Gelid Silent Spirit CPU Cooler Review

Q6600 Performance Results








When we placed the Silent Spirit on our quad CPU it did struggle to cool it properly; however, the numbers are still better than stock and are even better than some of our other quiet-running coolers (namely the ASUS Triton). Is this cooler a good choice for a Q6600? The answer is yes and no; it is capable of properly cooling processors within this TDP level but others do it a lot better, and for about the same amount of money. The one thing that this cooler has in its favor is the ability to properly cool a hot running CPU while staying darn near inaudible while doing so.
