The Gelid Tranquillo is a tower design CPU heatsink and features 4x heatpipes which measure all 6mm in diameter. The Tranquillo cooler does not feature the popular HDT design and instead provides a traditional uncoated full copper base. The base has a small heatsink in top to enhance cooling. The design of the heatsinks body is unusual as it is shaped like a chevron. This design takes advantage of the airflow gap right between the fan and the cooler as well as extending the airflow out back where it is best. The 6 uncoated full copper heatpipes add up to a full 1 foot in length if put together. The H612 also features a broad range of applications and installation options.
The Gelid Tranquillo handled the fully loaded i7 930 @ 4.0GHz well and was able to keep it below 90c degrees. Considering that most future platforms will use less power and produce less heat we believe it save to say that this cooler will perform well here.
All in all we were impressed with and surprised by the Gelid Tranquillo’s performance. As we see more and more dual fan configuration coolers or at least capable coolers, the Gelid choose not to make this an option on the Tranquillo but rather use the space and area to further enhance cooling capabilities. The design not only enhanced cooling capabilities but also reduced size and weight of the cooler.
