Spire Swirl is a cooler that sounds more like an ice cream, but it’s kitted out with 3 heat pipes and 45 nickel coated aluminium fins in a circle that is around a 75mm stovepipe fan. Inside is a custom fan that blows air out. The spire cooler ships with a a custom fan controller that takes up a standard expansion slot at the rear of your case along with a 5 year warranty, which is pretty impressive considering it only costs $52.99 with universal support for Intel and AMD CPU’s
Havik 140 is a dual fan radiator CPU cooler similar to many on the market such as the Noctua NH-D14, similar spec to the Noctua NH-D14 with a pair of 140mm fans, 6 heat pipe design, but the NZXT seems to defeat the NH-D14 when CFM rates are compared, the NH-D14 come in at 65 whilst the Havik 140 boasts a impressive 90CFM although at a slightly nosier 25/db. The Havik 140 seems to be more of a small form factor cooler just coming in at 6.5 although weighing 2.2lb. The Havik 140 is priced at $74.99
