Sweet. Too bad it costs $400 for that mini-air conditioner.

Might turn out a bit less, but I think that's a good estimate, but you get three really nice advantages you get is that it's an all-in-one that comes preassembled, so no screwing up your kit before installing, it allows you to get subambient temps, and also I believe coolit's warranty covers your hardware because they assemble it, but don't quote me on that one as coolit is a very small company compared to say evga whose warranty covers just about everything
No, the pump is exactly the same, in fact, everything is exactly the same with the exception of the "heat sink" and the water block. The "heat sink" is somewhat larger and the TECs are exposed more directly the the airflow as well as added 120mm fan support. The FreeZone is designed to be a low-flow system.Quote:

there are 4 pelt plates on each side of a water exchange chamber with house cooling water supplied to pull heat off the hot sides on the outside. I think this unit is rated about 800W :p:
No, the elite does have a new pump, the guy who supplied me with the pics confirmed it himself, he's a professional custom builder (speaking of which if anyone's interested, he will be selling them himself very soon, I think he said he got a deal with coolit, no idea on pricing though) and deals with tons of freezones, eliminators, and finally he got an elite to test out and review
It absolutely will handle that load. It is rated for 800W of heat and has been cooling two QX6700s at 1.67v each with load temps of 45C.Quote:

Its as easy as installing a fan and yes, just like a standard water block.
AliG, 3.5GHz means nothing as far as temps, give us the vCore.
I think it's 1.4v, so not too shabby considering it's size. I'm still waiting on the final results though, I'll ask him the next time I talk to himQuote:

If that's the case, it's not all that impressive for the price and looks to dissipate similar to a 220 rad.
If that's not an accurate comparison, feel free to correct me.
maybe, but hey I was given evidence to show it was working with a 3.5ghz 65nm quad. Worst come worst if the guy tells me in the end it can't hold a load that much higher than 3.5ghz, 45nm's going to come out in just a matter of weeks and that should help out a lot
For $400 I'd rather just save up a little more and get a budget single-stage or stick with watercooling. Interesting concept but weak performance for the price.
If your friend is unable to overclock his Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6800 G0 further than 3.5GHz on a FreeZone Elite then he officially fails miserably at life.
That's a very rude and unnecessary opinion there Jigsaw.

just got the responce: 78f ambient, and the price will be $355 plus shipping, mtec control is an additional $85 but gives you complete control over it. If anyone is interested, I'll hook you up, just shoot me a pm
And overclocking?
Heh Heh Heh, i was thinking about using a swimming pool :p:Quote:

I am in the market for a house, and having a pool would be awesome.
lol, that's pretty nice improvising there
as for the ocing, he says he doesn't want to push the chip higher, but not because of the freezone, but rather because he wants to keep it I believe at just 3.5ghz because he intends to sell the cpu later on (branded as used of course, but still, would you want to buy a cpu that's been pushed to 4.5+ghz on high voltage?)
Depends on the cooling, if it was always kept under 70C then yes, I would purchase it because it would be a proven OCer. He shouldn't need too much voltage to get to 4GHz on that processor though... I smell a n00b overclocker...:cool:
Dude, calm down, you're not going to gain any respect by calling people n00bs because he's trying to keep a clean reputation. That's a really bad idea imo, buying a cpu that's been pushed to say over 5ghz on a suicide run because it never went over "70c." Voltage kills cpu lifespans, not heat so much. Sure he could probably go to 4ghz on stock voltage, but considering he plans to sell it, I respect that and will not force him to do anything he doesn't want to do
besides, if he was a n00b, why would coolit give him an elite anyways? calm down and save yourself some respect
CoolIT would give him an Elite because he payed for it.
