Looking for a simple yet effective cooling solution with little to no maintenance? If that sounds interesting to you then be sure to check out the CoolIT Freezone CPU Cooler. CoolIT, makers of the USB beverage chiller, has sent us there latest CPU cooling solution. While the water cooling market is flooded with smaller kits, the one thing lacking is performance with most budget kits performing on par with decent air cooling. CoolIT Systems has remedied this by using a different method. Instead of the normal method of cooling the water with a radiator, they decided to chill the water with six small TEC's. Let's find out how well this method works.

Package
UPS made a visit and left a nice big brown box for me to pick up. I'm glad to see this one in such nice shape compared to my last package that might have fallen off the truck on the way over here. As you can see in the pictures, everything is in great shape. The box is packaged well and padded nicely.
