Testurteil: "Highly-Recommended"
Test: Einzeltest: Gelid GX-7 CPU Cooler
Zitat: 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, restrict you from using all four of your DIMM and or considered pricey by many. Well, the Gelid GX-7 definitely does not fit in one of these categories. The GX-7 comes into the fold weighting a mere 720 grams which is considered a lightweight when talking about today’s top coolers. Adding in an additional fan added some ounces to the total weight of the cooler but still keeps it over the 800 gram range. Performance is well within range of being considered good. The GX-7 did well against many other coolers within the same class. And this included coolers from Cooler Master and Scythe. The GX-7 did excel when you add a second fan to the dropping the temps about two degrees. And if you want to take things one step further. Not included in the charts above are temps using the Gelid GC-Extreme which dropped the temps another degree performing better than the Arctic Silver 5 we test all our CPU coolers with. Price for the Gelid GX-7 is hovering around the $65 area. This put the cooler in some pretty good competition. We believe the price is set at this point due to the fact the cooler is accompanied by a Wing 12 PL cooling fan which cost about $20 alone.
