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 expens...

Gelid Solutions are a company we have worked with in the past, we reviewed their excellent Icy Vision VGA cooler. The standard, in terms of my expectations have been set high because of that product, but we won't let pre-determined ideas get in the way of...
The Gelid GX-7 costs a mere £33 in the United Kingdom. When you consider you are getting a LED 120mm fan, a very nice heatsink and a healthy 7 heat pipes, it dawns on you just how well priced this cooler is. The Respire T40 which costs about 10% more actu...

Today I will be looking at the Gelid GX-7 from Gelid Solutions which is currently the only CPU cooler available under their ‘Gamer' range of products. They do however have more CPU coolers available to choose from within their ‘Silent' range of products...
The Gelid GX-7 CPU cooler has certainly given my current Corsair A50 a run for its money. The overall quality and design of both the heat sink and fan are excellent and the addition of the PWM control and LED lighting is also a nice touch. I did run into...

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 fan...

CPU coolers are an interesting section of the PC market. It is one of the few categories where, barring size restrictions, there is often a clear king of the mountain. Many PC enthusiasts spend hundreds on top contenders, but they often overlook the fa...
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...

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 Solutions Ltd. takes its time in designing and launching new cooling products. While other well-known companies launch about 2-3 new coolers every six months, GELID was for a while stuck with their pretty interesting Tranquillo cooler and just re...
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...

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...

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...

The Gelid GX7 had the looks and had what seemed like a very innovative design on paper, but ultimately the performance was a bit disappointing. Obviously, it's still a fantastic cooler if you're comparing it to the stock cooler included with most processo...
