OCZ Cryo-Z out for review!

[gundamit]

I mean, anyone else remember THIS THREE PAGE THREAD

*scratches head*

This thread was informative as well. Please ask Tony about shipping outside of the U.S. ... he loves it!

[M.Beier]

Will this unit be sold in masses or just a couple hundret units?

I dont think it will hit hundred... : - )

299$ is really really cheap, I dont see OCZ benefit economicly from this one... Thing is, they've received a heck of alot bad publicity because of the Cryo-Z, so now time to prove as much wrong as possible...
Atleast, of that Im quite sure...

[KTE]

The simple matter of the fact is that if Fugger approves it then heck I will buy one myself at that price since I respect his views on products. I just want to see it being pushed. Not from an AMD quad that will top out at 3.5Ghz.

The 9850 he has is perfect for testing high heat loads, which is the main aim of a cooling solution - if it doesn't coldbug, you are talking in excess of 200W heat output at 1.5v/1.4v never mind 1.7v/1.55v.

Whether it'll clock much past 3.5G under cold - I don't think so, maybe a cherry one but not most. NB should clock high under cold though.

For EU, I won't be using it esp. since it's primarily designed for 110VAC usage, but I'm quit near Tony to check it out if he gets one.

is there any way to have one of these setup for, say a constant 5c or 10c just to keep form having to worry about condensation.

i would have gotten into chilled cooling, but condensation is an instantation concern and inevidability...

you can get condensation even if temps are above zero you know

good insulation is more important than anything else

for 24/7 i would use LOTS of grease as well

Certainly a better cooling than high-end water for the same price but it definitely won't be quieter. I hope there is info on what parts/compressor used etc

[itznfb]

so i'm guessing it will be like end of April before you actually purchase these on the site?

[M.Beier]

Now of that Im not sure...
Lets say...

QX9770 @ 1.8v, I bet the watercooling will keep it colder then the Cryo-Z
Actually I think the cryo-z will die

[Serra]

+1 for the "24/7?" question. I don't know much about phase, but I was under the impression it was more of a benching cooling system.

Oh, and for the sake of purchasing one of these (*if* Fugger gives it a thumbs up) - does Canada count in that US-only agreement, or am I going to have to find someone who lives in the US and have it shipped to them and have them ship it to me?

Edit: Why no plans to test on a current Quad Fugger? It's great you want to test it on a dual-core to see if you can hit rated subambients... but many of us are on quads now and want to see results for them.

[naokaji]

24/7 is possible with any "correctly" built phase, provided you insulate good enough and accept the noise and power consumption.

Repost of info I have previously posted.

We have a limited number, reason being we have to hand test each one before its sold.
Total quantity is well over 100 units, final quantity after testing will be below total quantity, the pic of 18 units you all saw was no where near what we have ...trust me I can not tell you total quantity though.

We are doubtful there will be a second run, the issues we had getting this first batch to market have proved to us for now it may not be worth doing again...this could change though.

So we had around 30 units ready for sale 4 weeks ago ( I was at the office) as more are tested they will be made available for sale...I asked for 10 a month to be tested.

All units are 110V, none of them will work on 230V, and we won't be shipping out side North America, if you buy one and have it shipped to EU etc we can not warrant the unit as we have no control over shipping and the fact you are using a 230 to 110 converter.

Shipping phase is a nightmare, ask Chilly how many units he lost shipping oversea's.

Now, we are considering selling the sub quality units to phase builders, these units will have no OCZ warranty and will probably have no case either, this is to protect our customers. We have not totally decided on this yet so please wait for me to post news.

So...if you want a Cryo-Z, you live in North America, you need to be watching OCZ's site, as soon as the buying engine goes live you will have to move fast

No specs on the units will change, we can't mod units etc.

Certainly cheap for a complete phase-change setup. Still, I'd rather have a custom high-end water setup. Probably quieter, smaller, and would use much less power. For those interested in phase-change, it looks like a good deal, however.

[RyderOCZ]

You guys need to actually read threads you post in

I see at least 6 questions that were already answered in post #8 of this very thread.

Here it is again: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=183881

Price and some results on a quad..both in that thread

[dinos22]

lol so these products practically obsoleted before they even hit the market

looks like OCZ's cutting their loses here

hopefully the warranty & Support will be honoured properly as this whole experience sounds like a bit of a nightmare from Tony's sentiments

considering all the ups and downs on this forum i can see why

[SKYMTL]

We have a limited number, reason being we have to hand test each one before its sold.

The fact this needed to be done in the first place is a bit disturbing.

I will look forward to Fugger's INTERIOR shots since there seemed to be some issues with insulation on the unit Tweaktown reviewed.

I really hope there is a second run, I don't think I'll be getting one this first time around, but in the future I'd love to get one of these.

[saaya]

I asked for 10 a month to be tested

so once the 50 are gone you will only sell 10/month? too bad...
i really loved the idea of a mass produced ps unit, but i guess its not possible...

[Spawne32]

Tony any idea what the shipping price will be round about?

where did you get 50 from?

Oh man Thats it we are not posting to this forum any more...EVERYTHING we say gets twisted.

I quote myself, I read it 3 times, 30 were ready 4 weeks ago and i asked for 10 per month to be got ready.

thanks sorry, i didnt catch that

They came via boat to the USA, we have to check for damage etc, these units are not empty cases

Anything like this would be recheck for leaks etc

i dunno if this has been answered yet, but obviously there seems to be issues with the whole shipping overseas thing, which makes me curious as to why they couldnt have been built and assembled in the US, wouldnt that have cut down on cost and made mass production easier?

[itznfb]

lol, people really aren't reading any of the posts from Ryder or Tony. pretty much every question you can ask has already been answered in this thread.
