Guys,
This is a good article, but you forgot to mention what CPU you tested it on. Was it a c2d, or a quad? This information is vital to those that were thinking of buying the Cryo-Z. Judging by your article, with a max heat disapation of 120w. my QX9650 ES will kill it in a matter of hours. Now I'm looking to Jinu for a custom unit. Anyway, nice job on the review.

TweakTown uses a different method for testing CPU heatsinks which allows for an even playing field across all product tests. We feel that by using the same ambient temperature and strict lab-like testing procedures we are able to accurately compare one product to another. More information on our testing procedure can be found in the T.E.C.C. article here.

Okay,
In your opinion, will the OCZ Cryo-Z be able to handle the workload of the QX9650?

I have yet to see ANY phase change cooler that will not handle any processor currently made.

Hey Firerx,

I am not really sure where OCZ pulled the 120 watt number out of. I can tell you that I pulled the entire specs list from the manual. I wouldn't worry too much about the 120 watt figure, I have ran a QX6700 quad core on phase at 4.1-4.2 GHz and I know that chip had to be putting out 250+ watts.

Kewl,

That's very good news
