I need your thoughts here.
Gelid Solutions sent me a message via NewEgg on Monday, offering special discounts and a discount code or what the discounts were, or even WHICH products.
This is what happened.
When I clicked the links and selected a product as a test, the code was invalid. I tried ALL of their products with the same result. I wrote back and told them this.
They wrote back with a list of the products (their 120 & 360 AIOs, as well as some of their pastes and pads), links and the individual discounts for each - no more code. When I looked, however, the stated discounts were not reflected in the products. I felt this was kinda suspicious but since it was legitimately their NE shop, I wrote back and told them the product discounts didn't match the stated ones in the email. I pointed this out to them:
https://gelidsolutions.com/product/gelid-liquid-360/
Finally, this morning, I got a response to this, and it's a bit incongruous:
They included a link to ONLY their 360 AIO. The price on their website is $120, but is sold out. Given this price, 30% off would be $84. On NewEgg it is $98 (not that I'm surprised because NewEgg doesn't try too hard to compete with the highly unethical monster, Amazon).
As I told them, why should I spend this much on a substandard AIO? They don't even list the waterflow or the head.

Fan Specifications:
Included: GC-4 - The State of Art Thermal Compound
Does anyone have any comments or suggestions - on the products, the repeated discount flubs, as well as this AIO that seems to be lame?

My apologies, but the discounts you have stated are not reflected on NewEgg. For example, the 360 AIO reflects an 11% discount, not 30%. Given the poor specs of your AIO, even at 30% off, I'm just not interested. I would consider it at maybe 60% off because it just isn't good value based on the specs on your website. I'm sorry if that is offensive, but I'm an honest person.
