There are many ways in which a computer enthusiast can modify their high-performance computer system, ranging from the common modification of the chassis to the integration of different accessories that not only make the PC look more interesting, but also have the potential of improving the system's overall performance and stability.

 

When it comes to cooling products, companies today provide a considerable number of solutions specifically designed to boost performance and give the PC a fresh new look. CPU and GPU coolers come in different forms and sizes, but if you are really looking for a CPU cooler that will make your system look like something out of a Sci-Fi movie, then you should check out the GlacialTech UFO (V51), which surfaced earlier this year at the Computex show.

 

Since its first appearance in June and until now, this CPU cooler has failed to actually surface on the market, but more pictures of it have just emerged, possibly indicating an upcoming public unveiling. According to the available specifications, this CPU cooler has been designed to support all the current, and even upcoming, processors on the market, offering retention Brackets for Intel's LGA775, LGA1366 and AMD Socket 754, 939, 940, AM2, AM2+, and even Socket F.

 

The specifications on this cooler are more than promising, with two 92mm fans that are said to work at speeds of between 800 and 2500RPM, with a maximum sound output of 28 dBA. That alone could enable this yet-to-be-released CPU cooler to ensure the desired thermal specification for most high-end central processing units, including Intel's upcoming Core i7 processors.

 

Aside from that, the CPU cooler also features a large aluminum heatsink, which, combined with the two small fans, is meant to dissipate the heat over the CPU. No word on a specific release date or price tag yet, but all in all, this is one product that seems to be up for the title of the coolest CPU coolers around.
