Gelid Tranquillo CPU Cooler Review

High Speed Fan Performance Results


2.6GHz



Well one thing is certain: that Wing 12 PL is a really good fan as even the formidable Scythe S-Flex “G” can only barely beat it at stock heat loads. Also on the positive side is the Gelid Tranquillo is a very good cooler at stock heat loads and can even beat the mighty Prolimatech.


3.42GHz



Things are not quiet as rosy as they were at stock levels, as this cooler does drop down the charts a bit but it doesn’t fall as fast or as far as would have thought.


3.8GHz



The trend which started with the mid heat load test has obviously continued and as we can see the Gelid Tranquillo has a firm grip on 5th place. While this may not sound all that great, it actually is when you notice that the other more budget orientated coolers have fallen off the pace set by the big boys, this cooler is still holding its own and only doing slightly worse than the venerable TRUE Black.
