Serial Extreme Cooling for CPU. E.C.T.'s Phase Change Cooling Unit Reviewed

11:36 pm | Yaroslav Lyssenko

Madshrimps has reviewed a serial phase change cooling unit from E.C.T. The Mach2 GT is capable of reaching rather extreme temperature of -70°C and is capable of removing up to 200W of heat. The review describes in details a relatively tricky installation and start up processes. The author also managed to overclock AMD Athlon 64 FX-53 microprocessor from standard 2.40GHz up to 3.12GHz.

“At startup the display reads 17°C, it takes roughly 40 seconds to reach 0°C and after 2 minutes the unit is running cold enough to boot the system. Just for kicks I let it running without load and the display went all the way to -71°C, quite impressive! The evaporator heads is at -55°C at this point,” writes Madshrimps.

“As you can see from the results obtained, the ECT Mach II GT is the most powerful retail cooling solution available for your CPU. The only time that 4000+ saw higher clock speeds was under Dry Ice which does not last very long,” the web-site concludes.
