Gelid Tranquillo CPU Cooler Review

Low Speed Fan Performance Results

2.6GHz



This cooler simply doesn’t like ultra low speed fans and really needs more speed and static pressure than the Noctua NF-P12 can provide at full speed let alone at 900rpms.


3.42GHz



As we can see, the Gelid Tranquillo may still be in last place, but it is slowly inching its way up.


3.8GHz



Just as we suspected, the fin array may prefer higher speeds and the base may not be perfect….but when the heat is really on, it still does shine. We were not surprised in the least to see it pass this test, but we were surprised to see it pass the Zalman Flex.
