Bah, I sent him en email a few weeks ago and never got a reply. Needless to say, I'm not too confident in purchasing anything from that site.

On another note, I am wiring some money to the makers of the K4.1 block. They are going to send me one :). That block rocks! I can't wait to get my paws on it.

-Ice-

After 3 months - no response - no order - had to call my credit card company to get my money back!!!

I also had the same deal with ocwc. I got the bl extreme in like 4 days. I also sent an email asking when it was going to ship. He answered the same day. Maybe he didn't have of the pump/res in stock :confused:

if i had a company rating like that i'd probly fill my last orders and shut down. Here's chips problem, His business has grown so big that it's so much for a single man to do. He needs a staff to handle everything. He cant do it all himself and he doesn't understand that. I can see OCWC closing down soon, unless he turns it around, gets a staff and earns his reputation back. it's not gonna be easy, but he can do it if he stops hiding and wants to stay in business. For some reason i can see that place closing up in the near future. Oh well, theres always a place at McDonalds for him, either that or the city sanitation services:p

When I ordered from OCWC it took 20 days for it to ship, but I accepted it because I was getting a custom order(Original Black Ice with low pressure drop mod and 1/2" fittings) and in his info page it says to expect a 5-20 day delay. My big problem is he never answered my email until I sent a semi-threatening message.

chip gets about 3253453465 msgs a day, give him a break, ocwc doesnt have a staff, its JUST him.

And customers should have to suffer from this why???

your suffering because you dont get an email back in .4 seconds? try sending an email to abit, or microsoft, they have a staff of 100000 pple, yet you get the same response (no response)

why should customers suffer?

if you dont like his business, dont buy from him.

Exactly the point of this thread!!!

thats bs, if I want to know something from Abit, I just go to their website, find a phone number and ring them.

If I want to find something about about chip, I should be able to ring him and if he is on the phone, I'll just ring again, but from what I hear he is always on answering machine

Chip is the master of voicemail. 5 phone numbers, and all go to different VM boxes....


argh...

I personally like working with OCWC. You may have to email chip acouple times, but he is very helpfull. I have had three blocks from him(2 prottypes) that all worked great. I just got a new iceflow and I am getting nearly 10F better with generic compound than I was with AS2 with my vtuned. If you have some patience, I think it pays off to work with them. But if you dont have patience, go somewhere else. It will make it quicker for others if less people are emailing him. I dont see him going out of business soon.

I dont know if you saw, but HWLabs has gone to Danger Den now for the Black Ice series of radiators. OCWC seemed to have burned a bridge there also....

He may not go out of business, and I hope he doesnt, but I dont see him lasting too much longer in the watercooling hobby ( maybe getting into another area instead.).

As someone said in another forum a few days ago, which is similar to some stuff said here: "I chose to buy from a company cause I didnt want ghetto quality that would happen if I did it myself, so I ordered from chip. What I got was more ghetto than anything I coulda made and it took 4 months to get it..."

:eek: :eek:

OUCH!!

Well quite frankly I only have one thought on this whole OCWC deal. Personally I agree with half of the previous statement as the only OCWC products which I have ever purchased was a Res/Pump from Case Etc. I bought it believing it would be professional and well built and what I got was of poor quality and VERY ghetto. It worked yes, but wasn't exactly what I had hopped for. As to OCWC my oppinion is simple, if Chip can't be bothered to ship a product in a reasonable ammount of time for which legal tender has been served than frankly he is running one thing...internet fraud.

I ordered a Koolance case + extras from Chip in September. I called my credit card company in December to get my money back. I got no responce from Chip. How long should I wait, 6 months, a year?? I placed the same order with Plycon and received everything in about 2 weeks. I still have not heard from Chip.

HOLY SHIT !

Get this. I was tipped off in an anon email that WatercooledCPU is OCWC!!!! I did some checking, and it IS!!!

I am sorry from the evidence I found in some simple looking that confirmed this, I have lost all respect for OCWC.

I am in awe of how much lie'n and stealing is going on with this company.
