From the top we can see the aesthetics are dominated by the slim 120mm black PWM fan. This fan is actually a variant of the Gelid Slim 12 fan we already reviewed and I must say it is an excellent fan design.
From the base we can see the rather intriguing heat pipe arrangement. There are four heat pipes of which two come out each end and curve into the heatsink stack.
Here you can see the low profile nature of the design, with a total height of just 59mm the Gelid Slim Hero is an excellent choice for a small form factor system or HTPC.
The slim fan is held in place by two metal fan clips on each side. These are easily detachable should you want to change the direction of the airflow.
From the front you can see those four heat pipes a little better, it really is a complex arrangement that has been designed entirely with height in mind.
Very good cooler considering the cheap price-performance ratio. Actually I’m really impressed after going through the performance of the cooler.
And, another good review by Ryan. 🙂
