially at the price tag of around £25 which we have more recently become accustomed to. Today we will be looking at an update of the original Tranquillo CPU cooler by Gelid, the Gelid Tranquillo Rev. 2.
For a gaming or other performance system I'd have no trouble recommending this product, I also feel it would also be perfect for a two/three fan push-pull setup on a performance heatsink where the fan speed needs to be fine-tuned. I would however find quite hard to recommend these fans for a purpose built quiet system as you would have to use the included fan controllers on every one to get it down to a suitable volume level, this would be messy and often impractical. That being said these fans do offer a good airflow to noise performance and should be ideal for most users.
Remember when UV first became popular? I must have spent my entire McDonald's salary tricking out my case with every UV light I could get my hands on. My PC glowed like a street racer. It was in its own movie. I eventually moved out of the UV phase and into the LED era, where I remain even today. It seems a little more conserved to me. But UV is still popular, and today's review is living proof. But this fan is much more than just a glow recipient.
Wer viel auf eine gute CPU- oder Gehäuse Belüftung hält, wird lange auf der Suche nach dem passenden Lüfter sein. Oft sind sie nicht stark genug oder zu laut. Auch wir haben für unsere Corsair Hydro Series H100 Wasserkühlung zwei passende, leistungsstarke Lüfter gesucht, die auch von der Optik etwas bieten. Da sind wir auf den GELID Wing 12PL Lüfter gestoßen.
The WING UV Blue case fans are premium quality, UV reactive, ultra- quiet, dust and water proof cooling fans for gaming enthusiasts.This series features an unique bearing with patented design, winglet fans blades and low starting voltage. Only the highest quality materials have been used to manufacture this state-of-the-art cooling fan. Control the fan RPM speed according to your desire using the supplied voltage regulator. To add to the silence fan mounts replace traditional screws and are made of high quality, ultra-soft silicone which stop vibrations from the fan motor from travelling into your PC case.
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. Introducing the GlacialTech 5610 Plus Silent…
