Gigabyte G-Power Lite Cooler

Results

As you can see, the G-Power Lite performed similarly to the Blue Orb II.  The temperature reading was slightly elevated over the Blue Orb II on it's higher (and louder) speed setting.  However, the G-Power Lite cut a couple of degrees off of the silent performance setting on the comparison cooler. 

The noise produced by the G-Power Lite was no louder than other fans installed in the system.  The results were solid, keeping the system cool under idle conditions as well as under full-load.  So, although it may not stand out drastically above the Blue Orb II, it certainly doesn't disappoint either.

Conclusion

The Gigabyte G-Power Lite is yet another solid product from a solid company.  It brings to the table an easy installation, cooling power on par with other air-cooling solutions in class, and a quiet operation.  All of this is made even sweeter by the low price.  Though it lacks an adjustable fan speed, this is the Lite version of the G-Power Family. 

If you're looking for an easy to install, solid cooling solution to replace what you're currently running, the Gigabyte G-Power Lite may be just the answer for you.  If you're looking to overclock that monster of a system you just built, however, you may want to consider something a little more robust
