    CoolIts 12TEC Boreas Chiller

    Hi Everyone

    i build & sell and also work as a reviewer / tester for nordic hardware. CoolIt Systems sent me their new Freezone Elite to test & review 3 months ago,and also their new 12 TEC Boreas chiller 1 month ago.The Elite does a great job cooling any processor, But their new Boreas chiller does a fantastic job cooling your processor and also two 8800 Series vidio cards as well as crossfire. The Boreas can also be setup to cool both chipsets. I am running two QX9650s @ 4GHz.  While the Elite temps are at  34c-32c-34c- 30c, the Boreas temps on a 4Ghz QX9650 are 28c-26c-29c-24c. As you can see it is the better cooler,but also very expensive.You do get what you pay for with either chiller,but if your only interested in cooling your processor,then the Elite is the way to go. However if your looking to cool your whole system,then the Boreas is the best chioce. Both systems are sealed,so there is no need to keep checking your coolent levels like most water cooling systems. The Elite has one 120mm x120cfm fan,and the Boreas has two 120mm x 120cfm fans. The Elite will fit in almost any case that take a 120mm rear fan. The Boreas will require  a full tower and some modding depending what case you have. You can order the Boreas pre-installed in a Sliverstone TJ-07.

    Not very hard at all as long as you know what your doing. Time wise about 30-40mins for both cards.
