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 f...
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 for it.L...
Abstract: The GX-7 heatsink is constructed around seven 6mm diameter heatpipes, but the number of heatpipes isn't what caught our attention. What's unique about the GX-7 cooler are the two heatpipes stacked on top of the five primary heatpipes. ...
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 and h...
Gelids GX-7 is a fun product. It has good looks and some new innovation to be found in the cooling block. The seven thick (rearranged) heatpipes help our greatly decreasing that oh so important problem of processors, these days, heat. It is a nice cooler...
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 grams,...
Gelid Solutions was founded in 2008 and this relatively new company still focuses on cooling solutions. So far, we had a chance to test several Gelid Solutions's CPU coolers but the GX-7 exceeded all our expectations. The GX-7 climbed to the top of the ta...
Quality (30% of the total score) We found the quality of the GX-7 to be more than adequate, although there is some room for improvements. The body of the cooler itself is very well made and strong, without any significant manufacturing defects, yet w...
