Nothing Major
Not many accessories (no LED fan/fan controller/tube of thermal grease)
The Gelid Silent Spirit definitely lives up to its name, with a claimed fan noise range of only 10-25 dB it could best be described as merely "audible" even at full speed. The rubber fan mounts do a decent job of quelling vibration generated by the spi...

For their first attempt at CPU Cooling Gelid Solutions has done an admirable job with the Silent Spirit. It offers silence an good cooling performance in a small package. Sure its not the best performer out there today, but it can compete with the be...
