Gelid’s Black Edition CPU cooler is actually ridiculously quiet. In being so quiet the fans are barely moving and consequently I didn’t feel the stock fan profile gave a true reflection of its performance as there just wasn’t enough airflow. As you can see, there are two sets of results – one with a PWM profile and one with a fixed fan speed of 1350RPM which produced a competitive level of noise output.
Here you can see stock CPU temperatures were competitive with the higher fan speed, whilst the stock fan profile was a bit disappointing barely improving over its predecessor – the GX-7.
Overclocking again produced a similar set of results. With the default fan profile we saw some average temperatures, but with a slightly raised fan speed you can see that the performance zoomed right up to the top and we saw the Gelid Black Edition equal the Dark Rock Pro 2 and post a very impressive 41 delta. Given its size and noise output (which we will show you on the next page) these are some very impressive results indeed.
