GlacialTech Igloo 5760 CPU Cooler Review

Cooling/CPU Cooling by stefan @ 2010-07-25

GlacialTech have successfully build a very cheap, easy to install and good looking little CPU cooler; it is mostly intended for environments that do not imply overclocking. In the performed tests, however, even if on the package it was listed that the i5 750 CPU is supported with its stock 2.66GHz frequency, I could do 3.2GHz without problems at all and with decent temperatures too, in both IDLE and Full Load.

The Igloo 5760 is compatible with all CPU sockets and the retention mechanism is really easy to install; the back plates are provided with the adhesive, so they won't fall off when we try to install the screws onto them.

The fan that comes with the 5760 is 92nm with a maximum recorded speed of 2219RPM. It is PWM and can be controlled very easy with the motherboard, if we consider that the max speed is too loud for us.

Considering that the recommended product price by the manufacturer is 17Euros, it is a good replacement from any stock cooling solution and it does not take a lot of space either.

I would like to thank again to GlacialTech for giving us the chance to review this product!
