Gelid Silent Spirit CPU Cooler Review

E4600 Performance Results









While these numbers are in the bottom third of our charts they are still fairly decent given the low price point of this unit. More importantly they are a heck of lot better than stock numbers, and the Silent Spirit does it within a very small noise envelope. Even better is the fact that when you weed out the 120mm based CPU cooling solutions and take a close look at the numbers left a very interesting trend emerges; namely, this $35 cooler is darn near close to being as good as the Noctua NH-U9! That is quiet the accomplishment as that cooler is not what you call inexpensive.
