Silent Spirit is an active cpu cooler with build in PWM technology in the 92mm fan which provides exceptional cooling at the right times. GELID Solutions PWM enabled fans are a little bit different from standard PWM fans. You can find more about the ne...
Gelid Silent Spirit The Gelid Silent Spirit is certainly a quiet CPU cooler thanks to a smooth-sounding, frameless fluid bearing fan, the mechancally decoupled isolation from the heatsink, and the fact that it sits more than 1 cm away from the surface...
