How does it cool if it's coolant-free? What does NuCool Technology mean?

No idea, but it really works! Even keeps frozen lunches frozen for a couple of days. http://aolanswers.com/questions/nucool_technology_work_735905188530900

honestly I don't know the answer,but my knowledge tells me that anti-freeze is for the engine coolant use only.

As others have said, this is the chill which doesn't use aerogel. The Ice model has aerogel. For me the insulation works fine, but its not hot here yet. The lid is not insulated so that and the shape which has a relatively low volume/surface area ratio means that this is far from a perfect insulator. Also, mine doesn't leak at all.

I'm sorry I don't know what that is.I only bought this because it was recommened to use this coolant.

Personally, if mine wasn't liquid cooled, I wouldn't have any fans on the top. The magnetic lid prevents air flow and has to be removed for the use of top fans. Which is a shame because it looks considerably better with the lid on.

It's always better when you start off with fresh coolant .The directions say that it works better with less than 50% antifreeze .If you coolant in your system is fresh now you may add it to your radiator right away .Just make sure that the system is cool before you remove the radiator cap for safety , {don't want to get burned} .Good luck .

A non liquid or gel cooled CPU cooler can only cool the CPU to as cool as the room its in. And maybe a few degrees cooler. How hot is your house? And btw... 70-80 under load itsnt that bad assuming your house is around 70-75. Start worrying when you hit 90 at Max load. If you cool the room its in and continue to have issues or unsatisfactory temps then get your motherboard tested. (I've had this issue and once it was the MB reporting faulse temps. Also... try a different program for monitoring your temps while under load. And only run one at a time.)

I did not put a thermometer inside the device, but did not find it to be particularly cold. It kept my already chilled drinks cool enough, but not especially "icy". Also, every time you shut off the car, the Koolatron shuts down. Personally I wouldn't trust sensitive drugs to this one.

I've tried liquid cooling once and though it did bring down the temps by about 8 degrees C, I did not notice an appreciable increase in performance over a good cooler like the V8. Because I was always concerned about fluid levels and leaks, I abandoned liquid cooling and went back to air.

There is no active cooling. I have mine mineing about 3 feet from me also. I did mount it vertically after reading other reviews, logo facing out. It's runs a touch warm but seems fine! Zero down time.

This product is one of the best coolant additives you can buy...surpassing even the Redline brand Water Wetter product. Purple Ice will maintain your cooling system a steady 10-15 degrees cooler...preventing corrosion and conditioning your radiator hoses. I have used this product exclusively in all of my vehicles for years and I have never had anything but the best experience. I give it a 120% recommendation!!!

I think the answer to this is pretty obvious. This cooler is just barely better than the stock one. Only meant to cool 40Watts or so.

I dont really know, but if you decided to use it, flush the cooling system completely before using the red coolant. I don think its good to mix green and red coolant.

I would say it is cool, but not cold. It keeps the same strength that you have it on (meaning if you have it on high, the pressure is still high).

I have no idea .. however I do have that product and it works very well. I fill the water container half way and freeze over night. Works pretty good at a keeping a room cool.

Can't really say what the cooling mechanism is ... but mine has no fan. I have two of these and have been quite happy with them.

The coolant is not pre-mixed, you will need to add distilled water at about 1:1 ratio.
