INTRODUCTION

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

    Arguably almost 90% of the products we test in RWL have the mid to high end consumer in mind which is quite natural since most of the times they are the ones to put time in researching what’s best for their needs. I guess it’s somewhat logical to gather a few opinions prior to spending hundreds of dollars/euros on something. In any case from time to time we do test entry level devices and today we are here for that exact reason since in our hands today we have the Igloo 5760 PWM CPU Cooler by GlacialTech.

     The Glacialtech Igloo 5760 PWM CPU Cooler is not ment for the hardcore or normal overclocker, instead it is targeted towards two different market segments, HTPC and entry level users. On one hand HTPC users normally require a cheap and low-profile solution for their systems while entry level users want something just a little bit better than the stock CPU Cooler and of course at a very low price point. Well the Igloo 5760 PWM fits both descriptions but does not leave much room for anything more than that.
