The gang at FrostyTech had a lot of nice things to say about the Gelid Black Edition heatpipe HSF today. If you are in the market for a new cooler, this might be the one you are looking for.
Gelid's 'the Black Edition' heatsink stands 161mm tall and weighs a modest 990grams. The heatsink has a rather boxy footprint of 126x110mm which encompasses twin 32mm-thick aluminum fin stacks and a pair of mismatched vaneaxial fans. Nestled between the aluminum towers is a 'Silent 12 PWM' 25x120mm fan and strapped to the outside of the heatsink is a thin, 'Slim 12 PWM' 15x120mm fan. Despite the size differences, both fans rotate at around ~1600RPM to 750RPM.
