I'm sorry, but allot off people were hoping for a good 24/7 unit, and your statement about phase being for benching imo only holds up with cascades. A good ss with proper insulation and heating elements can for sure be a viable 24/7 cooling solution, though no I don't have first hand experience with it. I have a ss, just not using it. Yes it's loud, but it's caseless, and my wc is pretty noisy to because I prefer lower temps over silence. Think I'm not alone on that either, and if you don't have your system in your bedroom why not? I know people who have mini fridges near their sleeping area ( lazy bums! ... or wait, small apartments ) and they don't mind.

It's something allot off people can grow accustom to, and those who frequent SilentPCreview aren't the same crowd as Ocz is targeting this on.

I'm sorry, I just don't agree with the review's tone.

I will be waiting for a follow up when you get the heating element and a proper cpu to test on.


@Troufmann, isn't the q6600 when clocked hotter then the QX9650 or 9770?

You guys are going to make me tear apart my QX6700 system aren't you?

For most system noise is just as important as performance. At a solid 68 dB the unit is not quiet and neither is my Mach II GT, the only other phase change unit I have worked with. Also remember that the article was written for TT, so mainly gamers and mid range enthusiasts and not for XS members who sleep with compressors in their bedroom


For the question about R507 and 120 watt, these are the specs listed in the manual, the only numbers I was able to locate.
