I want to get a freezone for my e6600 but I would like to be able to mod it in the future in this mannor if it works well. I'm sure I'm not the first to think of this idea.

just get a waterkit, like petrastechshop kits, or swiftech apex kit.

skip the TEC all together, and definitely skip this product as well. It wont pull off great temps, unless you tune it very loudly.

Swiftech has a new direct drive system thats suposed to come out. The one with the MCR220 on a closed loop with apogeeGT direct drive should out perform the freezone POS.

noise is never a factor for me. the sound from my speakers is always louder.

from the pics of the freezone on the coolit website it looks like the pumps could b removed easy and a fan could b added on the other side of the sink. (push pull) I am not sure if the sink allows air to flow through cause the pics dont show it at the right angle. also I doubt replacing the stock fan would b hard. the reviews I have read do say its loud on high. my thoughts are that if u remove the pump and replace it with a better one (no clue how good or bad that pump is) and then add a rad before the "chiller" that this might help keeping the water cool before it get to the chiller. if a good water loop will keep temps near room temps then I dont see how adding the chiller can hurt? basicly I am looking to just use the "chiller" module.

has anyone ever used a aquarium chiller to chill a water loop?

Black ICE GTX with panflo's @ 104CFM would decimate this product then.

The TEC chiller is not raited for great overclocking. If you want techincal info about this, i suggest you head over to xtremesystems.org/forums subcatigory TEC cooling, and post it there. You'll find people who will lay down the math and concept to you to show you why it wont work.

As for the CoolIT, i only own 1 thing from them. Thats the TEC beverage cooler, which works somewhat, but not super special.

thanks for the info. I am not looking for extreme overclocking. actualy I am not looking to overclock any more than I already have. (maybe a lil bit more) I basicly just want to lower my temps. a waterloop will do this. the freezone will also do this. if I add the 2 together I dont see how it could be worse than one or the other seperatly.

not being rude by saying this but I wasnt really looking for anyone to talk me in or out of a purchase. I was just wondering if anyone has already tried what I am going to do. I do thank all for the info though

well someone has tried this idea before. dell the "H2C" cooling unit has a rad and TEC chiller in one loop

You don`t have to be an overclocker to use all the good information over at xtremesystems.org/forums !!

Peace!!!
