IceMan Cooler is not exactly a well known name in North America, but in December we had a few folks ask for a review of its Threadripper water block, so we reached out, and IceMan sent us its water block. Everything looked great till we tried to use it. And of course being able to use it is slightly important, if you want to cool your Threadripper.

ceMan's online presence does not exactly inspire confidence. Its retail site, IceManCooler.com notes its latest news being from 2013, but it does show a couple of updated product categories as you can find a GTX 1080 GPU cooler listed. We ended up being successful in making contact using its Facebook page and IM. There is even a video of this Threadripper block in all its Frag Harder Disco Light glory. Whatever may be the case, IceMan does not seem to exist on marketing, but rather word-of-mouth from what we can tell. And going through the photos on its Facebook page, it does some visually impressive work to be sure.

We did our unboxing and breakdown back on January 9, and we got to testing right after that, and started running into issues immediately. More on that later.
