First Impressions :-


Look, it comes in an ice box!


Looks like everything doesnt even have a chance to wobble around


There we have it, CoolIT's awesome logo


Close up on the Rad and Pump


Look at the pump with the embossed logo


Fan is of quality, not to mention silent too

Behold the waterblock


Yeah, its flat and shinny too. They did a very good job on lapping it down to perfection


Just look at that mirror


Installation guide


Standard mountings and such


the 12cm to 9cm adapter


Finally, the circuit board with output for other fans too!

Here is the test bed. Pictures taken with iPhone!

Test Bed:

Processor: Intel C2D X6800 Extreme @ 3.85GHz @ 1.45 vcore
Motherboard: Foxconn MARS
RAM Module: Team Xtreem DDR2 Special OPB Edition (Micron D9GMH)
Graphic Card: Foxconn 8800GT
Power Supply Unit : Silverstone Decathlon 1200W
Hard Disk: Western Digital 36Gb Raptor
Operating System : Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2

Testhing Materials Used :
1. Artic Cooling MX-2

Testing Methods Used :
1. CoolIT and Heatsinks are tested twice(cool down is 5 minutes between each test), the average results is taken as the result.
2. The same amount and type of Thermal Paste used is kept constant for all Heat Sinks used
4. A Thermal Probe is placed at the edge of the CPU to retrieve the temperature. The Thermal Probe ensures accuracy in Temperature reading.
5. Load test were done by running ORTHOS Small FFT test priority 8 for 20 minutes. Ambient temp prior every test was be measured.

Results:


Pros:-
-Easy Installation
-Superb performance
-Performance gain if slight modifications are made
-Will look very nice and clean in a case

Cons:-
-Fan is relatively slow(guess is for a silent setup)
-I feel there are just too many wires, may cause clutter
-Very hard to get in Malaysia


Conclusion
Touching this item has really made me fall in love with the TEC cooling idea. I have to say that this is really by far one of the best cooling alternatives i have ever used (my watercooling setup should be the best hehe). The concept and design put into the CoolIT Freezone is truly remarkable and my hats goes off to the designer and engineers behind the scenes The neatness while its chucked into the case and the awesome performance, I would say its something worth spending on

I award the CoolIT Freezone a 9/10

A special thanks to my sponsor, you know who you are

How much is this cost?? Sound interesting.

Above RM1000.
By the way, the temperature is superb.

Wow... It looks nice ..... N simple. Where 2 mount da whole kit exactly???

good question. im also wanna know where to mount the cooler. got pics?

I will take a pic of my setup tmrw

nice, i would like to see more picture on the setup too.
how about we replace the stock fan with better 120mm fan?
like delta or yateloon?

Which is better between this and the swiftech H20 kit?

Honestly if you are on dual core setup this should be better than the wc setup
for quaddies get the wc:D

Thats mean the swiftech H20 is also good for dual core??

good la

but for price per performance goes to this CoolIT kit

Cool IT Freezone shud be >rm 1k,
if Cool IT eliminator can get around rm 600-700

anyone selling this wc kit
temp drop is amazing..

its a hybrid of liquid + TEC cooling systems...
not a full WC kit

really impress with the temperature drop ...maybe the temp will goes down more if the fan replace with high performance one
