Frozencpu is having problems, as the store seems deserted and the website has not been updated and the phone number there has been disconnected, the inside of the building is a bit trashed(Some pics are in the thread Here and Here and a video is Here), orders aren't being shipped, oh and FrozenCPU owns the Heatsink Factory website I've read, so until further notice people should be careful when ordering stuff from either website. Since the website FrozenCPU might be closing its doors(this is not confirmed), the HardOCP, overclock.net, dazmode, Linus tech tips and a few other websites are reporting on this. Primochill is re/opening up a site to order from in the interim, as is stated on their Facebook page. A customized PC, found on the web and latest pic. Spwath(over on linustechtips) who has been there says these are pics of the FrozenCPU office. FrozenCPU desk with logo displayed. FrozenCPU office and warehouse, trashed. There is a video of someone who drove past their office Here(look for 'Thu Feb 12, 2015 8:15 am'), the NY snow looks undisturbed.

Ok I have a small update and an arrest report: Mark Friga is the owner of both the FrozenCPU and of the Heatsinkfactory, Frozen cpu has no paypal access now as paypal has stopped accepting payments to FrozenCPU and the site is marked on the front page in the News Section as no longer accepting orders until future notice. Site down until further noticehttp://www.frozencpu.com/ The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's |

That police report is from Sept 2014. But it's Feb 2015, so I don't see its relevance. I like their site and the stuff I've purchased in the past, but until I get a vote of confidence in their operations, I won't be purchasing again from them. |

Well no one can order, ordering can't be completed, one can put stuff in the cart, but that's it. Everything that I intend to buy I can get elsewhere. As to the arrest report, the Mark O. Friga has problems and is still somewhere in the Justice system in New york state, unless He made bail of course and no one has been there to open the place, the snow at the doors was not disturbed at all. The video can be found here on this page. @ Blurf: I won't lie, scroll down the page please. See? The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's |

Well, it's kinda like me...one man shop so to speak. When things go wrong, there is nobody else to pick up the slack. Hope the gendarms release him to do his life's work. Here, I got 7 rigs on old Thermaltake air coolers. They just don't fail, except for oiling a fan here and there. And once I pull the little sticker off and pry the little silicone rubber plug out to put a bit of furnace motor oil in them, most have run for years with nary another wimper. The old frozen one cooler is down in the basement now. That compressor was still running strong when I took it out of service after many years of hard work. I simply am not going to go there anymore, as it became a pain and a risk to a good mobo due to condensation issues. 2 are on newer Cooler Master V8s. I am not really fond of them...due to the fact that the fan is situated between heatsinks and is hard to remove and clear of kitty fur. They do work well, however. Meow.
