Spire CoolGate Pentium 4 Heatpipe Cooler Review
Digg! Reddit!Add to Reddit | Bookmark this article:

Conclusion

Spire's CoolGate is a good substitute for the stock Intel Pentium 4 cooler. I must say that side-blowing coolers aren't that common. This cooler is relatively small and light. To make the side-blowing fan more efficient, Spire utilized copper heatpipes to draw the heat to the upper part of the heatsink.

In summary, while the CoolGate is a good alternative to Intel stock coolers, those who desire the absolute best in air-cooling may wish to look elsewhere.

Pros :
  • Heatpipes
  • Light
  • Small
  • Quiet
  • Cons :
    • Poor finish on the base of the heatsink
    • Mounting can be a hassle
