Sunbeamtech has some huge shoes to fill given the last great cooler marketed under the Tuniq brand name. The Tuniq Tower 120 is what I am referring to, and it is a stellar heatsink to use and beats the heat really well. So the Core-Contact Freezer is ...
The Core Contact Freezer is a very nice cooler and packs quite a bit of punch when cooling a CPU, particularly a highly overclocked one. It really starts to stretch its legs when being pushed, and that is something we particularly like to see in a heat...

Abstract: Overall the Sunbeamtech Core-Contact Freezer falls into the pile of coolers that work well but have some major flaws. The ridiculously hard installation is this coolers biggest downfall. It is so hard to install that damage is a very likely outcome t...
There was a time when coolers like this just werent feasible whether it be marketing or fabrication limitations at the time. When a new concept comes along and everyone reads how good it is, they tend to follow in droves without considering whether o...
Nevertheless, for those LGA 775 users looking for excellent cooling at an attractive price point, with the included ability to choose the compromise point between high noise levels and cooling ability, the Core Contact Freezer is a decent choice. We im...
