OCZ Cryo-Z Phase Change Unit New Information and Details

Apr 11th, 2008 11:30 Discuss (81 Comments)

Cryo-Z, the fist budget phase-change system by OCZ, that was reported to be available very soon a couple of times is on topic again at XtremeSystems. According to RyderOCZ, and this thread here started yesterday from the XS forums owner FUGGER, review samples of OCZ Cryo-Z are shipping now to reviewers. The unit will be available soon directly from OCZ for $299 a piece plus 35$ shipping cost. All units shipped to US customers ONLY (sorry about other non-US members including me), will be backed by a 1 year warranty. The reason given:

All units are 110V, none of them will work on 230V, and we won't be shipping out side North America, if you buy one and have it shipped to EU etc we can not warrant the unit as we have no control over shipping and the fact you are using a 230 to 110 converter.

A review written by FUGGER is about to be released any minute now, so please keep an eye on these XS threads here, here and here for more information. Also, it appears that Cryo-Z won't be a phase change unit for the mass market, since quantities are limited to "well over 100 units", and every unit needs to be hand tested before it's sold.

i think its because its an older car (84) and they tried using a too-modern gas in it, it couldnt take it. The vents froze over with ice and everything, and the front windscreen started forming ice... in 40C heat. almost hit a bus.

back to OCZ now!

Oh god, the same thing happened with my 84' olds about 13yrs ago. It actually exploded inside the garage & we all had to run for it. Half the garage burned down b4 the firefighters managed to put it out. Things are a bit safer over here now. I had to recharge the gas on the old clunker b4 my good buddies wrecked my lanparty.

erockerJust take it to any automotive shop and it would't cost you too much at all! I imagine just about every car in Australia has A/C! Or do you have to take your car to a special plant there too? If it used R12 on the other hand (which is much better IMO, but bad for the environment) it would cost a lot!

I have about 12 cans and a big tank of R12:)

I have no licence but who really cares right?

Would it really be sold on OCZ's website though??? They only showcase items on there website right? They don't have a "Cart" or a payment processor listed anywhere I could see. :confused:

jbunch07you might be able to drill a hole in the side of the box and run the hose out the side and into the case that way like though your window or side of your case...if its long enough that is...might be to short with that case

Were there is a will there is allways a way.

There will be a complete order page for the Cryo-z. Linked off the product page and possibly on the front page of OCZ.

Do not sit and refresh the ocz.com page every 5 minutes :D

It will be at least a week yet, finalizing some certification paperwork.

I can't make it around every site to announce it, but keep your eye at XS, when I can get a definite day that the order page will go live, I will post it :)

Thanks

EDIT: I think you guys forgot I was here :D

Ryder, you kill me. ha ha.

these are great units for the price, as for 24/7 I run my phase 24/7 sometimes (not an OCZ unit. but a similar single stage.), sometimes I shut down for a day at a time. they are fine for daily usage though fans are a little loud.

I run my vapochill LS 24/7 with out any issues at all....more issues seem to happen when you don't run it 24/7 ........NICE PRICE!But bad company....since my purchase of a 1000 watt OCZ PSU that failed with three different units (in less than 1 day)I think the OCZ is JUNK!

whereas I have several OCZ items and all are perfect. so I think they are great. My pcp&c 750 quad is also a OCZ product now. and it is the best PSU i've ever owned.

RyderOCZI think you guys forgot I was here :D

so remind us and post more often ;)

i have owned several OCZ products (various RAM, PSU and a DDR booster) in my life and have had nothing but good experiences with them and there employees.

i had a set of VX that one stick died on me and they were replaced promptly, i actually drove out to OCZ (think it was scarborough :confused: ) and did the swap myself so no shipping ;) also there support is amongst THE best ive encountered.

it will be great to finally see this come to market as it has been in the works for quite sometime now.
