This Computex 2013 coverage spotlights Gelid Wing Slim, a slim UV reactive fan, and accompanying cooling solutions from Gelid. The host demonstrates the Wing Slim in blue or green, emphasizing its very slim profile designed to fit in tight spaces where standard fans do not. The discussion moves to a slim CPU cooler that can coexist with tall RAM modules, notably avoiding clearance issues with high-profile memory like Dominator kits, thanks to a slim fan on the cooler. A nearby VGA cooler is introduced as a compact option to help cool graphics cards that run hot, potentially freeing up PCIe slots for other components. Finally, a compact router cooler is shown, initially intended for routers but with broad applicability for devices like Android TV boxes, Apple TV, set-top boxes, and other gadgets prone to overheating. The segment underscores the versatility of these cooling solutions, highlighting fit, airflow, and the potential for cleaner builds with UV-lit aesthetics. The overall takeaway is that Gelid’s slim, UV-reactive cooling options offer practical solutions for thermals in compact or visually customized PC builds, while remaining adaptable to a variety of devices beyond traditional PCs.
