Still fishy as fuck, that this happened, I don't trust that man. Frozen CPU won't get any business from me anymore.

Think about it, why was there orders that were never shipped, or even processed failed RMA deliverys because its been closed. Something doesn't feel right about this not one single bit.

I recently built the water cooled PC in my signature. My initial shipment from them was all correct but instead of the dual 140mm rad it was the single 140 version from Alphacool, same thickness. I reported this to them and I had to pay shipping and got refunded (store credit) for the price of the single rad, not the dual I paid for.

 

Their reviews are fantastic but I'm sad I had such a bad experience with them. I want them to do better.

If they need employees, I need an jerb...Totally up for putting systems together and or doing whatever else they need.

 

 

Seriously though, good news as Newegg just doesn't fucking cut it (or even come close) for water cooling supplies other than AIO's. All frozen CPU needs is more reviews on things. Most water cooling supplies that I have seen have at most 7 reviews on a product, and more often than not, no reviews

Ketchup is better than mustard.

GUI is better than Command Line Interface.

Dubs are better than subs

I get all my thermal paste,fans and other odd ends for pc building and doing my AIR cooled overclocking that I do as much as I do never really any issues with them. Just makes me wonder why are people reporting these issues if its not closing its doors or running a skeleton crew?

I never knew any of this was going on. This sucks. I sure hope they don't close their doors, or fuck their reputation. There's not a lot of places like frozen CPU. They usually suck, and have less selection.

Ok, a  little digging through stuff posted by them, it seems to me that something went down, maybe some angry employees, and the whole staff got fired, and it may be that the ex-employees are throwing the owner under the bus. At least it seems that way to me.

That is true. What happened that caused the company to ditch a majority of their employees...

Not that I'm gonna order from them (US->Aus=crazy shipping charges+time) but I still want to know 

Home is where the heart my desktop is.

I really liked FrozenCPU in the past. They were always super reliable and I share Jay´s from JayzTwoCents opinion. When a retailer like that struggles or goes even out of business this is bad for all enthusiasts. I ordered at both ForzenCPU and Performance PCs and never had any issues from either.

It remains to be seen, if FrozenCPU can make a comeback and how they handle all open orders and RMAs. And based upon that, I will decide, if I order more from them or stick to Performance PC.

I see the former employees getting fined a CRAP ton for damages if they did this themselves.

The way I heard things is the owner threw it under the bus by being a psycho (breaking stuff, throwing stuff around, flipping out on employees) and everyone bailed.

well now that I read the cached thread from OCN given to me and have seen all of the pictures, I'd agree. Sad. 

 

My question: Why all of the deleted threads? Is OCN trying to censor/bury this?
