Conclusion

All the claims made by the creator of the Chill Vent were proven to be true! By using this “piece of plastic” one can drop the CPU temperature and that of other components in the system without ever voiding your warranty. The installation is plug and play and the unit is very customisable to fit your needs.

The addition of an extra 80mm gives it a nice boost and by swapping the included fan with a more powerful one, you can have performance close to what could be achieved by swapping the CPU heatsink for a high-end one, and those are more then double the asking price of this product.

The Chill Vent offers you a simple yet effective cooling upgrade and you don’t need to spend a fortune to get one.

The only drawback would be compatibility problems with certain heatsink+fan setups; this unit will work fine with any stock cooler installed on the CPU, but if you are already using a third party HSF then you’ll have to do some research first to see if the Chill Vent will fit.

I can’t wait to see more innovative products from KoolSolutions find their way onto the market.
