HOW ABOUT THE GELID AIR-COOLED CPU COOLER BRAND INTRODUCTION

Recommended model: Phantom 2 Black/White
 
Originally from Hong Kong, Jieling mainly focuses on computer DIY hardware, and currently has its own factories in the mainland and Taiwan, and will also manufacture products for other brands in addition to its own brands. When the brand was first launched, there was a lot of publicity and several media outlets praised its products. Nowadays, there are not many G&Ling radiator products available on the market.
 
The Phantom Gen 2, which is still on sale, features a twin-tower design with 7 heat pipes and a reflow soldering base made of abundant materials. Two 120mm PWM fans are standard, and a second fan can be added for triple cooling if needed. Its color is divided into white and black versions, the black version is not just a change of color, heat pipes, heat dissipation fins have undergone a blackened nickel plating process, but the hardware configuration is exactly the same, the thermal conductivity efficiency is faster, compared with the white version, the CPU temperature can drop by 2 degrees when working, the price is 299 yuan, which is cheaper than the white version.
 
The craftsmanship seems to be perfect, but in fact, the Phantom 2 performance is mediocre. According to consumer tests, the radiator is about 5 degrees higher than that of the Kyushu Fengshen Great Frost Tower in the same environment. In particular, the 7 heat pipes dissipate heat, which is basically useless, and the 5 heat pipes are in direct contact with the copper bottom, and the 2 heat pipes assist in heat dissipation, which is particularly bloated.
 
All in all, the price of GELID radiators is in the mid-range ranks, but it is not as good as the slightly lower price of the big frost tower, and consumers are advised to choose carefully.
