Gelid has announced the launch of its latest Tranquillo design, bringing the popular tower cooler up to Revision 4 and boasting improved performance over its predecessors.
While retaining the same overall design as the Tranquillo Rev. 3, Gelid's Tranquillo Rev. 4 is claimed to have plenty of improvements over earlier designs. Chief among these are a redesigned fin stack shape which is claimed to reduce airflow resistance, improved heat transfer via direct-contact heatpipes, and higher-quality soldered connections between the heatpipes and the fin stack.
The design tweaks aren't exclusive to the metal portion of the bundle, either: Gelid claims the included 120mm fan is better than ever before thanks to what the company calls its '
Double Layer Blade Technology,' capable of improving airflow at lower speeds. Coupled with a redesigned pulse-width modulation (PWM) circuit which eliminates the annoying clicking sound of earlier incarnations, Gelid claims the Tranquillo Rev. 4 is quieter than ever from 750rpm to 1,600rpm - and mounts are included for a second fan at the rear of the heatsink, if required.
The Tranquillo Rev. 4 is due to hit the channel shortly, priced at €29 (around £22 excluding taxes.) More information is available on the
official website.
