thanks just checking before i complete my orderSure, no problem :thup:
Did you check other places like Petra's Tech Shop or Jab Tech? Those are both highly praised places ;)
Thanks for the advise thideras. I have used petra's in the past but i frozencpu isn't to far from me and i need the stuff quick (and don't want to pay for faster shipping)

Good LORD that is funny! I literally just laughed out loud.

Really, I got a general impression that they were good.
The RR also agrees: http://www.resellerratings.com/store/FrozenCPU
Also woot 10%! Might have to get my new HS sooner than expected.

I have used FrozenCPU for about 5 purchases to include a couple heatsinks, all of my Scythe fans, and various cooling parts. They have always been very speedy in processing my order and getting it out the door usually in the same day. I have nothing but praise for them. :thup:

Didn't think so...

Had 2 purchases through them and both were absolutely horrible. I posted them in this forum a while back. Their customer service is balls. Probably the worst I've dealt with and they are rude on top of that.

Newegg will refund you money if they lower the price after you purchase something. FrozenCPU would NEVER do anything like that, even if they were obligated. Notice their sarcastic and very rude humor for xenocide being the new discount code?

I am sorry to hear you have had bad experiences with them. I have ordered from them a couple times in the past and always received my order in a timely manor with no problems at all. In fact I ordered from them last Wednesday evening, they shipped Thursday afternoon.
As for the coupon code all I see in that is someone needed a code quick and drew a blank.

Notice their sarcastic and very rude humor for xenocide being the new discount code?So...because NewEgg does it, every other place is "obligated" to do so? I'm not saying it is bad for them to give out money, just don't expect them to. Basically, it is like the "dibs" on our forums. You both agree to a price and then you can't change it.
I didn't think it was pretty rude for him to have that code like that. I did however think it was rude that he posted his issues with FrozenCPU in a thread where someone was not asking for opinions.

12-09-07, 09:36 PM
I am just looking out for other forum members, not being rude. This forum is for vendor discussion. Why would I let a fellow forum member go spend their hard earned money on a site that has wrong me and other people in the past?
No one said he had to listen to me, I am just doing my part to look out for others

Now what is actually rude is that Mark threatened me after my posts.
He threatened you!?!
I have ordered from FrozenCPU several times in the past, and I have yet to have any trouble. They are the first place I look when I want something for my pc. Now that they have this code for us, I know where I'll be buying the parts for my next watercooling build :)

12-09-07, 09:45 PM
that is too funny!, i was about to say they have always been reliable for me, have items fast, on something's prices can be high, but to me it is expected when you deal with a quality e-tailer.
Erm...Do they sell chill pills? I think some people in this thread could use some.

12-09-07, 10:11 PM
i think there is a mix between yo being treated bad as an employee vs people being customers, some people will always have bad things to say about X company or site, and other will praise them, until they personally treat me bad i have no issue doing buisness with them
ive never ordered from them(price)so hearing both positive and negative opinions is useful.a 10% off coupon is always tasty tho!
I can see this got heated and I don't know for what its worth but
http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php
Is always my first choice, then new egg, and I only go too other places when I cannot get an item from these two options.
but FCPU did a good job on my recent order. an obviously recycled, Welches jam, box was used for shipping but I don't have a prob with that.

That sux, I had a nice size loop upgrade I was going to order through them. I have used them in the past and was pleased with the service so seeing them offer us a discount was a nice step, and deciding factor to place my upcoming order with F-CPU. Too bad they didn't make it last. Would have made the difference to me.

I got my heatsink and fans in a Welches box from them too. They must have a jelly addict on staff or something. Wish I knew about this code when I ordered it, I think I made the order after it was posted.
Fine experience with the order, except Fedex forgot to put it on their truck for 2 days straight, so I ended up having to go to the distro center and pick the darn thing up myself.

Yep, and I have to be honest that them dropping the code led me back to my other vendors. I have spent about $1k on orders from the time they removed the code. Most of what I ordered could have been covered by F-CPU, but the "tease" of a forum discount kind of left a bad taste in my mouth.

I ended up ordering from them anyway, as they had what I needed (newegg was out of the Ultra 120 Extreme), but a shame to see them drop the discount.

Mark, thank you for bringing the code back for us. It really means a lot to the modding community to see vendors support them like this. By tease I meant that it was never really posted as being a limited time sale or anything until right at the end. Guess I just had my hopes up.
Anyway, your timing is perfect as I will be ordering another radiator, some fittings, clamps, and maybe a few other items in the next week. I'll be checking F-CPU first now.

As a note, pay attention to your shipping options. The order I just placed got rush 2 day shipping the same as my last order b/c I was in too big of a hurry to notice that my settings had been saved. Going to get here quick, but the extra cost was a surprise. Just make sure you pay attention.
I used this joint to build a couple rigs. Excellent service, really good selection, questionable pricing on a few items.

I gotta say, I'm a little disappointed with FrozenCPU. I placed an order over the phone for a VGA slot blower and a case. I had a few questions and wasn't around a computer at the time which is why I ordered on the phone instead of online.
One issue was the representative didn't tell me the case would be dropshipped from CA, so it arrived about 4 days after I thought it would.
The other issue is I asked how many internal hard drives the case will hold, and was told 4. This just ain't right. It holds 2 HDs with the faceplates in place. I could take the faceplates off and put another one in there, but who wants the end of a HD hanging out the front of the case?? The 4th drive would apparently be if I got a 5.25" to 3.5" bracket and used one of the optical bays to hold it.
This is the first non-great experience I've had with FrozenCPU, but next time I order, I'm probably going to shop around a bit rather than defaulting to them.
Oh well..

I can vouch for Frozencpu, I have placed a few orders with them over the years and other than a mix-up and forgetting to send the plug with a LED plug(both which they took care of promptly) they have been pretty good to me. Thanks FrozenCPU, Mike and Jeff.

I've ordered about 120 bucks worth of stuff from them in the past. They generally have a much better selection than other places. The only downside is that sometimes the cost can be prohibitive. That's why they should make an effort to keep this thread alive. Keep the OC addicts coming back for more when you offer them incentives!

Frozen Cpu always processes my orders fast, only problem is the shipping charge is pretty expensive and takes awhile since I am located in California and its based in New York.
I would have to concur on the strange shipping charges.
In order to get the stuff I wanted, extension cables for the PWR, RST, HDD LED, and PWRLED cables, I was going to have to pay close to $20 shipping. We're talking about 4oz of copper and plastic here that could have been stuffed into a padded envelope and shipped via USPS for about $2.
I decided to get a bunch of stuff at once in order to justify the shipping charges so I got those extension cables, four 36" SATA cables, and 8 fans
Wound up being like $33 for shipping.
That's why I don't shop there more often...
I liked going to them for parts every now and then as they do have a decent selection in certain areas. Another reason is that I live fairly close to them and I like to be able to walk into a computer shop and talk to someone. It is also nice for things that are expensive to ship such as cases.
However, they do not seem to be very knowledgeable or caring if you're not looking to spend a boat load of money with them. I bought some equipment from them to customize my case a while back and some of it I kept, but I had a few things that weren't quite working out for me. When trying to return them there was a ridiculous restocking fee to the order of 15% (I think) for undamaged and barely used equipment. I went into the store locally and watched the guy walk into the back and put the stuff back on a shelf. 15% of my money for that? At the time I took the deal but I asked who I could complain to about the matter. The person that I talked to at the store gave me an e-mail address for a person by the name of Mark. I sent him a message explaining the situation and I never received a reply. Rather than chase them down for minor amount of money and the principle of the matter I simply decided that they will never get my word of mouth business for that slap across the face.

Well I can say that "something" at Frozen CPU has changed since my last order.
Last order I placed, several years ago to be honest, I placed the order on a Monday and come Thursday they still hadn't shipped the item even though there were 400+ in stock when I ordered.
Today I placed an order at 8:30AM CST and I received notification that it shipped out from them before 2:00pm CST.
Still not happy about the shipping, but the order was definately taken, processed, and packaged and shipped far faster than last time.

Bump for these Guys.
I placed a $100 order in the morning and had it next day. They are local for me. Processing and shipping is stupid fast.
Just placed a $200 order from them, it's late in the evening so I'm hopping Saturday.
Not sure how these guys USED to be, but they currently seem to be on the ball.
Appreciate the discount guys :thup:

I agree with dribblesnort, sometime I just want to order one cable extension for 3-5 bucks. But the shipping is a ridiculous 10-12 dollars!!!!!@@ Since the price is so much for shipping I have to justify my purchase by ordering more fans, parts, sleeving, etc. They need to fix the shipping prices. It really is the only thing that limits me from ordering with them more often.

I did just that. I waited until I had a large order to place and then ordered Eight 120mm fans, Six 100mm fans, Eight 36in. SATA cables, and some case wire extensions.
For that, I could justify $20+ in shipping.
I have to say that they were really the only ones who carried the stuff I needed at a decent price and, even taking into account the shipping costs, it was still about $9 cheaper than the Egg.
My biggest issue now...I need 1 more fan and I don't want to spend $17 to get it shipped Fed Ex, hahaha...
I can say something similar about the Egg too though since they have a business presence in Tennessee so I have to pay sales tax of nearly 9%
It's a pick your poison kind of deal but I'll definitely shop there again though...they really seem to have improved.

Had a problem with an order I just received. They already have the correct part shipped out with a return label! First buying experience so far is fantastic!

Just for my 2c, I work overseas on a US military base and these guys seem to get PC gear to me faster than any other retailer I have used. I will echo the complaints about shipping charges though. They have a fantastic selection of items, but getting them to you costs a bit over the top. I have seen shipping charges in the realm of $15 and the package arrives with a USPS stamp for ~$5 fees.
I would shop there more often if they would re-assess those fees.
Just to let everyone know the code is still good! :) I just ordered 2 noiseblockers and a ProlimaTech Mega Shadow for my i7 build. Saved about $7. Every little helps!
Thx!

Attention OCFORUM Members-
Hi guys, we saw this thread and have made a coupon code that is good indefinitely.
From now on all OCFORUM members will receive a 10% discount at the checkout screen by entering code "ocforums"
Enjoy!
-FCPU Staff
Old thread I know but coupon code doesn't seem to work "indefinitely."

I saw the discount section on FCPU and googled for codes. I used the 5% discount one, aka: "pcapex". Worked like a charm!

It'd be nice if they'd let the OC forum members have the 10% code they promised.
But the frozencpu rep hasn't been on since 1/09...

The 10% discount has been gone for a long time now but they still give you a 5% discount with the same "pcapex" code that's been mentioned here several times. It's not much of a discount but atleast it's something. :shrug:

Erm...Do they sell chill pills? I think some people in this thread could use some.
+1 to this; one bad experience should not ruin a retailer's rep.
Holy thread resurrection, Batman!
But it would be nice to get that 10% off code again.
