Compact and robust CPU cooler, liquid loop directly cools the CPU, while exhaust fan removes additional heat
Copper FHE effective at removing a lot of heat from a very small surface
Integrated reservoir consists of high-flow DC pump and expansion chamber
Regulated temperature control automatically varies system level output to adjust for changes in temperature and load
Environmentally friendly coolant promotes enhanced cooling and reliability, and it recyclable
Rating: - I recommend this manufacturer to any and all LCS novices.
My Q6600 Quad-Core proccessor is currently overclocked from 2.4 GHz to 3.6GHz and according to my temperature monitor my processor is sitting at a brisk 51.4 degrees Fahrenheit!! AWESOME!!
Rating: - CoolIT Freezone cooler cools extremely well for such a hot enviroment conditions
Pros: - these always outweigh the cons of this unit.
Its a heavyweight cooler. It has cooled my very hot Core 2 Quad Q6600 down to reasonable level's.
My ambient case temperatures are constantly in the 45's to 50's where as the coolit freezone keeps my cpu temps hovering in the 20's and in the 40s under load.
(outside case tempurature usually hovers in the 28's - 30's as I dont have A/C)
Compared to the stock fan supplied with the core 2 quad cpu, tempuratures were constantly hovering between 45C and 60C underload, so this is a massive improvement over the supplied processor fan.
Cons: - some but worth noting.
1. Can a little difficult to install, the cooler slightly pinches one of the tubes however it does not seem to restrict the fluid flow.
2. noise, this cooler's fan is very noisy at full tilt, however I find that the noise level dropped conciderally after tweaking the pentometer on the circuit board supplied with the unit. (however CoolIT should change this pentometer where you dont need a screwdriver to change it.)
however I have a guess that this is was intentional to prevent accidental changes while working in your case.
3. Condensation... I have noticed a little of this on my CoolIT. I would suggest to buyers to please monitor your coolit device in the initial installation, if you turn it too cold while tweaking, a little condensation may develop on the TEC's, nothing to serious to worry about because not everyone will get it. however it should be noted.
Other Thoughts:
Excellent overall cooling and a must buy if your an serious overclocker, or your surrounding conditions (as my conditions are) are harsher with high ambient tempuratures.
Rating: - Piece of Junk
Installed this on a new build and immediately the fan started spinning loudly and to think this unit is supposed to keep things quietly. The following day, the system would not boot up at all due to a Thermal Control Module (TCM) that went bad overnight. I tried calling CoolIt Systems technical support line and someone is supposedly calling me back. Well, I been waiting for over a week now and still no return call. Will try again.
Rating: - Since I need a new full-tower case for a Freezone, what works well?
So far, I haven't found a full-tower case that is known to accept a Freezone with no hassles. My old case only has room for the 6cm fan I installed so there's no way it will work in there. I believe my ASUS P5 DH Deluxe motherboard should have no big install issues. My Core 2 Duo is in serious need of cooling and I don't want to bother just finding a better air solution than my Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro.
What cases have you folks put a Freezone into so far, where it fit well and the case closed properly?
