Well we just got a shipment of GELID Solutions fans, and with all of the rumours about Nanoxia and these nano bearing fans going around, I had to see them for myself.

GELID is a new company, but the management team is actually the same Swiss guys that started Arctic Cooling a few years ago, so I was already pretty confident that their product would be good.

They perform well at stock speed (well, the WING series anyway, I haven’t played with the Silent/PWM/TC models at all) and aren’t unreasonably loud, but they really shine when you undervolt them. Not a hint of a ticking or buzzing or whining once I dialed the voltage down so that they still moved a reasonable amount of air.

Here’s one more shot of the 120mm fan sitting next to a test bench.
