AFAIK thats what they been kept on saying for almost 1.3yrs now. :T

I look at what tony uses. So far he hasnt been using anything that looks like the cryo-z. I think there having more fun with liquid frostbite. (errr am i getting the name mixed up) :T (his chilled h2o rig)


Anyhow the budget phase unit turned out to be a disapointment. A few prototypes was sold then the project was scrapped from what i last heard. Problem with the compressors lead to the issue of the unit failing. :T


Also these units were turned for dualcores. The arrival of the kentsfield B3 even took vapochill by suprise.


Once again another case and cooling question.

It's not scrapped... not yet at least. I guess they are still working a few more kinks out I guess.

There were a bunch of images of it with benchmarks(even with a quad core) in this thread just last month.

Reviewers were supposed to start getting them...

Still waiting on fugger's review but he has one...

Edit:
After going through all the pages their is a preview review posted.

hmmmm...

Missed that thread. Nice find.

I did see the prototypes on sale on ebay. Yes they went on ebay. LOL. This was like the start of this year.

After that i didnt hear any more until this link. Well if its only 299, i'll be grabing one for sure to play with.

they will only be selling them in batches, so my guess would be.. first come.. first serve...

:Q Now that's what I'm talking about! I think I might just keep that second rocketfish case in it's box until these come out.

i would wait a little bit

specs say 120W cooling. Meaning a Quad would rape that in a heart beat. However, ryder had one on his 6850 and thats way more then 120W.

So i dont understand whats going on right now about the unit.


Also i heard this unit is very loud. :\

I bet you read a typo somewhere about that 120W, probably supposed to be 120V AC. I doubt it's that loud, probably just as loud as other phase units.
