We got our hands on information on Koolance’s venture for extreme cooling solutions, including liquid nitrogen pots for both processors and graphics cards, early on. Koolance with its many years of experience of making cooling equipment looked to have designed the first commercial solutions for extreme overclockers working with dry ice and liquid nitrogen. The price of Koolance’s new cooler, or pot, was near half that of pots from the community. Now that the first review has appeared the results are not quite what we had hoped.
The relatively heavy nitrogen container works well with dry ice, where temperatures stops at around -70 degrees Celsius. Here Koolance LN2 pot actually performed better than the reference Dragon F1EE pot, designed by overclocker K|ngp|n.
But when it was time for liquid nitrogen and considerably higher heat outputs the tests made by Legit Reviews showed that Koolance CPU-LN2 pot had problems keeping the temperature even and stable, which made the pot med tricky to use, and made it look far worse than K|ngp|n’s pot.
“I tried every trick I knew, remounted the pot, poured a little water into the base to boost surface area, and various pouring techniques but all to no avail. The CPU-LN2 just isn’t an adequate liquid nitrogen pot.”
Koolance CPU pot looks like a good alternative for dry ice cooling, but those who were hoping to find a cheap high quality LN2 pot will have to keep searching.
