OCZ Cryo-Z just around the corner
OCZ has been talking about its Cryo-Z phase-change cooler for quite some time now and, although promises were high and mighty, the minutes, hours, days and months have passed and nothing became a reality.
The Cryo-Z has been recently deemed as canceled, the rumor was countered by OCZ but the whole truth is that, more than a year after it was first showcased, the Cryo-Z is finally on the home stretch. The phase-change cooler is currently in the safe hands of OCZ's engineers and it will arrive in stores very soon, before the end of this quarter. It should be very appealing to anyone who wants to run (overclocked) CPUs at sub-zero temperatures.
The unit should cost around $300 (last pricing update a year ago).

They are claiming -22C idle on an FX-57@3.3GHz, and -10C load. There isn't much out there that will get you those kinds of temps for $300.
Plus you could always improve the unit with better refridgerants or heatexchangers.
is the fx57 single core? coz that makes a huge difference, coz ive had single cores on my pelt system go as low as -25C
Still, even if it only hit say 0c, it's still a hell of a deal for around $300. Once you factor in a power supply, a good pelt setup wouldn't really be any cheaper.
