Conclusion
As seen in PCWizKid's video review, the UFO 51 Cooler is indeed a stylish and very effective CPU cooler able to keep the latest Phenom II CPU at a low 30C Celsius on idle and a max of 50C Celsius on 100% full load on all 4 cores. Not only is the GlacialTech UFO 51 a nice size to fit in basically any mid range gaming case but it did not block the tall DDR2 DIMMS we used and made a nice addition to the gaming rig built for this test. The dual fan design is a nice touch helping cool off nearby components like the DDR2 memory which any overclocking enthusiasts will appreciate. A terrific option to those looking to use air cooling in their gaming rig.
