Yeah aparently price is hoped to be 300 but deffo under $500 no not sure what that'll equate to probably at least £300.

Not sure on performance either some are rumouring it to only have R134a others suggest it'll have R507.
Seems to only be a 1/6hp compressor but supposed to be very efficient.

An OCZ employee has said they'd seen -12 reported on a x2 at load clocked fairly high. So doesnt seem to be a contender for the LS/GT but certainly a good budget option

IF thats true then its somewhat superior to the vapochill LS, I get +VE figures for load temps for a single core.

I get -40 load and -55 idle @ the evap and bios reports -25 cpu but thats gotta be wrong on my last board (Fatil1ty) it reported -9 @ idle on a fx55

the price of other vapo kits is whats put me off for now. if this thing is cheap enough and performs well, i might get it to break 3gig on my x2

Looks like it uses R134a according to the last photo on this mini review on *****;

Edit: I lie, according to another site: "Although the OCZ Cryo-Z uses a compressor that has a label that says R134a that is not the case. OCZ didn't want to comment on exactly what coolant is used but did mention that they picked the best price versus performance coolant for what they wanted."
