CPU, VGA and Laptop Coolers At Cebit 2009

Tradeshow & OC events by jmke @ 2009-03-10

Come take a look at the latest CPU, VGA, Laptop and System coolers which were on display at Cebit 2009 from Arctic-Cooling, Scythe, Thermaltake, Glacialtech, Gelid and Spire. From a 200mm Godhand CPU cooler to a 1U cooling wonder, Cebit did have something new to offer this year for the cooling enthusiasts.

GlacialTech, Gelid Solutions and Spire

GlacialTech

GlacialTech has been around for a while, providing enthusiast products at a steady basis which offers above average performance at interesting price points. We’re currently testing two of their CPU coolers.

At their Cebit booth they had a newer version of their high end heatsink, the UFO V51 with a faster spinning LED fan for fancier and better cooling.

The X-Wing R1 notebook cooler is good for up to 17” laptops and when hooked up through USB allows you to control PC volume and launch movie player with the buttons on the X-Wing, you can also check out the cooling fan’s RPM and temperature on a small blue LED display.

If the R1 is too fancy, the G1 will suffice, a notebook cooler with integrated fan at the bottom.

Gelid Solutions

We met with Gelid Cooling Solutions who have some new products in the pipe line, not all of which they could mention, they will be sending us their mid-range CPU cooler, compatible with S1366, for those with very small HTPC cases and MicroATX motherboards, these two CPU coolers will be of interest;

They feature a temperature controlled cooling fan and have one heat pipe in the middle to increase cooling performance. Their low profile and custom fan will surely go a long way to make your miniPCs a bit quieter compared to Intel/AMD stock 1U solutions.

Spire

Spire had plenty of new products at their booth this year, unfortunately only one small cubicle dedicated to CPU coolers, their latest tower coolers promise high efficiency. If you live in Europe they will be available through retail channels at interesting prices.

This was the Cooling action at Cebit this year, stick around to get the latest on the DDR3 memory, SSDs, Motherboards, Video Cards and much more in our follow-up articles.

AC figured it out on their own that the real money is in making OEM coolers, my idea

Comment from jmke @ 2009/03/10

OEM is dangerous game when your factories are in China though

Comment from Rutar @ 2009/03/10

Not when manufacturing is one of your core competences.

Comment from jmke @ 2009/03/10

all they need to do is get blueprint and then they say thank you

Comment from Rutar @ 2009/03/10

Same could be said about any retail AC design, yet do you see exact copies of them?

Comment from jmke @ 2009/03/10

plenty of course; just look around

Comment from sandstorm @ 2009/03/18

Did you see the big *** coolers at the Scythe boot? I love good cooling performance but the things they displayed where not very practical anymore.

Comment from jmke @ 2009/03/18

you did check the article before posting here, right?

Comment from sandstorm @ 2009/03/18

Yes but is was ment as a retorical question? I just could not believe my eyes.
Did you speak with Hiroyuki Komi himself? He actually avoided my remak about the size of his coolers.

I guess he's aiming for the enthousiasts?

Comment from jmke @ 2009/03/18

Yes I spoke with Hiro, very cool guy, met with him for 5th time now

went for a few beers last year after Cebit hours

The Godhand should give better performance than the Orochi, with less material used; looking forward to it going retail!

if you want smaller interesting coolers, check out the Scythe Kama Angle and Katana 3; excellent price/performance units

Comment from sandstorm @ 2009/03/18

Nice! Did you have a lot of after parties this year? We had none unfortunately. I guess it's because we weren't planning to visit Cebit this year but decided to go anyway at the last moment.

One thing is for sure I will never stay until the weekend again. To much goody crazed consumers around.
