Design Concept:
Traditional heat pipe arrangement of high-end heatsink heatpipes are usually soldered on one row. Therefore the heat absorption capacity of the outer heatpipe will be negatively affected when there are more than 5 heatpipes.
To solve this problem a special array of heatpipes was used on GX-7 to take full advantage of all 7 6mm heatpipe heat transfer capacity. On GX-7 two heatpipes were soldered on top of three middle heatpipes.
Traditional heatpipe arrangement
Unique heatpipe arrangement on GX-7 to take full advantage of all 7 heatpipe
Air Flow Concept:
The fins in the middle part of the heatsink of GX-7 were designed in a V-shape. This allows the cooling air to reach the heatsink module more evenly. Thanks to some openings inside of the heatsink and near the heatpipes let fresh-air flows in from the top and the bottom to zones normally poorly ventilated and eliminates the creation of hotspots from building. The unique heatsink shape supports dual fans.
Besides the multi-award winning high performance GC-2 thermal compound ddditionally mounting clips for AMD AM2/ AM2+/AM3/AM3+/FM1 and Intel 775, 1366, 1155, 1156 sockets and back plates for Intel LGA 775, Core i5 and Core i7 boards are all included.
The cooler is RoHS and WEEE conform and carries a 3 year warranty. Please have a look at the installation manual and height restriction drawing.
MSRP: USD 70 / Euro 45

September / 2011: Whitexx-Modd.de “Gelid Solutions bringt mit dem GX-7 einen ausgezeichneten CPU-Kühler auf den Markt, welcher der Konkurrenz durchaus die Stirn bieten kann. Das Design ist einmalig, die Temperaturen in den Tests waren sehr gut. Zudem überzeugt der GX-7 durch sein geringes Gewicht sowie seine Größe, denn er lässt genug Platz für die restlichen Hardwarekomponenten. Außerdem bringt er mit dem Wing 12 PL Blue einen atemberaubenden, blauen Leuchteffekt mit in das Gehäuse, denn es kommt nicht gerade häufig vor, dass ein Prozessorkühler von Haus aus mit einem LED-Lüfter ausgestattet ist. Das Zubehör ist reichhaltig, die Montage sehr leicht. Für einen Preis von 45 € wird der Gelid GX-7 bald im Handel erhältlich sein – das macht ihn für uns zum ganz klaren Preis/Leistungssieger! “ |
Performance: We certainly did not expect to see the medium sized Gelid GX-7 at the top of our chart, even while using an aftermarket thermal compound. The cooler certainly performed significantly better when we used the GC Extreme thermal grease but it is only fair that we compare its performance against other coolers only while we were using the supplied GC-2 thermal compound. Still, even while using the supplied thermal compound, the Gelid GX-7 manages to outperform much larger competitive products and easily competes with some of the best coolers currently available. Its Wing 12PL fan is certainly audible while rotating at 1800RPM but it actually is quieter than other fans running at speeds close to that, meaning that Gelid’s noise reduction techniques really paid off. Performance Score 9.5/10 Aesthetics: While the main body of the GX-7 looks like any other tower cooler, the plastic top cover and the blue LED Wing 12PL fan do give a very unique look to this product. We found the Gelid GX-7 to be very well aesthetically balanced; fancy enough to easily draw attention but without overdoing it and end up looking kitschy. Aesthetics Score 9.0/10 Value: The MSRP suggested by Gelid for the GX-7 cooler is 65 USD / 45 Euro, which does not make it a cheap cooler but the price seems fair; especially when considering that the Gelid GX-7 cooler ships with a Wing 12PL cooling fan included. Value Score 9.0/10 |
