Gelid introduced the Slim Silence, a 1U 28mm height heatsink for Intel and AMD based SFF systems.
With a compact heatsink design for Mini ITX, Micro ATX, ATX, HTPC, Panel PC, Car PC and 1U
server the “Slim Silence” is equipped with a high performance heatpipe and a silent fan.
The high performance heatpipe ensures a fast and efficient heat transfer from core to aluminium fins.
The frameless silent fan includes a ball bearing and a GELID intelligent PWM (Pulse Width
Modulation) control which ensures a silent operation at low CPU temperature and accelerates the fan
speed when necessary.
The “Slim Silence 775” is compatible to Intel 775 while the “Slim Silence AM2” is compatible to AMD’s
AM2, AM2+ and AM3 socket. Both coolers support CPU thermal design power (TDP) up to 65W with
a good case ventilation. The “Slim Silence” series is RoHS and WEEE conform and has a warranty of
5 years.
”Small Form Factor PC’s are growing in popularity; these small systems need small and silent cooling.
It’s the best time to launch a thermal solution such as Slim Silence which fits both requirements at the
same time”, said Gebhard Scherrer co-founder and Sales Director of GELID Solutions Ltd.
The “Slim Silence 775” has a MSRP of USD 22.50 / Euro 16 and the “Slim Silence AM2” has a
MSRP of USD 21 / Euro 15. Both models are available in June 2009.
