Conclusion

So, what can we say in conclusion to our today’s review? I regret to admit that both AeroCool solutions turned out not very efficient and far from inexpensive, as we might have expected in the beginning. With the recommended retail prices of $49 for SilverWind and $34 for Xfire, these coolers will have really hard time in the market. As we know, there are much more affordable solutions out there that offer excellent cooling efficiency and are very quiet during operation.

As for the indisputable advantages, of the AeroCool solutions, we have to certainly point out their universal design, compact dimensions and light weight, low level of generated noise, extremely simple installation procedure and original white highlighting of the fans. We believe that adding another pair of heatpipes to each of them could have made them more efficient, but at this time they only have four heatpipes for two of them. So, it is totally up to you to decide if any of the today’s review heroes should replace your boxed cooler.
