CoolIt FreezeZone CPU Cooler, are you ready to buy?

[Erasmus354]

I second Mr. Tinker on this one. And Erasmus? Please, think about it for a second.

I did think about it just fine. A heatsink *is* a radiator even if not commonly referred to as one. If you think about it this heatsink is serving EXACTLY the same purpose as a traditional radiator in a traditional watercooling unit. That is transferring the heat from the system into the air. The only difference here is the heatsink is probably much less effective, and it has to deal with the heat output of the TEC's in addition to that of the system.

We can sit here and argue semantics over the definition of a radiator all day, or we can simply agree that this unit is a piece of crap, at least until proven otherwise by a reviewer who knows what the hell he is doing.

I agree...besides I like the self gratification of doing something myself..

My final verdict on the coolit Freezone CPU cooler after a month of operation
1.Very easy to install
2.Temperatures are very good under 1.54v
3.Noisey when turned on full
4.Will not fit in my coolermaster stacker 830 with the DFI-dr motherboard due to the on board sound card been a couple of CM to high, works with my Venus in the 830 with the sound card been shorter than the dr sound card
5.Keeps my memory nice and cool due to the fitting position of the coolit
6. Temperature jump up 15 degrees from idle when on full load

good looking temps

That makes me nervous. My idle to load on my cooling system is 3-4c tops. My chip would overwhelm that coolit system with it's 150W or so. That is the problem with that unit, the headroom just isnt there. I guess with the newer processors coming out that use less energy and there for produce less heat, should not be an issue later on.
