GlacialTech UFO V51 CPU Heatsink

Packaging:

The V51 has a window on the front of its box showing off the cooler. The graphic below, a picture of the Earth. Nice touch for a product labeled as a UFO. The side and back of the box contain the features and specifications.

Inside the box we find the cooler wrapped in a plastic container along with the mounting brackets for fitting it to various CPU architectures. The V51 also comes with a nice container filled with arctic silver thermal paste, so you can get started right away.

A Closer Look:

We received the “silent” variant of the V51. All this means is that the fans are more quiet than the PWM model. This also means that the fans don’t spin as fast, and therefore don’t move as much air.

The cooler comes with a wide assortment of mounting brackets which makes it compatible with most motherboards out there. It should be noted that it is near impossible to mount the cooler when the motherboard is already in the case. This is where motherboard trays are a god send.
