Unfortunately, most of the forum members here are based in North America; Gamemax doesn't have much of a presence here, if at all.
It's more popular around the UK and - I think - South America.

I can confirm the notable presence in South America (At least in Brazil). I really don't like this brand, since it's the "cheapish" kind of brand, if you know what i mean. But I cannot generalize, there is always a product that can stand out (in Cost x Benefit, keeping decency).

Looks like a standard asetek rebranded cooler. I agree that even though they aren't very present in the USA the brand does not have the best reputation.

The initial temps look fine but longevity might be an issue.

It isn't though. Asetek uses round copper base plates:

The Gamemax isn't:

It's not Cool It either:

Gotta be one of the smaller OEMs.

Yeah, it is most popular here in South America, but since the pandemic started there aren't many products available.

I know is not the same as a liquid cooler but I never had an issue with my Gammaxx GTE since day one (that was one year ago more or less )

@Phaaze88 Yup. My bad. I was thinking it was a clone of the NZXT cooler since it had the same infinity mirror design. Which does look like an asetek. That's what I get for guessing.
