The small proprietary brushless MAG drive DC pump operates off the computer?s existing power supply to circulate coolant through the system via vapor-resistant tubing. The environmentally friendly coolant acts as an effective cooling agent, increasing longevity and promoting circulation. The coolant circulates from the Chiller / Pump Module, to the FHE, and back to the Chiller / Pump Module. The FHE absorbs heat from the CPU, which is dissipated to the coolant.  The Chiller removes the heat from the coolant by natural conduction, which is accelerated by 6 TECs and exhausted outside the computer. The TCM is used to regulate temperature. The default settings will automatically adjust the cooling output of the system to conform to ambient temperature and CPU load. Features & Benefits Liquid Chilling Provides Extreme Thermal Performance The Freezone cooling system is a compact and robust CPU cooler. Its liquid loop directly cools the CPU, while the exhaust fan removes additional heat from inside a computer chassis. The Freezone CPU Cooler is far more effective than other cooling solutions of similar size, as is equipped with six high-efficiency TECs (thermoelectric coolers). These TECs provide a considerable boost to the cooling performance of the liquid loop. Patented FHE Design Promotes Heat Transfer The Freezone CPU Cooler is equipped with a CPU FHE (Fluid Heat Exchanger, or cold plate) that is monolithic (a solid piece of) copper. This FHE is designed to absorb high thermal flux from an area with high thermal density (i.e., it is very effective at removing a lot of heat from a very small surface). Integrated Design The Freezone CPU Cooler patented chiller module has an integrated reservoir, which consists of a high flow DC pump and expansion chamber. Combining the Chiller and the Pump into a single module is a space-saving design that allows for ease of installation. Regulated Temperature Control Because of the extreme cooling capacity the Freezone product provides, there is a TCM (Thermal Control Module) built into the system to protect against over-cooling and condensation.  The TCM regulates the amount of power that is applied to the TECs and exhaust fan.  The TCM will automatically vary system level output to adjust for changes in both ambient temperature and CPU load.  This complies with Energy Star standards. Adjustable User Settings The factory TCM setting will automatically adjust the system to run silently during low load operations and boost cooling power under heavy loads and/or adverse environmental conditions.  Since the TCM regulates the TECs as cooling boosters, it is far more effective than simple fan speed regulation.  If the user desires, the TCM can be manually adjusted to suit the preferences of an individual user.  For example, if the user intends to enhance the performance of a CPU, the TCM can be adjusted to reduce the coolant temperature and thus reduce the operating temperature of a CPU; if the user requires continuous silent operation, the TCM can be safely adjusted to reduce power output to the TECs and exhaust fan. Maintenance-Free Operation The Freezone CPU Cooler requires less maintenance than air or water-cooling systems. The liquid system itself is factory-sealed and a closed loop constructed with vapor resistant materials and fitted with gas resistant plumbing. This way, the Freezone CPU Cooler never requires refilling, for the entire life of the system.  The chiller module itself has a heatsink that promotes laminar air-flow through the fins.  Laminar flow ensures that dust, dirt and particulates simply pass through the fin array, while promoting maximum thermal transfer.  The only maintenance the Freezone CPU Cooler system requires is the occasional dusting of the exhaust fan. This can be accomplished in a few seconds using compressed air, or gas. Environmentally Friendly Coolant The coolant in the liquid loop is composed of Low-Tox PPG (polypropylene glycol) and distilled water. This mixture is environmentally friendly, promotes enhanced cooling and reliability, and it is recyclable.  Unlike water cooling systems, the Freezone CPU Cooler only contains about 125 CCs (half a cup) of coolant. The coolant temperature is tightly regulated by the TCM in real time. That means the Freezone CPU Cooler does not require a large reserve of coolant to act as a temporary heat dump for low duration operations at high loading. In fact, the Freezone CPU Cooler's duty cycle is designed for 100% operation under continuous maximum loading. CoolIT is Easy to Install The system is pre-plumbed and charged for simple bolt-in installation.  In designing the system, special attention was given to alleviating any risk of damage to expensive PC components during installation. The light-weight CPU FHE mounts to the motherboard using a simple but effective retention mechanism. The Chiller / Pump Module is mounted with 4 screws typically in place of an existing case fan. A simple power connector allows the system to plug into the PC?s internal power supply.
