CoolIt FreezeZone CPU Cooler, are you ready to buy?

[ECH]

Please pardon me if this has been posted but this soon to be release WC kit got my attention. It is called CoolIt FreezeZone CPU Cooler.

The Freezone CPU Cooler is the only liquid chilling solution that provides unsurpassed performance and uncompromising reliability. It is quiet, compact, easy to install, and affordable. CoolIT products do not use a radiator, but rather a patented technology called MTEC. By using MTEC technology, the liquid is actually refrigerated (using multiple TECSs or Peltiers) then used to cool even the hottest processors in today’s computing devices. The result is unparalleled overclockability, reduced system level noise and increased reliability. In addition to providing superior performance to water cooling, the CoolIT products are pre-plumbed, factory sealed and maintenance free allowing for very simple installation and worry-free. The FreezeZone is universally compatible with all current processors.

Why should you choose the Freezone CPU Cooler? Unlike water-cooling products, the Freezone does not use a radiator. Instead, it uses a proprietary ‘Chiller’ which incorporates multiple TECs (also called peltiers) to chill the liquid coolant. This increases thermal capacity and provides for faster heat absorption at the source.

Features

* Liquid cooling is simply much better than air when it comes to dissipating heat. So say goodbye to your old air-cooling fan.
* Great for Overclocking
* Easy to install and maintain.
* Provides quiet operation.
* Maintenance Free Operation
* Universal Compatibility
* Fits in a standard mid-tower case.

CoolIT is Supercool
The CoolIT system consistently reduces the temperature of vital components, such as the CPU, well below specified operating temperatures. This results in improved computer performance and reliable operation under any conditions.

Processor temperature is certain to remain low even when processor capacity has been maxed out and/or external ambient temperature is excessive. Moreover, testing has proven that processors will run very stable when voltage is increased beyond specification due to the significant headroom in temperature differential, which can be obtained with this cooling solution.

With the CoolIT system employed, high-end components function reliably in relatively smaller cases, including desktop and small form factor designs. The alternative is failure or damage from the heat generated within a confined space.

The CoolIT system efficiently dissipates heat away from vital components and exhausts the heat outside the case. This helps preserve other system components, such as the hard drive.

When I come down with alzheimers. Anybody who buys this thing either already has it or has too much money and no sense. Normal watercooling will kill that for half the price.

The only review I see is this:

and they are comparing it to this:

Let's see a comparison against a Storm or a TDX. Both of those would kill this.

On low, the CPU was hitting 71c! At an ambient temp of 17c, it was still idling at 27c on high. I don't have a Preshott, but if I ever let my ambient get to 17c, I'd be at 22c.

HA! Over my dead body!

Sorry but seriously that thing looks cheap and cheap has this odd tendency to leak onto much more expensive parts

It's the middle ground. Water will do great for half the price, but for 50% more money and you're closer to phase. Most pre-built kits like this aren't any good anyways. I'd want to see a quality review before I'd consider buying it.

Any judgements about `looks' should be taken as a grain of salt, my WC kit 'looks' pretty simple and yet it's vERY effective.

delta from idle to full load (prime95 & super pI) brings the 3.6 to a whopping 70C (I get 70C @ 4.2 on air) on air...no matter what you use. This device idles at 27C and increases to 44C with prime/SPI. No OCing was performed. Problems appears to be:
-more coolant needed
-a fan with a better CFM.
