Coolit Freezone elite photos+elite holds 3.5ghz qx6800 to 40c (even load!)

**AliG** · 10-22-2007, 04:52 PM

A pal of mine (stan miranda) got a freezone elite to mess test, and so he gave me some pics of it and soon he's going to do a review too, so stay tuned!

as you can see, coolit did change the layout a bit and give it a bigger pump, I can't wait to see how it performs!

I recieved some more pictures and a few screenshots of it running today, and it looks like the elite will be a beast!

So far I know a g0 3.5ghz qx6800 was used in a stacker 830 with sli ultras running in it (which means quite a lot of heat already there), I'll get to you guys as soon as I recieve the actual review

view the rest of the pictures I have so far here

I've been informed that the price is $355 per unit, and the ambient temperature at the time of the test was 78f (so fairly warm). As far as I know, he's the only one that will be selling them for a while, so if anyone's interested, hit me with a pm and I give you his contact information (I don't think he'd like his info on the public forum for privacy reasons)

update: I just learned that the load was helf for 8 hours, and that it's idling now (for 36 hours, so we know a quad won't burn the unit out) at a mere 21c. Pretty nice if you ask me, I agree with others that this will be an interesting show down between the elite and the ocz cryo-z once it's finally filling the channel (word is that it's finally ready, the channels just being filled up)

That vaguely reminds me of a V8 engine for some reason...

**AliG** · 10-22-2007, 05:02 PM

lol yeah, hopefully the new position of the tecs along with the stronger fan should mean more subambient cooling and being able to hold a higher load. But I can't say for sure yet, I'm waiting on his testing to be done (he has a qx6800 so load shouldn't be a problem to achieve)

**Spawne32** · 10-22-2007, 05:05 PM

wheres the pull cord

, actually im tryin to get one myself, i just wish i could mount it in my pc the way he has his standing up

vroom vrooom

Looks frigging Awesome! My CoolIT Eliminator is a Awesome cooler and I am very impressed with it and will buy CoolIT again with that positive experience/

**AliG** · 10-22-2007, 05:17 PM

that's great, I'm expecting a lot out of this one, as it's actually designed to hold a big load unlike the original freezone which was made back when athlon single cores were da

. But as I said, we'll just have to wait for my pal's review to be set and we'll know how it performs.

**NeedMoMegaHurtZ** · 10-22-2007, 05:38 PM

Awesome waiting for the review...

Let's hope that it can handle a quad and that it's priced reasonably well

**mXpS** · 10-22-2007, 06:39 PM

Lets hope it performs as well as they say it will.

The Freezone Elite is designed with todays Quad Core Processors in mind and has a thermal dissipation potential of around 250W.

Fan
Power usage: Max 8 Watts
Airflow: 120 CFM
Noise: Max 40 dBA
Dimensions: 120 x 120 x 38mm

Also found this:

It is still a 6 TEC system but we have redesigned it to be more efficient. The Freezone is rated for 175W and the Freezone Elite is rated for 250W. Yes, that is a considerable improvement However, it does require slightly more power to run.
Max power usage is 72W vs 56W.

The original Freezone didn't get too much love on XS IIRC :

http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...light=freezone

And some recent reviews.. http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/coo..._10.html#sect0

Should be a bit pricier as well I assume..

But let's just wait for the reviews and hope they improved enough things to make it worthwhile..

I think I heard that it was going to be in the $400 dollar range

**cookerjc** · 10-22-2007, 07:13 PM

really nice one,awesome!

**jonnyGURU** · 10-22-2007, 07:15 PM

*yawn*

j/k

This is the same CoolIT cooler that was in the Ultra Gaming PC making the rounds at Showdown LAN:

http://computershopper.com/shoptalk/...ges_on_the_ult

It works very well, BTW. And the MTEC software is cool too.

**NeedMoMegaHurtZ** · 10-22-2007, 07:39 PM

These guys have it "backordered" priced at $352

http://www.compsource.com/ps/FZE1C/Coolit_1280/

Not very Eco-friendly if it uses 72watts + 8 for the fan + 8 for the pump? How much would a standard WC setup use?

**YukonTrooper** · 10-22-2007, 08:27 PM

Yah these CoolIt products are amazing. The reviews are all spot on and indeed they are great coolers. Everyone that has one says they are great. Lots of bad comments from water cooling enthusiasts but that is expected for obvious reasons.

**Start** · 10-22-2007, 09:06 PM

Anyone have any performance numbers?

**ACE76** · 10-22-2007, 09:51 PM

I just finished setting up the Freezone in my Lian-Li V1200 (specs in sig)...it works very well IMO...I got it from a friend who had two but didn't need one of them anymore so I bought it from him for $100...it works very good TBH...maybe not as good as high end water cooling set-ups but when my CPU idles temps are in the single digit numbers...my E6850 overclocked to 3.6ghz loaded sees temps in the upper 40s with 1.4 vcore.

Like I said...it's not the best, but it's very good...and EASY to set-up...the Elite will be much better and designed to cool Intel quads...I for one will be getting one when it's available for my X38 board purchase soon....also I can only guess at this point, but it will probably do very well on the new 45nm CPUs as they will probably be even cooler running than current Conroe/Kentsfield chips.

hmm looks nice. For us lazy folk

thanks, you're welcome to put this on expreview if you want, I'm down with that, and review's going to be coming soon. Also from what I've heard my pal is getting a boreas too (the entire case setup, supposed to handle 2 r600xt and a quad core, but something tells me it won't be able to quite do that)

I'll see if I can get you guys some more pictures

**happychappy** · 10-23-2007, 03:24 PM

Why not just get a normal WCing setup?

**AliG** · 10-23-2007, 04:15 PM

because the freezone's tecs allow you to reach subambient temperatures and thus higher clockspeeds as long as you don't overstress the system (which is why I don't recommend it for 65nm quad users), I think for say a wolfdale chip this should definitely be a beast that will get you to at least 4.5ghz without a sweat, perhaps 5ghz

**PrometheusCon** · 10-23-2007, 05:35 PM

I'm glad CoolIT is taking on the whole "pre-packaged WC setups are crap" notion that most people have. I for one would love to have one. While I do love tubes and things going everywhere in a normal WC setup, this seems like a really nifty thing to have if you cant dedicate your time to building and maintaining your PC. Damn... looks like I'll have to clean the dust out of my aircooled rig again...

**AliG** · 10-24-2007, 12:10 PM

I got some results in! They'll be up in a few moments!!!

**clayton** · 10-24-2007, 12:25 PM

I think this is the reason why the Shuttle 1337 is going for a new model revision.

it's up guys!

haven't gotten a review yet, but I haven't gotten the final results either
