Freezone Elite

If you want the convenience of a pre-assembled water-cooling system but the performance of a high-end water cooler, then Freezone Elite is the product you are looking for. It comes with CoolIT’s MTEC Control Center, allowing you to monitor and control the water cooler thru Windows, using CoolIT’s software or nVidia’s, as this system is ESA-compatible (click here to learn more about ESA).

Freezone Elite features six thermoelectric coolers (TEC), also known as “Peltier”, on its radiator. If you pay close attention on Figure 5 you will see that this cooler has two water blocks fastened to the radiator (the blue parts), one on each side, and three TEC’s are available between each block and the radiator, providing extreme performance to this cooler. Keep in mind that these devices are the same one used by some drinking water and beer coolers, so they make the two water blocks to work like two small refrigerators.

This cooler is also compatible with both AMD and Intel CPUs and like Pure comes with an aluminum CPU block.

The only problem with this cooler is its price: according to CoolIT it is quoted around USD 450 – almost four times more expensive than Pure.
