So I really wanted a comparison between them. And for the ocv1 I mean the one that comes in the box having a picture of a black jet. Please elaborate.

In the two profiles other than "silent" mode, the GamingX is clocked a decent margin higher.

The GamingX cooler is also a bit better:

So, on the face of it the GamingX is "better".... but it's cost dependent.

If the OCV1 is priced ~10%+ "better" than the GamingX, then it's probably a better 'value' proposition.
