Well, after some time fiddling with the FZE I got some results...nothing that I go "wow" at really, but ok I guess. It shaves off about 7C compared to the TRUE at 100% fan, and about 4C at 60% fan (comparable noise to TRUE).
Testing with my low-voltage 3.8GHz OC using QPI:Uncore in 1:1 (3.6GHz each)...
Nice idles at 25C, but load is not so good. I am expecting load in the mid 50s for this clock, but I am peaking out at 61C using two instances of LinX. The temps are part of the second 20-run (I did one 20-run first to warm everything up).
Anyway, here it is...oh and, there is a slight chance that 2-3/6 of my TECs are not working correctly, so I am RMAing this baby later in the week and will be doing more testing with the replacement unit. I did the "low" idle test and the coolant temp could not drop below ambient (23C) even with TECs and fan at 100% for an extended period of time. Definitely no condensation or anything which indicates a problem with TECs. They should get very cold if working properly according to Coolit, like not ice-cube cold, but very cold-water cold (between 7C and 12C).
