Glacialtech UFO Release Grade CPU Cooler Pictured
Glacialtech, one of Intel's stock-cooler suppliers, has taken a step into the branded high-end cooling segment with its UFO CPU cooler. Expreview took a few snaps of the cooler, which shows a large fin array suspended on four heatpipes, on which two 38 CFM, 92 mm fans blow air downward. The two fans sandwich the aluminum fins, and are covered by sporty black and yellow shrouds. The combined noise of the fans is rated at 28 dBA (at max. speed of 2000 rpm). The cooler supports all current CPU sockets, and is expected to release soon.

Not as big or heavy as some of the coolers out there (True 120 COPPER)
Performance isnt night and day from this switch. You might get a degree of difference.
Secondly about the whole "its blowing warm air onto my case". Have you ever felt the air coming off your CPU fan? Its really, not that hot lol.
Gelid have made their cooler purposely tilted, aiming the fan at the VRMS...so all excess air coming from the CPU fan get blown onto the VRMs. I think this is a great idea as any airflow is good airflow (unless the air being pushed is higher than VRM temps, which I doubt).
Doesn't really interest me aesthetically
Will have to see how it does in a review
