GlacialTech @ Computex 2010

GlacialTech @ Computex 2010 introducing products from it’s three different product lines: power supplies, cooling and LED lighting solutions.
From GlacialPower Rex Lin introduced us to the slim type combo adapter for retailer notebooks/ e-books and tablets. The voltage is adjustable, and with the USB output, additional devices can be charged from this one. From GlacialTech he introduced “Siberia” which is a large CPU cooler with 6 heatpipes and a large high volume fan. The cooler is ideal for gaming and high end PC systems. The second model is called Alaska, and also has 6 heatpipes per side., although the cooling method is crossover cooling as opposed to top down cooling in the Alaska model. The GlacialLight section was showing off the dimming capability of the LED BR40 globe. Most regular LED lights cannot be dimmed at all, however GlacialLight has the answer.

Gelid Solutions – Silent 9 TC (Part 2)

The Silent 9 TC According to Gelid, this fan is designed for Silent enthusiasts, who like their PC to regulate itself without worrying about noise and heat issues. The unique feature of the TC fan or more correctly the Temperature Control fan provide additional airflow by changing the fan speed according to your actual temperature needs. This is done via the external temperature probe, which can be placed as needed.

Similarly, like Silent 12 PWM, this fan has a special algorithm to facilitate the optimum cooling at the various temperatures, and does not rely on a linear increase in speed as competitor fans do.
Each fan impeller has been individually balanced using the latest technology to guarantee stable operation giving you no more noise than absolutely necessary and maximum cooling when needed.

An intelligent IC embedded in the fans PCB allows smart variable fan speeds as mentioned. To add to that, the silent fan mounts replace traditional screws and are made of high quality, temperature resistant, extra long lasting rubber which prevents vibrations from permeating throughout your case.

This fans Dimension are 92 x 92 x 25mm, the Fan Speed is between 900 (@22C) – 2000 (@42C). The noise level fluctuates between 11-23.5 dBA according to the speed.

Gelid Solutions – Silent 12 PWM (Part 1)

GELID Solutions or Gelid for short designs and manufactures thermal solutions, CPU coolers, fans, and other computer hardware for both gamers and silent enthusiasts. They provide innovative, virtually silent, high- performance and top quality thermal solutions for computer hardware.
Lets take a look at the products that we have with us here.
First up we have this Silent 12 (PWM) fan.
Taking a look at the package, in fact all of the packages, they seem full of information, and actually look quite attractive. They list the fans specifications and performance data. Oh …and seem to have a 5 year Warranty; something quite unusual for a fan. Included in this box  are the technical document and warranty card as well as four(4) rubber fan mounts which are used to attach the fan to a suitable place in your chassis. These mounts are designed to reduce the noise vibration that comes from fans. The Silent 12 (PWM) fan will automatically adjust itself to the most silent operation when CPU loading is lower. Gelid have used a special algorithm to make sure that the optimal cooling conditions apply to your CPU usage. So unlike other fans out there who claim to regulate speed according to temperature, GELID has implemented a special performance curve which they believe is the optimum for the noise/performance ratio. In addition, the Hydro dynamic bearing, a unique technology used by the Gelid Silent 12 (PWM) fans is extremely efficient and reduces friction inside the fan considerably thus enhancing the running lifespan of the product.

A brief overview of what this fan can do…

Its dimensions are 120mm x 120mm x 25mm
Fan Speed sits between 750 – 1500RPM and the noise level floats between 12 – 25.5dBL
Important to note that Gelid uses international safety Approvals: such as CE and RoHS Compliance.

Silent 12 的大小是120mm x 120mm x 25mm
風扇轉速是750到1500RPM之間、噪音為12 – 25dB
Gelid 產品都通過CE跟 規格

下一個是Silent 9 TC
這風扇是特別為靜音發燒客設計的、特點是它能根據你的溫度需求改變轉速。用法是把一個 外接感溫探針放在需要的地方。與Silent12類似的運算法在各溫度點調整轉速、與 其他廠牌不同的是轉速升降不是直線的。

為了降低噪音, 每個風扇葉片以最新科技獨力平衡過。風扇內建的智能晶片能自動控制轉速. 附送的高品質、耐熱橡膠螺絲防止振動噪音會傳導到機殼外。

Silent 9 TC的大小是92mm x 92mm x 25mm
風扇轉速是;
攝氏22度900RPM 到攝氏42度2000RPM之間、噪音為11 23.5dBA
