Anytime the engineers at Net-N-Dude.com give us a call to announce the availability of a new CPU cooler we spring to attention. Over the past year we've tested a variety of the Oregon-based company's coolers and found that each time they've exceeded our expectations regarding CPU temperature reduction.

Today we're reviewing Net-N-Dude's newest CPU heatsink/fan combo, the Glacier 4500 SECC2 cooler.

Designed to operate on any SECC2-based processor, including all Pentium III models (Coppermine included), as well as older SECC2 Pentium II CPUs, the Glacier 4500 is Net-N-Dude's most powerful cooling option for high-end Intel CPUs.

Does this new Glacier live up to the precedent set by other Net-N-Dude products of the past, or is it just an average cooling option under extreme conditions?

All will be revealed as we put the Glacier 4500 SECC2 unit to the test.

Keeping CPUs cool under the hottest conditions has been the foundation upon which Net-N-Dude's successful online business has been built.

By delivering heatsink/fan solutions that enable users to overclock their CPUs to higher levels than they would be able to if they had used a competitor's product, Net-N-Dude has built a solid reputation among the online community. Net-N-Dude's newest cooler, the SECC2-compatible Glacier 4500 PIII, takes from the knowledge base that Net-N-Dude's engineers have compiled from previous cooling device research, in the hope that it will perform in a significantly superior manner to anything else on the market.
