  • Abstract:  Video Review: The CoolIT Freezone CPU Cooler performs great, is easy to install, very quiet, and looks great. I really love how they've implemented the peltier reservoirs. Normally you'll see them implemented on a heatsink or right on the waterblock. The way this liquid cooling system is designed makes it work very well. I suspect there will be many more products in the near future using thermoelectric coolers. Watch the Video to find out more...

  • Theres no denying the extreme performance that the Freezone delivers. It cools your processor down below room temperature, something that even watercooling cant do. This extreme performance does come at a price, and not just the four Franklins you fo...

  • The CoolIT Systems Freezone Thermoelectric CPU Cooler lives up to the name. The Freezone is capable of handling 175W of power and this means it can help you push your modern AMD or Intel processor to higher clock speeds with lower temperatures. Despit...

  • I had expected much more from the CoolIT Freezone in terms of noise as well as cooling performance than it actually showed in my tests. Yes, this cooling solution has its strong points. It is universal and can be mounted on each modern platform as well...

  • The Freezone is without a doubt an extreme cooling unit combining thermoelectric cooling with liquid cooling into an all-in-one installation unit. CoolIT Systems should be proud of what they have accomplished for the high-end enthusiast. The question ...

  • A bit steep on the price, Not that quiet
  • I truly cant say enough about this unit. The ease of installation (after I had read the manual) was great. I think the installation and fear of leaking is what keeps most folks away from water cooling. Well the CoolIT Freezone takes those elements ou...

  • Great Performance, Easy Installation, Compatible with AMD and Intel Processors, Coolant Never Needs to Be Changed, High-Quality
  • Price, Fan Speed Adjustment Could Be Easier
  • This is definitely one extreme cooling solution, and really there arent many products on the market that can beat the performance of the Freezone. However, performance comes with a price tag, a pretty steep one. The price of this unit is definitely g...

  • Testing this cooler was definitely a pleasure. We used a socket 939 3000+ processor at stock and overclocked speeds under idle and load. Under stock idle conditions we were stunned to see the temperatures drop as low as 14C at times and no higher th...

  • Abstract:  Heres how it works, its quite simple really. Liquid coolant is pumped through a number of thermoelectric cooling blocks that are situated beside the exhaust fan. The cooling side of the TEC lowers the temperature of the liquid coolant. On the opposite sid...

  • Im really impressed with that CoolIT systems did here. CoolIT Systems took a different road and instead of the normal method of cooling water with a radiator, they decided to chill the water with six small TECs. For that the Freezone is a really am...
