I hope you guys can learn from some constructive criticism. I say this because the computer world needs people, and the review world does too, but I think your type of reviewing could use a lot of work, and less "cool stories" and "lol you mads", don't insult the people who insult you just shrug it off and be the bigger men.
Perhaps then you could get a sent products by companies to review them, maybe you do now, but I doubt it. Telling people who disagree with you constantly that they suck is not the way to get viewers. Forget the people are calling you stupid you already lost them, but you are losing potential people who may be afraid to comment for fear of you ridiculing them. Also try having a script when you review things, your reviews sound VERY muddled due to the "whatevs" ummm yeahs. YT comment length sucks.
When doing a review try not to call things stupid so often. Don't kid yourselves companies DO have people that watch reviews on youtube to see what reviewers are saying about their products. Calling the product terrible over and over again, making jokes and laughing about how bad you think the product is, just state what you don't like about it. List good points that you like, by all means do mention the issues but not in such a way that makes you come off like complete jerks. Cont. due to space
I have watched a few of your videos and, well how can I say this without being rude? It is obvious you are not professional, and it honestly has nothing to do with your computer skills. It has everything to do with your people skills. I have seen numerous comments that only receive a "lol cool story bro." Why? What do you gain by doing this? People who might have subscribed to you will be turned off by this. You are also too inviting of trolls and maybe you want this but I don't see why? Cont.
lol You guys modded your case by tearing the metal. Why don't you go pick up a rotary tool like a dremel drill and cut proper holes then file it down. You guys are hard core un professional but hey atleast your video's are laid back.
I would just like to say that I can still hear the fans. Now you may or may not be aware of this - but without both panels on your case, your cooling is irrelevant. Every fan accelerates air through the case, but without the sides on, your case loses its pressure environment, and you lose a LOT of airflow.

No one is hating.Its the truth they are idiots.Do u want proof?

Ok thanks. The z68 is an 1155 so I should be safe. Sad that the cooler didn't work efficiently for you. Gave me a few worries watching this. I will be oc my I5 2500k to 4 to 4.2 so keeping my fingers crossed that my cooler works how it should. This is the first video I've seen where it fails.
@Archulerus well this video is weird, we had an extremely hot i7, we used way too many volts and just didn't really know what we were doing. You should be able to get get 5ghz with that thing
Is that the NVIDIA Haf x? I have the regular one in the build I'm making as well as that cooler. Did you have installation issues wither frio on the back because of the mobo? I would like to choose the correct z68 mono to avoid haveing to take cutters to my case.
35c? My Phenom II x4 955 BE Never idles above 30c and it's overclocked to 4.0gHz (That is only by adjusting the clock multiplier. No voltage tweaks, completely stable)
not sure why its hard to beleave though... if i can hit 4.0Ghz on a q6600 and temp of 56C on games and 42C in bios...? like not sure why you tripping. dont be mad that you cant overclock lols.
I own a Frio and it is one of the best coolers knocking down 15 degrs of my overclocker and overvolted Q6600 compared to Arctic Cooler Freezer 7 Pro rev.2 so i think its a great cooler. Try to reapply TIM, check mounting and test again.
@lifehackertips lols? Q6600 is not a bad cpu chip bro hahaha. its a quad so not sure why you hating on him. i have the same and my brother has the Intel Core i7-980 we both have the same Thermaltake Frio only thing is his is hitting 6.5Ghz at 50C-53C
@blamic83 hey did you get passed 4.0Ghz? i have the same fan and trying to hit higher atm. i can hit 4.2Ghz on the Q6600 but any higher will not work longer then a few hours with out overheating in a game. 4.0 Ghz i can run any game high end for days in and out at a temp of 56C.
@bganightfire Nahh. I've got to 3.5 but i dropped it down as every game works smoothly anyway so there is no need for it to go that high yet. BF3 will most likely force me to go higher but im happy with 3 Ghz atm ;)
used amd 965 cpu OC to 4gHz -- running OCCT and getting temps that dont even go past 52 -- this heatsink does its job and my MAIN THING WITH HEATSINKS -- i cant even hear it.. if your here to see a review, this IS one of the top 5 heatsinks u can get your hands on.. PS the guy in the background is fuckin obnoxious and just generally annoying, GTFO u retard
@kwazhimself screw you dude, this is my youtube channel. In this instance the frio did bad, all we can say about it, we have used it many more times in our other videos where it did much better, but here it did bad.
@LavcoPriceTech i'll be honest with u, i was outta line k? so my apologies. -- BUT.. all caps but, this heatsink will do the job. now using i7 2600 K, i cant hear the fucker, and temps are down. in trials, using sound, scientific methods for testing.. this heatsink stands behind only 3 other air heatsinks on the market.. and the main.. main main primary, super important point.. the point of the heatsink, ITS SILENT, heat dissipation via conduction and convection.. the purpose
@humeyboy how about you watch one of our other reviews before making assumptions? This time the frio didn't do so well, we have used it several other times after this. Maybe you should clean the egg off your face before you call someone a clown.
I ain't a kid (older than you 2 by many years) so do not call peeps names for sake of it, I called you clowns because you both are goofing about and even admit your CPU may be faulty and your not the best at overclocking!
I HAVE read many reviews on this cooler and bought it on the reviews today!
(CONTINUED) I have a Noctua right now and its great but my kit was bought long ago before 1156 then 1155 (same fittings for both) launched so I would need contact Noctua and wait on them sending me a new bracket to mount to new Z68 Mobo (not arrived yet).
I decided to try this cooler going by reviews and I am quite fussy!
The top cooler soon is supposed to be the yet to be launched Akasa AK-CC4008HP01 Venom Voodoo as its predecessor was very good!
haha i broke one of my fans doin the same thing u just did in this vid haha, and its hard to find replacements, i just got another cooler and got one as a spare, fucking love this cooler, 65*C 4GHz I5 750 ahh yeaa!!
Haha :D you say that cooler caused your blue screen? You say that i7 will crash when it's under 50 celcius? Gosh... your overclocking is just so god damn unstable. The vanilla clocks of that processor is 2,66ghz and you overclocked it to 3,9ghz. even when you have raised voltage the temperature of the processor is under 40 in idle what is pretty nice... that cooler is not bad at all...
@chiefgeargrinder When folding it would be low 80s high 70s, my i5 is low 60s. My i5 seems faster in the everyday usage, checking facebook and email, writing papers for school. That is why I like it better.
@PossiblePoison The problem with non-professional real world reviews is most people really have no idea what they are doing, they just think they do. Case in point, this cooler is one of the best you fan get, it gets fantastic reviews from just about every "professional" reviewer out there. Cases like this are rare. So you are left asking yourself questions like, What thermal paste did they use? How much did they use? How was it applied? Is it seated properly? Burn in time?. And so on. :)
@TRStrider74 i agree with everything you just said...there are many varibles to consider here...especially with pc's..they can do the most unpredictbles things..its just a case of going threw everything and finding the fault...
from you're other videos i can now say, i would never come to you idiots for anything to do with computers, maybe to move some furniture around, but never computers.
you're very unprofessional and in most cases, it seems like you have no idea what you are talking about or doing. end of story, stop touching things you shouldn't. aka. COMPUTERS
Amd phenom ii 1100t can run anything out today maxed. Why buy an i7 for double or more? Use extra for gpu,ram,case,bills,gas money. Bragging rights don't compare to satisfaction. I'm satisfied with my 4-core amd. I don't want to run 4-opterons at 12 cores each. (that's what you should use for bragging rights) just stop wanting the best.
BTW: amd had 300 core pcs out years ago, so did intel. No sane person could afford the best.
my first gaming rig ever, included the Frio to be installed, and i had to install it ALONE =|, its pretty awesome but the noctua is half the fan speed and around the same performance
I have the frio on my 2500 but sadly in my new build the gtx 580 died after 2 min in the UEFI but i read that it was at 40C but temps never moved. im hoping when the new 580 gets here tomorrow and when i get it the temps will be lower. maybe i used too little thermal paste? ( Arctic Cooling MX-4)
Hate to say either you failed to install the thermal paste right, (core 3 is significantly hotter than the other 2), not to mention you clearly say that the chip was burned out to no end... That cooler has some of the best reviews on the market, you messed up not them...
@crzydood17 I'm inclined to agree with Crzydood17. How in the hell are you going to take a "busted" i7 chip, do a horrible attempt at overclocking it, and then rag on the Thermaltake Frio?
@iTek42 Like this. My i7 is not busted. We applied everything the same as we always do. And everything else does well. So reason would be leading me to believe that the variable is the cooler. It is also very normal to have different cores to have different temps.
If you want to see it in a competition check out our Heatsink comparison video.
@LavcoPriceTech I'm just going off what you said in the video, dude. You said several times, "This i7 is busted. It's been overheated numerous times....". Also, which i7 were you attempting to overclock? With 1.5+ CPU volts, you're going to have high temps. The i7-920 overclocks to 4GHz on 1.35v, so not sure why you would go with 1.5+ volts. Then again, you did say the i7 was "busted" and you had to up the voltage just to overclock it.
I burst out laughing when you said you had to mod your case and the thing looks burst the ripped like you just went AHGGHHRRRRRR and took plyers to it and bent it to hell lol.... really though nice video good review.
i have this same cooler, worked greak in my smaller case except i had to switch the side fan to the outside....super airflow. this thing is fricken huge though. currently clocked my x4 2.8 to 3.4, has been stable since. didnt need to mod the back of my case.
@bganightfire yeah if its 22.2C in your room and its geting a temp of that... its not your CPU coolers somthing is really wrong with the intel chip its self. the intel chip should have bin reading around 32ish or a bit lowwer on that intel chip you have. (on a intel stock fan it would be reading around high30C low 40C if your room was temp of 20-25C) so somthing is going on with your intel chip its self.
@bganightfire Are you kidding me? Of course the Frio is better then the stock intel heatsink, we don't deny this but the Frio isn't what we would call a good cooler. Just stay tuned for our cpu cooler comparison video, we are going to try to shoot this weekend. Now about the 6 cores, they are 32 nm vs out 45 nm chips, which means they run cooler. I know we use a lot of volts but like we say we don't really know how to overclock. If you have suggestions let us know, we will try them. Thanks.
type in this : How to Overclock Your CPU - For beginners
bios overclocking is allways the best way to do when overclocking. (im sure you know how to overclock but if you really like to get great overclocking then do it in bios).
@bganightfire As much as we appreciate the comments and you trying to look out for corrupt reviews, I am telling you that we got not so great results, we are going to be testing it again this weekend, maybe it seated badly. I don't know. Just sit back and wait.
but i beleave this thermaltake Frio cools down the CPU great (not like in your video) is because the heating pipes you see on them are 2X bigger then normal CPU coolers i seen.

Q6600 2.4Ghz Quad 8MB (yeah 3 year old chip) Asus Pro turbo 8GB DDR2 (2X) Asus 5870 V2 1GB GDDR5 (Crossfire) Thermaltake M9 case thermaltake LED blue fans (2 120mm fans in front 1 120MM in back) WD 1TB black and yeah old school with some new school stuff.. i clocked my CPU from a 2.4 to a 3.5Ghz temp of 32C.... and 42C when playing Dirt 2 highest i clocked my CPU just in windows would be 3.9Ghz. so you must be doing somthing wrong if you can't overclock your pc. (room temp is 27C)
@bganightfire Dude your running a totally different socket it is like comparing apples and oranges. This is an i7 made on a whole different manufacturing process on a whole different chipset. Its bound to run hotter. As far as install it was made difficult because of the way the 1366 bracket was made and the fact that the HAF X didnt have a big enough CPU cut out hole.
@LavcoPriceTech the idea is the same thing if you dont have a brain... if it cools a cpu more then normal intel fans then its doing its job. you you understand what im talking about? the thermaltake fan (Frio). if anything your trolling on somthing when the fact is you ither (A). put it in wrong (B) intel chip might be defected or (C) you just dont know what your doing.
im pointing out that the thermaltake Firo does cool your CPU about 5-8 C more then the intel fan.
@LavcoPriceTech and sory if it looks like im trolling but facts are facts. and i know since i did build 6 difrent pcs with the Frio fan and does what i said. im asking you what did you do to make this look so bad when the fact that its not even that bad. check out other people and how they used it you will see one guy using a I7-970x clocking that beast to a 5.0 o.O and temp of 49C i beleave... its on youtube.
tips you might like to do is go into bios and overclock the cpu (best way).
ither they have some fat guy on the PC or the fact that ither there motherboard or somthing round that line is crap.
i gave my bro the same heatsink and room temp is 27C the cpu is about 32C on a Intel Core i7 950 3.08 (was 36C with intel fan on). we clocked the 3.08 all the way to a 4.9Ghz and a temp of 42C on windows. when he was playing Dirt 2 for 2 hours it stayed around 50-52C witch is not bad.
the motherboard he was using was ASUS P6X58D Premium LGA 1366.
@bganightfire Dude seriously if your just gonna be an annoying troll we are just going to ban you. I dont need a Thermaltake fan boy trying to make waves because we tested something and it didnt perform well.
yea maby u didnt get a good spread on thw tim i have a frio on a 930 at 4.0 idle is 24 for the cpu and core of 38c load temps are 62 with ibt it is a pain to install i have a haf x also this is on a ftw 3 mobo
went with the noctua nh-d14, extremely cool at 4.6 (1.25V) x46....hasn't done much idling but it sits around 55-60C full load (intel burn test) ambient 24.5. The best part though.....EASY INSTALLATION!!!!!! No need to hold the heatsink and the board and the clip....just the clip (and im my case with case cutout) and the backplate....the heatsink can be set on after and screwed from the motherboard side easy.
Hi- This is a very unfortunate situation for you boys. You stated that you needed 2 people to install. I am only one 33 year old woman and am a single mother of 2 boys ages 10 and 7 who where running around my living room while I installed this easy with them running around. It dropped my CPU temp by 25 degrees C. The onlything I did have some trouble with was those little rubber screw things for the left side fan. Maybe you should have asked your moms for help. <3 just a suggestion
@Laurah860 Hate to point this out to you but we are both 6 foot tall body builders our hands are large and clumsy. It really deosnt bother us that it took both of us to put this on. =]

Ok thanks. The z68 is an 1155 so I should be safe. Sad that the cooler didn't work efficiently for you. Gave me a few worries watching this. I will be oc my I5 2500k to 4 to 4.2 so keeping my fingers crossed that my cooler works how it should. This is the first video I've seen where it fails.

Is that the NVIDIA Haf x? I have the regular one in the build I'm making as well as that cooler. Did you have installation issues wither frio on the back because of the mobo? I would like to choose the correct z68 mono to avoid haveing to take cutters to my case.

@PossiblePoison The problem with non-professional real world reviews is most people really have no idea what they are doing, they just think they do. Case in point, this cooler is one of the best you fan get, it gets fantastic reviews from just about every "professional" reviewer out there. Cases like this are rare. So you are left asking yourself questions like, What thermal paste did they use? How much did they use? How was it applied? Is it seated properly? Burn in time?. And so on. :)

Amd phenom ii 1100t can run anything out today maxed. Why buy an i7 for double or more? Use extra for gpu,ram,case,bills,gas money. Bragging rights don't compare to satisfaction. I'm satisfied with my 4-core amd. I don't want to run 4-opterons at 12 cores each. (that's what you should use for bragging rights) just stop wanting the best.
BTW: amd had 300 core pcs out years ago, so did intel. No sane person could afford the best.

iTek42 11 months ago
@iTek42 Like this. My i7 is not busted. We applied everything the same as we always do. And everything else does well. So reason would be leading me to believe that the variable is the cooler. It is also very normal to have different cores to have different temps.
If you want to see it in a competition check out our Heatsink comparison video.
LavcoPriceTech 11 months ago
@LavcoPriceTech I'm just going off what you said in the video, dude. You said several times, "This i7 is busted. It's been overheated numerous times....". Also, which i7 were you attempting to overclock? With 1.5+ CPU volts, you're going to have high temps. The i7-920 overclocks to 4GHz on 1.35v, so not sure why you would go with 1.5+ volts. Then again, you did say the i7 was "busted" and you had to up the voltage just to overclock it.

@bganightfire yeah if its 22.2C in your room and its geting a temp of that... its not your CPU coolers somthing is really wrong with the intel chip its self. the intel chip should have bin reading around 32ish or a bit lowwer on that intel chip you have. (on a intel stock fan it would be reading around high30C low 40C if your room was temp of 20-25C) so somthing is going on with your intel chip its self.

@bganightfire Are you kidding me? Of course the Frio is better then the stock intel heatsink, we don't deny this but the Frio isn't what we would call a good cooler. Just stay tuned for our cpu cooler comparison video, we are going to try to shoot this weekend. Now about the 6 cores, they are 32 nm vs out 45 nm chips, which means they run cooler. I know we use a lot of volts but like we say we don't really know how to overclock. If you have suggestions let us know, we will try them. Thanks.

@LavcoPriceTech the idea is the same thing if you dont have a brain... if it cools a cpu more then normal intel fans then its doing its job. you you understand what im talking about? the thermaltake fan (Frio). if anything your trolling on somthing when the fact is you ither (A). put it in wrong (B) intel chip might be defected or (C) you just dont know what your doing.
im pointing out that the thermaltake Firo does cool your CPU about 5-8 C more then the intel fan.
bganightfire 1 year ago
@LavcoPriceTech and sory if it looks like im trolling but facts are facts. and i know since i did build 6 difrent pcs with the Frio fan and does what i said. im asking you what did you do to make this look so bad when the fact that its not even that bad. check out other people and how they used it you will see one guy using a I7-970x clocking that beast to a 5.0 o.O and temp of 49C i beleave... its on youtube.
tips you might like to do is go into bios and overclock the cpu (best way).

-_- this video is a fail.
ither they have some fat guy on the PC or the fact that ither there motherboard or somthing round that line is crap.
i gave my bro the same heatsink and room temp is 27C the cpu is about 32C on a Intel Core i7 950 3.08 (was 36C with intel fan on). we clocked the 3.08 all the way to a 4.9Ghz and a temp of 42C on windows. when he was playing Dirt 2 for 2 hours it stayed around 50-52C witch is not bad.
the motherboard he was using was ASUS P6X58D Premium LGA 1366.
