1. Introduction
Gigabyte is more known for their motherboards and to a lesser extent their video cards. However, in the past couple of years, they have expanded their horizons and started producing laptops, wireless routers and heat sink fans to name a few.
With the cooling requirements of new generation processors getting larger, it is only natural that the heat sinks and fans get larger as well. The larger the area, the more heat dissipation is available. However, depending on some board designs, larger cooling products will not properly fit. Logically then, it was a smart move on Gigabyte's part to start developing their own heat sinks, since they know the exact space requirements for their motherboards.
Today we will be looking at Gigabyte's largest cooler, the GH-PDU21-SC. This version of the GH-PDU21 is short of the flagship model offered by Gigabyte by the removal of the fan speed control options available in the GH-PDU21-MF.
