A relatively new entrant to the PC cooling space, Iceberg Thermal had its first major in-person outing at CES, with the exhibition of several of its newest CPU coolers, purpose-built heatsinks, case fans, and thermal pastes. To begin with, the company showed off its IceGale Xtra, IceGale ARGB, and IceGale Silent case fans. The IceGale Xtra comes in 80 mm, 120 mm, and 140 mm sizes, and in color options of icy-blue, gray, and black. These fans lack illumination, but offer a solid combination of high RPM range and dual-ball bearings. The IceGale ARGB fans are essentially the same, but come only in 120 mm and 140 mm sizes, and only in icy-blue and black frame options. These ones feature addressable RGB LEDs in the fan impeller hub, with the frost-finish impeller blades diffusing the light. The IceGale Silent series is a line of entry-level case fans that come in 120 mm size and black trim, with sleeve bearings. The fan is claimed to offer a noise output of just 12.3 dBA.
The FuzeIce thermal interface material ships in flattened piston syringes that double up as applicators. This is an electrically non-conductive TIM that offers thermal conductivity of 11.25 W/mK, 56,000 poise viscosity, and 2.6 g/cm³ density. It comes in 3.5 g and 7 g syringes. Iceberg Thermal also showed off a wide range of custom-design heatsinks that are purpose-built for a wide range of cooling needs. These are not sold to customers in the retail channel, but the company is looking to become an OEM for purpose-built air-cooling solutions. Moving on to the good stuff, and we see the company show off a trio of its IceSleet series CPU coolers for the DIY retail channel. These include the IceSleet G4 OC, IceSleet G4 Midnight, IceSleet X5, IceSleet X6, IceSleet X7 Dual, IceSleet X9 Dual, and a couple of IceFloe low-profile coolers.
The IceSleet X6 is an aluminium fin-stack tower heatsink that uses six 6 mm-thick copper heatpipes, and a single 120 mm fan that has ARGB illumination. Iceberg claims that the X6 offers cooling capacity of 200 W. The IceSleet X5 is a slight step down from this, although it has an overall similar size. The X5 packs five 6 mm-thick copper heatpipes, the same 120 mm ARGB fan, and offers 160 W of cooling capacity. The IceSleet G4 OC and G4 Midnight are slightly thicker than the X5, offer 180 W cooling capacity, and their fans aren't integral to their design like most other IceSleet coolers, offering a higher degree of adjustability, to scoop out more RAM clearance. All that sets the two G4 series coolers apart is that the Midnight variant lacks any ARGB lighting, and is all-black.
The IceSleet X7 Dual and X9 Dual are large dual fan coolers. The X7 Dual is the slightly smaller among the two, offering a cooling capacity of 225 W, and using seven 6 mm-thick copper heat pipes, along with a dual fan setup of 120 mm and 140 mm fans. The X9 Dual is larger, with a bigger heatsink that uses nine 6 mm-thick copper heatpipes, the same 140 mm + 120 mm fan setup; but increased cooling capacity of 280 W. Lastly, there are the IceFlow T95 and IceFlow T65 low-profile fan-heatsinks made from extruded aluminium monoblocks. The T95 uses a 92 mm hydraulic bearing fan, and has a cooling capacity of 95 W; while the T65 uses a much smaller 42 mm heatsink for a cooling capacity of 65 W.
Among the other stuff we saw at the Iceberg Thermal booth included the IceFloe M.2 heatsink for M.2-2280 SSDs and PlayStation 5 compatibility; and the DriftIce LT line of thermal pads that come in 14 cm x 14 cm sheets that are 2 mm-thick, and can be cut to shape. These offer conductivity as high as 11 W/mK.
