CPU at 2.66ghz



At stock speed, the GELID GC-Extreme holds its own very well, only 0.5 degrees behind the Tuniq TX-3. It's certainly a large improvement on the GC-2.

CPU at 4.0ghz



Again, the GELID GC-Extreme shows huge improvements from the GC-2 and while at load, it lags behind the Tuniq only by a slight margin, the idle temperature delta is just as good.

CPU at 2.66ghz after 48 hours



The tables turn when we look at the results 48 hours later, for the better. GELID's GC-Extreme leads the pack here although all the pastes provide strikingly similar results.

CPU at 4.0ghz after 48 hours



At 4ghz, the GC-Extreme storms ahead to take the crown not only with outstanding load temperatures, but also at idle.

Curing time


Despite the paste not requiring any curing time, it's still interesting to see any changes that might happen over the length of a few days and here we see a slight improvement in cooling.


Again we see the GC-Extreme performing better after 48 hours and conclusively taking the title.
