Both were tested with the thermistor under CPU both were lapped Coolermaster with 1500 and the Gladiator to 600 and then a quick touch of 1500 just to take off any finger and hand oil that may have got on it. coolermaster had original fan Gladiator has the Black label Delta [38cfm] with the silicone trick to keep it a little more quiet [works great not loud now at all] both running Seti after hour or more. OH and both HSF's are ducted to draw in cooler air from outside case. also both using Radioshack compound [tried for AS-2 but they company was out when i ordered my HSF

Coolermaster [ambient 28C] CPU temp 33C
Gladiator [ambient 28C] CPU temp 30C
well a nice 3C difference. I think if I were running a hotter CPU [AMD] the temp difference would be much greater in favor of the Gladiator.
I'm happy with the Gladiator and for 19.99 a guy cant go wrong.
