OCZ unveils Phase Change Cooling unit! - Page 2

more info:

What makes the Cryo-Z different from the other phase change coolers on the market is it's economical price point. With most entery level water cooling kits going for $200 this phase change cooler should blow them away in terms of raw cooling power if OCZ is able to get prices in the $200 range like their marketing team hopes. It should be pointed out that OCZ did have to "reduce" some features on the phase change cooler to keep the prices down. One is example of this is that the model is a sealed unit. This means that end users can not buy the Cryo-Z and change the coolant right out of the box.

Although the OCZ Cryo-Z uses a compressor that has a label that says R134a that is not the case. OCZ didn't want to comment on exactly what coolant is used but did mention that they picked the best price versus performance coolant for what they wanted. We spoke with Tony (Big Toe) from OCZ who has had one for a lenghty period of time and he was seeing -22C at idle on an AMD FX-57 overclocked to 3.3GHz and around -10C under load. If these numbers are correct the Cryo-Z is inline with other more expensive phase change coolers on the market.
