Gigabyte G-Power Cooler Pro (GH-PDU21-MF) Review

With today’s high-end CPU’s running hotter than ever, companies are trying to come up with new CPU heatsink and fan combinations to keep the CPU cool. Today, I am going to look at the Gigabyte’s G-Power Cooler Pro (GH-PDU21-MF) on my AMD Athlon 64 FX 55. We will be comparing it to the Thermaltake K450 that I reviewed last month.

As you can see, this is not your typical looking heatsink, and I got very excited about testing it out when I saw it.

Features

Here are some of the listed features of the G-Power Pro:

• Universal 4-in-1 design fits all mainstream platforms
• Omni-directional cooler design with new advanced sintered powder wicks
• Quad high-performance heatpipes
• Quad-Way Airflow Design - Fully compliant with MOSFET thermal functions
• Solid pure copper base with nickel-plating finish
• Powerful fan with decorative blue LEDs
• High-density fin placement maximizes heat dissipation area
• Value adding accessories
• Sparkling fan control box (1700 ~ 3200 rpm)

Specifications

We can already see from looking at the specifications that the G-Power Pro will work on all modern CPU's. As a note though, we see it will work with dual core Intel systems up to 870 at 3.8GHz, but we do not know about the AMD dual core. From my testing and what I have read about the AMD dual core, it should work but no promises from Bjorn3D!
