I am not sure how many of you guys are familiar with the name "Glacialtech", I was not, atleast few months back. So when someone from their side approached me to review their coolers I was kind of taken by surprise. Personally, I had to make a choice of typing/posting more OR just stick to my one off posts format.
Anyways I gave in after sometime and decided to take a look at those coolers. So it arrived in a DHL box from Taiwan one fine day, and idiotic custom people charged me with Rs800 for that.
The package content was:
Glacialtech Igloo 5057 E [Quiet]
Glacialtech Igloo 5610 PWM
Here is a quick take on those coolers along with Intel's stock cooler that came with E2140.
Processor: Intel Pentium E2140 overclocked to 2.16GHz [266*8, Stock VCORE]
Motherboard: Gigabyte P35-DS3R [F6 Bios]
Memory: 2GB Crucial Ballistix PC8000
Graphics Card: Inno3D 8800GTS 640MB OC edition
Hard drive: WD 80GB
PSU: Silverstone Zeus 750W
Thermal Interface Material: Anabond Heat sink compound
Note: All tests were done in a non-air-conditioned room with temps around 32C and on an open bench format; no other fan was used to cool motherboard or RAM during this test.
As for pictures my parents are out of town and my Digi cam is with them.
Igloo 5610 PWM [the only High Res image I could manage to get :shakehead:]
Quick Test results:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Stock Intel Cooler
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Delta = Load1 - Idle Temperature1 = 21°C
Delta = Load2 - Idle Temperature2 = 20°C
About the Cooler: What one can say, it’s the stock intel cooler that few of us never use it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Glacialtech Igloo 5057 [E]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Delta = Load1 - Idle Temperature1 = 21°C
Delta = Load2 - Idle Temperature2 = 22°C
About the Cooler: It’s very easy to install as it uses same push clip mechanism used for stock coolers by Intel. 80mm Fan has a 3 pin connector and pushes decent amount of air to get bit better results. As to fan noise I don’t have equipment to test it, but I found it to be bit less noisy then Intel’s stock cooler.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Glacialtech Igloo 5610 [PWM]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[PWM ON]
Delta = Load1 - Idle Temperature1 = 21°C
Delta = Load2 - Idle Temperature2 = 22°C
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[PWM OFF]
Delta = Load1 - Idle Temperature1 = 18°C
Delta = Load2 - Idle Temperature2 = 17°C
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
About the Cooler: Glacialtech 5610-PWM cooler is based on now almost common dual pipe design. It comes with a back plate for mounting cooler, meaning you have to remove your motherboard from case. It has 4 screws to fasten it properly. Nice simple design is still effective and Glacialtech 5610-PWM is a moderate performer I would say. With PWM disabled I found fan to be rather noisy and I don’t need proper equipment to prove it. It performs well for its small design with or without PWM
Here is the info for Disti:
himanshujain@gmail.com Yeah dats all I have on them as of now!! :no:
P.S: Don't go bashing me for lack of pictures guys.
