Good for extreme gaming...

There's no doubt that modern games really are the most demanding of all current PC applications, extreme graphics require and extreme custom built computer.  The extreme gamer or hardcore PC enthusiast absolutely requires their PC to be responsive, multimedia capable, have a wealth of storage and fast disk access times to that storage.  Any compromise quickly degrades the immersive  experience and also means you cannot be at your best and achieve the highest results. 

As games are the most demanding all our systems are tested on real world games such as Crysis, Call of Duty, World of Warcraft, Vanguard, Bioshock and Age of Conan.  With all graphics settings pushed to the max and extremes of simultaneous physics, graphics and sound turned loose, we aim for frame rates over 60fps for maximum playability and ultimate realism.  For this kind of performance you really can't beat the Cryo Extreme or Cryo Velox products.  If you have bigger budget then why not treat yourself to the ultimate in gaming rigs the Cryo Octane, where no expense is spared for eight way performance.  We also ensure the opportunity to upgrade remains open with nVidia SLI and ATI Crossfire support.  If games on your current PC feel like a slide show you know its creaking and you need a Cryo upgrade...

Good for photographers and media professionals...

We all get frustrated when the tools we use to support our lives and work can't keep pace with us.  We don't want to be waiting on egg timers, disk accesses, slow boot up times and stuttering screen rendering to manipulate our photographs, video or other media.  Much of the delay is now caused by the sheer volume of data involved in manipulating multimedia and the need to compress, decompress and reorganise it.   A RAW photograph for example can be several 100MB in size and this needs to be moved almost instantaneously inside the PC between processor, memory, disk and removable storage.  As with our games testing we real world test our machines with applications like Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, Maya and CineBench.  We recommend our entry level Cryo Quad machine for these types of applications and we would substitute the 3D graphics card for a better value good 2D graphics card with basic 3D capability.  The 3D graphics power really is the reserve of games and 3D graphical modelling.

Good for all power users...

Well basically what we are trying to say here is there isn't anything you can't do with a Cryo PC because a PC just can't get much better than this.  In almost all cases its a matter of matching up what you need for what you do with what you can get the best value out of so you don't buy expensive components you simply don't require.  For most people we recommend the entry level Cryo Quad machine, it is superb value for money.  Unless you want us to we also won't spend your money making it look like something that's just fallen of an alien space ship.  We stick with stylish classic good looks so it will look good anywhere in your home without making a fuss with flashing lights and garish spray painted body work and hood ornaments!  We spend your money where we think you would want it spent, at the business end of what the computer does best.

Cryo Boost™, Overclocking & Optimisation - Boost is a combination of design, assembly and software technology that we use to 'tune up' your PC and get the maximum processing power.  An element of this is what many of our competitors call overclocking, the process of running the clocks of your system at a higher speed than the manufacturer intended.  Well we do a lot more than that.  We don't just boost the CPU speed we examine and boost every clock, reduce every delay timer, turn up every bus and eliminate all bottlenecks.  Without our careful component selection it simply wouldn't be possible to push the systems this hard.  We also have a few closely guarded secrets to throw into the mix that boost it still further.  What you might call an Extreme Overclock!
