Nice N New Shiney Lil Guy
 
Got a review unit in from CoolerExpress today (big thanks to them!). Single Stage, their new improved design for quad+ core chips. Also has their new clear acrylic mounting system supporting 1366, 1156 and everything else you would expect.

Any ideas what categories I should review the unit on?

I was thinking: packaging/overall looks, ease of installation/manual instructions, and of course overclockabillity on 3 different platforms (775,1156,1366). Any other suggestions?

Some quick n dirty pics...

In the upcoming weeks they will be sending me a new concept unit for testing also, I will update you guys as I have more info. (I think it maybe a dual GPU cooling unit)

Very cool of them. You got the specs on the internals used? Sdumper says they make units with top notch quality.

O.o
I wanna see the evap head mounting surface, it looks a bit banged up from that angle. Other than that, shazaam, it looks like a slick ass quality package.

Yea I would be looking at a parts break down from condensor to evap to compressor and metering type

Load and idol temps at set parameters

say

4 Ghz

4.5 Ghz

5 Ghz

and max clocks

I would also see what the amp draw and compressor temps are as well

Well so their website says....
"Provide -44~-48 °C super and powerful power of the cooling effect and high load ability power reaches most depth cool-off effect. "

I know its a 3/4 HP compressor... not too much other info. I have asked some general questions of that nature already today, so I am expecting an answer soon.

I just looked it over, and everything looks perfect. Must be the reflection and lighting playing a trick on our eyes in that pic.

Thats a pretty nice looking unit there, very clean looking.

Great ideas! Thank you :thumbsup:

I have already asked them what type/model # of compressor they used and what they tuned the unit for.

Thats similar to what I was planning

Well I have now the justification for buying another piece of equipment :D Amp meter on the way. I will also measure with my fluke the compressor temps!

Great suggestions I really appreciate it (rep'd!):good:

This is a clean nice looking unit. Waiting to see what max. V and temps it can hold.

Dentlord 03-23-2010 12:11 PM

Maybe throw in an amd chip for that crowd.

Cant wait to read what you come up with!

LOLW Wouldn't that just be the same as "unloaded evap temps" heh heh

that is a pretty slick looking unit. Cant wait to see the review...

A subjective opinion about noise would be nice (louder same as a in window AC unit?) Or something of that nature.

I looked up sound level meters on google and even the $500 dolalr ones only go down as low as 30dB.. so not sure it would make a good investment. Anything under $500 (all the way down to $15) seems to be good for 40-120+dB

Maybe there is something else I am missing but most fans says they are under 40dB, and those are not exactly quiet.
