CRYO-Z up close
I wasn't sure if this is the right place for this, feel free to move it if the Mods wish.
So we start out with the shipping container that the units comes in. It’s very strong and has 4 straps that hold everything together.
All in all it appears to be packaged very well.
Next picture I have cut the straps and removed the outside box. There was stryo side panels inserted on all 4 sides and the top, these feel out when I pulled the box off.
And here are the styro panels
Now all the mounting pieces, foam, manual etc.
And finally the unit sitting on the table all unboxed.
There was some kind of glue or other material stick in the grills in a few places.
Now I have unscrewed that back screws, and pulled the top open. This is about as far as it can be opened without complete disassembly. Meaning that the suction line and insulation with evap at the end would need to be taken off to remove the whole top lid. Which is more than I wanted to do at this time.
So here is the left side of the unit.
A few close up’s.
The controller board is mounted up in the top, not a very easy place to get to if any work has to be done with that.
Now we flip over to the right side and take a look at what’s there.
The evap, sorry it’s a bit blurry
There is a snap ring that comes right off so that the clam shell can be removed very easily.
Now this is the manual bag and mounting parts. This was not inside the box. In fact it was said that this was a major problem with the one they shipped before, that is there was no mounting parts in that unit. For some reason I believe that this was added later, again it appeared that the first units did not have this included. The other unit that they had also had this bag on the outside. They seemed very concerned that I made sure I had that bag.
Ok this unit appeared to be packed very well, it had no damage what so ever. The only blemish was the glue stuff on the front grill. Other than that it’s a very nice unit and seems in very good shape. OCZ did a great job of putting all this together, it seems very neat and well done. This unit is not light by any means so shipping it might costs a bit. The only drawback that I could see is if you do find another unit elsewhere be sure that it has the bag with manual and mounting materials. I am sure that this was brought to the attention of OCZ and was rectified.
As I have many other projects going on atm I will set this up later and review how everything goes with that.
The projected machine will be the one in my sig. Yes it is a QX9770. Now before I even start that I want to be clear that I will not be looking for a 2.0+ volt 5 bazillion ghz OC. Tho the condenser is much bigger than a chilly that I have seen before. I wish I knew what the Evap looked like inside, perhaps it’s just a chilly evap. May be Ryder would like to say what it is. I will let the others here with more experience in these builds say what they think about all this.
I would say so far, very nice job OZC, so far this looks great !
opps looks like I used a few images that I did not scale correctly, sorry about that. I can resize those if needed.
