GELID Announces the Glacier RGB CPU Cooler

[btarunr]

Tech innovator GELID Solutions unveils the latest ultimate-performance CPU Cooler for AMD and Intel CPU. The GLACIER RGB is a product of GELID Solutions GAMER product line. The newly designed twin-tower heatsink - a core part of the GLACIER RGB - comes with the powerful set of 6 U-Stacked heat pipes to deliver the most efficient heat distribution through the heatsink elements. The twin-tower build of the GLACIER RGB also provides enlarged dissipation area to drain heat out and helps reduce air flow resistance. Additionally, the new heatsink introduces the Enhanced Heatpipe Direct Contact (EHDC) Technology to guarantee perfect thermal contact and facilitate heat transfer between CPU and the heat pipes. As the result, the GLACIER RGB supports TDP over 220 W and makes itself a super-hero CPU Cooler for avid gamers and performance enthusiasts.

A matched pair of the multi-award winning STELLA ARGB Fans compliments the heatsink. Each fan carries 24 ultra-bright and independently controllable ARGB LEDs on board to illuminate stylish Dual Ring Lighting and create spectacular RGB effects. The fans also boast Double Ball Bearing which ensures durable functioning, and integrate the optimized impeller to boost airflow. The intelligent GELID PWM (Pulse Width Module) constantly keeps the fans silent but accelerates speed whenever additional cooling is needed. With the 3 sets of fan mounts, a third optional fan can be installed to raise performance even further.



The extreme-grade GC-Extreme thermal compound is also included in the package. The all-in-one mounting kit for multiple AMD CPU sockets AM2, AM2+, AM3, AM3+, AM4, FM1, FM2 and for Intel CPU LGA 775, 1366, 2011, 1155, 1156, 1150, 1151, 1200 sockets, as well as the universal backplate for AMD and Intel mainboards and the CPU protection bracket for AMD AM4 are all included too.

The cooler is RoHS and WEEE conform and carries a 5 year warranty.

"GLACIER RGB ensures you get the most out of a CPU cooling solution. It perfectly fits the essentials every gamer needs - ultimate performance, easy setup, improved reliability - and makes your gaming rig cool and shiny with spectacular RGB lighting", said Gebhard Scherrer, Sales Director of GELID Solutions Ltd.

The GLACIER RGB is available now and has a MSRP of USD 59.99 or Euro 49.99.

Looks like an aliexpress cooler... that if you breathe on it it will dent.

I wonder, why should I buy this if I can get for lower price phantom from Gelid. RGB?

it really does, it looks like just another cooler and a cheap one at that

I think anything more than 3 heatpipes should have a base plate to spread the heat, most CPU's today would only contact about 4 of those 6 pipes

...except the mounting kit would suggest otherwise.

Not that all CPU coolers available at AliExpress are bad in the first place. For examples, ID-Cooling and Alseye, to name just two, make competent air coolers. Maybe nothing in the class of Noctua, Scythe or Thermalright, but then again, few others do.

You can still find the more or less same solution there at half the price and that is the sad point imo.

There's a bent fin by the lower clip in the second picture.

I am glad that they used real photos instead of a render. Shows at least a little honesty.

I have to agree that it looks very cheap. The silver heatsink with the ugly RGB lighting on the fan is a terrible combination. In addition, I feel the direct heatpipe solution is not going to help with cooling. With AMD already using chiplets and Intel may likely follow, these sorts of direct contact with the heatpipe don't seem like a good way to improve contact.
