CoolIt to launch FreeZone Elite TEC cooler

CANADIAN COOLING outfit, CoolIT, is preparing to launch its completely revamped FreeZone Elite TEC cooler next week, for a whopping £299.

We're told the huge - and hugely expensive - unit uses six Peltier-effect plates to dissipate solar levels of excess heat and keep users' CPUs cool under pressure. Early sightings indicate it can suck up to 250W worth of heat.

Word on the Canadian street is that, if left to run without a blistering hot Intel or AMD CPU attached, the spunky liquid inside can even be chilled to a nipple-hardening 5 degrees C. This doesn't surprise us INQsters much, as Canadians know a thing or two about dealing with cold extremities.

Not wishing to snow on Spicer's parade, we INQsters do wonder whether most punters would actually need, or even want, to splash out around £100 more than an Intel Core i7 920 processor just for a big Canadian hunk of a cooler, but then again, if cooling is your bag, then maybe you've just gots to have it.

For those really into their extreme thermals, we hear there's more than a snowflake's chance in hell that the FreeZone Elite TEC cooler will tip up at UK retailer YoyoTech any day now.

We're also told the retailer will be more than happy to cater to hot INQ readers who wander in off the street with bottles of pop that need cooling. µ
