Polar 2 : a radbox-like cooler sold for $17 !

Gelid Polar 2The concept behind this type of product is well known since it is simply a machined aluminum block. The latter is worked in such a way as to form a certain number of fins and to accommodate a fan at its top.

The construction is very basic since there is no copper part on this model. The base is made of aluminum.

At the ends, we find legs with screws for mounting. Regarding the compatibility, it will be necessary to turn to the Intel platforms in LGA-1700/1200/115x. Gelid Polar 2 Regarding the ventilation, it is provided by a small mill of 75 mm powered by PWM. Its speed range extends from 1400 rpm to 2800 rpm. On the other hand nothing is said about its air flow or its static pressure.

Finally, for the price, it is necessary to count $17 which is relatively expensive considering the product. On the other hand, it has the advantage to be installed everywhere with its dimensions of 90 (W) x 90 (D) x 42 (H) mm and its weight of 205 g.
