radodrill Posted July 3, 2007 Posted July 3, 2007 The pump started to leak between where the 2 halves join after a few days of use. I thought there wasn't enough coolant in the lines when I started out, but it seemed to work fine. Core temps weren't as good as some others had stated, but they were better than the Vigor Monsoon II. It took a few days, but I noticed Core Temp was giving me readings about 10 degrees higher than normal. I left the side panel off so I could monitor for coolant leakage. There had been none after 2 days of prolonged usage. I looked inside the case & saw a pool of coolant. I powered down & unplugged the system. I need to contact them for a RMA. That's rough man; Hope they take care of it for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
puzzled Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 I've got a 2nd Freezone on another system & it works great. Keeps core temps much lower than any air cooled HSF has ever done for me, even when over-volting the CPU substantially. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
diff_lock Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 what v core are you running? I am running 1.5 and can't hit 2.7. Temps are around 27c load 19c idle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

puzzled Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 I e-mailed them today. Hopefully they will hook me up with a RMA #. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

puzzled Posted July 11, 2007 Posted July 11, 2007 What do you mean "whats my setup"? My mistake. I was staring right at it. I have the X2 3800+ running @ 2.75GHz with 1.5v. I really haven't tried to push it very hard yet. HSF is an old Zalman CNPS7000-AlCu from back in the day. P180B case with the 3 factory fans on low. OCZ PC4800 DDR. I have no idea what the core temps are because it's a Linux box made from what ever spare parts I had left over from days past.

diff_lock Posted July 11, 2007 Posted July 11, 2007 damn 1.5v lol i can keep it at 2.6 with that.... unlucky me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
puzzled Posted July 12, 2007 Posted July 12, 2007 That's all the MB will give me anyway. It's an Asus A8N-SLI. The Freezone allows you to punish the CPU voltage-wise to find your peak speed. I have pushed close to 1.8v through an Opteron 165 just to find out if my peak was held back by not enough voltage. The core temps never got above 40c. That was on an Asus A8N 32-SLI. BTW, anything above 1.65v showed no improvement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
puzzled Posted July 13, 2007 Posted July 13, 2007 Just received the RMA, so I now have to find another large box to create a double boxed package. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
puzzled Posted August 10, 2007 Posted August 10, 2007 I was finally able to ship it yesterday. I keep some weird hours, so I'm not able to get things done as fast as I'd like sometimes. I kept the package ready to ship in my trunk until I was able to get it to a UPS Store during business hours. The 1st two attempts I missed by a few minutes. On the 3rd shot I made it with 10 minutes to spare. It's finally on its way to Calgary. Shipping was $50. I don't know on what scale this registers as a hassle for me or not. I have 2 of these units, 1 that's worked fine from day 1, & the other that has cost time, money, & customs paperwork to ship back. It would be easier if a call tag could be issued. .
