Hong Kong, June 16, 2008
One of the founders of Arctic Cooling Gebhard SCHERRER and his business associate VC TRAN
incorporate a new thermal solution company GELID Solutions Ltd. in Hong Kong.
GELID Solutions
The English word "gelid" is derived from the Latin word “gelidus” (extremely cold, icy).
As a Hong Kong based company with Swiss Management, GELID Solutions designs and
manufactures innovative, virtually silent and high-performance CPU coolers, case fans, thermal
compound and other computer hardware for both gamers and silent enthusiasts.
GELID Solutions Ltd. provides computer hardware distributors, retailers and system integrators with
top quality one-stop thermal solutions – from bearings to thermal compound, from design to shipping,
from the moulding of the fan to the print on the box – with state-of-the-art machinery and experienced
staff.
“I am thrilled to be back in this dynamic industry and look forward to developing innovative and
exciting products with my new team of colleagues,” said Gebhard Scherrer co-founder and Sales
Director of GELID Solutions Ltd.
“We aim for high quality, innovation and best service and, being Swiss, we leave nothing to chance,”
said VC TRAN co-founder and Marketing Director of GELID Solutions Ltd.
Both founders have worked in the PC Cooling industry for a number of years and successfully built up
an IT company with their expertise. Through their formerly founded company, they established a
globally recognised brand and stellar reputation in the IT industry.

CPU: All Athlon 64 X2, Athlon 64, All Athlon 64 FX, Opteron, Sempron, Phenom, Phenom II
All brands and trademarks are the property of their respective owners.
Design Concept of Tranquillo:
The tower CPU Cooler “Tranquillo” uses 4 power heat pipes and a special heat pipe constellation to achieve best heat transfer from CPU core to the aluminium fins in its class. After precise software simulation and calculation during the development stage a unique heat sink shape was created to lower air flow resistance as much as possible.
A silent 120mm fan with the intelligent GELID PWM (Pulse Width Module) control has been chosen to make this heat sink more valuable. The fan blades were optimised to guarantee high airflow while running silently. The intelligent GELID PWM curve keeps the fan silent when no necessary cooling is needed and accelerates the fan speed whenever additional cooling is needed. The multi-award winning high performance GC-2 thermal compound is already included in the package.
