Cooling
Gelid Slim Silence A-Plus Low Profile (1U Server) CPU Cooler
As you can see the packaging exemplifies the importance of the 1U compatibility and gives you a brief outline of the product design.
On the back it points out the key features such as the dual heat pipe design, the 28mm height and the 65mm frameless PWM fan.
Included is some documentation, a stock AMD backplate and a Gelid sticker.
Award for 5 years warranty?..Really?
No. It did not get an award for a 5 year warranty. Clearly you did not read a thing that was written.
Yeah u right…So by the time that it doesn’t look any better than the stock cooler maybe u should reward it also…£24.75?Really??
£16.99 – again try reading. Secondly, it is HALF the height of the stock cooler. It is intended for usage scenarios where anything above 30mm is TOO TALL to fit. Please find another CPU cooler with a height of less than 30mm that is capable of cooling an AMD CPU. I think you are missing the point quite significantly. Not that it matters because you clearly don’t understand what this product is meant for so I don’t know why I am even bothering to try and explain.
I understand that is NOT a real diference between 30-33-35-38 mm…This is a not wrist watch cooler…(Anyone disagree with that?)…And i understand that i want to buy a cooler which COOLS my cpu (At least better than the stock one!!!)…It’s a different thing to talk about a 6cm or 10cm cooler…But a few mm/less tan 9?…Imo one of these are WAY better options…

A 1U server can only take CPU coolers less than 30mm. This measures 28mm, the Noctua NH-L9a measures 37mm and Scythe Kozuti measures 40mm. That means that only this cooler would fit in a 1U server. This cooler is designed for 1U servers.
This happens when you only see the conclusion page. lol.
It doesn’t look any better than AMD stock cooler.
People can choose it only because of it’s ultra compactness. Best for compact systems. 🙂
