The GX-7 tackles cooling with good intentions and reasonable battle plan and in practice finishes on average with other 2011 coolers neighboring its price point. GELID has included some nice value equipping the cooler with one of their Wing 12 PL PMW...

Let me start off by saying I am impressed with the performance of the Gelid GX-7. This cooler is available for $64.99 US or less and manages to come in just short of the current king in our test scenario: The Noctua NH-D14 at $89.99 US. This is when...

While the Gelid GX-7 proved competent on an AMD system it was still a fair way behind the cheaper Thermolab Trinity. This, coupled with an LGA1155 performance on par with far cheaper coolers, means that there's little reason to pay any extra cash...

Apart from screwing on either the AMD or Intel fixing plates to the heatsink contact base, the rest of the mounting kit for the Gelid GX-7 comprises fitting four bolts which run through the motherboard base plate. Securing them in position with nuts...

GELID GX-7 didn’t prove up to our expectations and turned out just another cooler, which price is obviously set too high. If the second row of heatpipes does work, then the heatsink must be not efficient enough, because of its small surface size...

The Gelid GX-7 came with great expectations and has delivered on build quality, design and looks. The one part where it does not quite become king is the most important; performance, however this is marginal – it is slightly behind the 70% more...

Gelid is a company that made a nice impression a year or two ago introducing themselves by releasing their first aftermarket CPU cooler, the 'Silent Spirit' cooler. After Gelid released that Silent Spirit and then Tranqillo CPU coolers it was...

I have never had any doubts from any Gelid products I have tested in the past but I was surprised at the performance of the GX-7. Why? Because if you take in consideration of all the new coolers currently on the market, most weigh well over 800...
