Hopefully nothing is wrong with it. Only time will tell...


Hi mate congrats on your unit! I remember my first Cryo-Z I did a lot of damage back then.

It's normal the differences in temps, it really depends on the ambient temps too, my SS would display higher temps on the evap when it was COLD here and displayed lower temps when it was WARM. But it would hold the same load no mater what.

Probably the algorithim used on your temp measuring device. I believe some (to save money) just program in a 68F default and calculate the differnce in resistance on the probe itself and get your temp that way. A dual probe is good because you can setup one probe for ambient and calculate T1-T2 delta and see if it is actually running colder/warmer than it reports.

Well thats my theory anyway LOL

Are you sweet talking it like its a lil dog? Telling her your going to pimp her out in some OCA swag. Cuddling her in your arms showing her some luv? I would be lol

It's a little heavy for that... but what the hell, might even lay the sausage on it...

When i fire it up it's kinda making a noise once it gets to -38. It's coming from the compressor. I have no clue what it is. Maybe I'm messing with it too much too soon?

Gutterz 04-05-2010 04:44 PM

Big girls need luvin too lol.
What kind of noise? Ticking noise or a buzz?

FACE 04-05-2010 04:47 PM

Clicking.... pretty spaced out... first click at -38... but it's not just a click.. I described it to someone as the sound at the beginning of Snoop Dog's "drop it like it's hot."

No clue... bad compressor?

Neuromancer 04-05-2010 04:51 PM



The clocking tongue sound from what he told me via IM and not rhythmic

Otherwise (my compressor experience is fridges.. they make noise its bad... and air compressors. they all make noise and a tsk tsk tsk as it tops off seems normal)

Gutterz 04-05-2010 05:02 PM

lol.

My experience is window A/C's an mine click, when no clicking present the compressor isnt on. An thats on both of my units. Maybe its just noisey.

FACE 04-05-2010 05:15 PM

I think I may just need to let the oil settle a little longer.... :Dizzy:

Gutterz 04-05-2010 05:33 PM

My A/C units hold -30 in resi but if my room temp goes up cause of the heat that it puts out. It will be -25. So I always got cooler air via window fan blowing on the HX an it helps.
