Frozen CPU CLOSED!!!! maybe?

[Prozium]

Word has it that the popular US pc cooling and modding website FrozenCPU has reportedly closed it's doors according to an inside source on the overclock.net forum.

This inside source in to FrozenCPU says that all staff has been fired and the company has no plans to re-establish itself and given the fact that all the staff has been fired that no more orders will be taken and that no action has been taken to update the website or to inform the community.

"The owner has struggled a long battle with addiction, and events that unfolded earlier last week have rendered the company unoperational and shut down for good. Physical damage of the warehouse has occurred as well as the dismissal of all support and warehouse staff; the company has no plans of re-establishing themselves."

"I want to protect the community that fostered my love for computers and technology from sending payments or spending money on products that will not come. Some users have already caught on to this fact after their UPS Overnights were not delivered today. Since all staff has been fired, nobody is updating the website to inform the loyal community about the closure, nor has anyone taken steps to shut the website down. "

"We just heard back from Mark Friga, the owner of FrozenCPU.com, a long time enthusiast community supplier, and he explained to me that FrozenCPU is in fact not going out of business as rumored earlier today. He said that FrozenCPU is currently running a skeleton crew and to please bare with his company while the it is ramping back up to 100% employee capacity."

adding more credibility to the out of control claim.


edit: 2-15-15
Bill at MNPCtech has made a statement, that includes this...

"On 2/13/15, I received this text message from Bucky
"Bill, Bucky here, I appreciate your kind words from the limited reading I have done on forums as of late. Just so you are aware I am no longer employed at fcpu and will not be returning under any circumstances while in marks control At some point I will tell you the WHOLE story over a few beers"
Over my six year experience in working with FrozenCPU, Bucky was the spine of the company."

[shoe3k]

Everybody but the actual company are making "offical statements". What the heck?

[chartiet]

following along, whata mess lol. some people at ocn are freaking nuts. i mean some of these people probly cant pee without someone holding it for them.

for whatever reason, i always preferred ppc's and sidewinders over fcpu.

if the "company"/owner is as described, i wont suspect any official statements soon

lol, the one guy who called the biz next door.

It's 20 minutes from me, I went there. No activity, no lights on, no tracks in the snow from deliveries. Lot was totally un-plowed. Not speculating on why, but they're not open.

[Orthello77]

I have an order with them from 3 days ago, no email correspondence after the initial order confirmation (which likely comes from the website).

Tried calling, no answer. PayPal tried calling - no replies.

The thread over at ocn just got nuked too , i suspect because it was getting risky for them to host it.

All very messy at this stage with no clear answers , in the interim i've ordered the same stuff of PPCS.

updated main post with link to pics. (Google's cache of nuked thread on overclock.net)

Got in trouble for those bitcoin payments.

Noo I love those guys, theyre always so helpful. I got a steel mousepad from them that was exactly what I was looking for. Also some specific metric bolts for my window. I hope they work everything out because I love ordering odds and ends for cooling from them.

[Burn660]

didn't they just build that new warehouse/facility too.

[chartiet]

It comes down to the accounts of "ex" employees which tell of a highly unstable owner and a volatile workplace. All rationality goes out the window.

I personally feel they will be back. Only question is when and what happens to outstanding orders in the meantime.

A lot of people are really ****ed off (rightfully so) BUT there's no telling what will unfold when all the employees walk out on a unstable environment. Seems to be a final straw type thing. We should be suprised they operated as good as they did with this stuff in the background.

Perhaps the owner can simply hand over the operations to a manager, remove himself from the day to day, and get help. First though, the employees need to talk with owner after he comes/calms down.

From what I understand, the owner hasn't been a part of the day to day for some time now.
