Electric Heat Wine Cellar Cooling System

It’s a great way to manage your heat/AC and minimize your electric bill

I love my Wine Country Camera filters and adapter ring. I believe they are the best system on the market.

I couldn't really ask for more. The titanium efficiency passive cooling have really lowered my case temperature and even in a case without much cooling (2 fans intake and 1 outtake with the top open and removed all dust covers). I have this PSU under a shroud so the heat goes out the back. My temperatures went down 20-30 degrees on average celsius on both CPU and GPU. Previously I had a bronze power supply and it generated so much heat I was unable to keep the side of the case on or it would overheat. So if you have a similar need of a good PSU do not underestimate how much heat is a factor that I completely ignored before. I would never buy anything under platinum rated again. The prime line is definitely worth it over the focus series, but I would probably go for a fanless one.

The fan is a lot quieter than I expected (even on high). I film a lot in my garage and the Texas heat was really pushing the heat limit on my XH2. The cooling fan seems to help a lot. It does get a little hard to maneuver the screen if you have the fan on, and a microphone and power cable attached to the camera, but it is needed for the cooling capabilities so all in all a good buy.

I had the 12400 and the 12400F, both heat a lot, nothing has changed with this model, you seriously need a good cooling solution for the 12th gen CPUs.

I had an issue with my laptop over heating and shutting down. Once I had this cooling pad in place my laptop has not shutdown because of heat.

This cooling system is a god send for my Denon Receiver....

I do like this bag very much, I do own the Wine country system and the filters with the Wine country filterholders go easy in and out the bag and there is no chance one filter will get in touch with an other filter. The only thing I can think of is that with the Wine country filterholders you are not able to get 10 filters in the bag, 7 or 8 will be the max I think. For me that's more than enough.

I switched from the LEE filter system to the Wine Country Camera Filter system. People say this is an expensive, hipster filter holder that is too expensive. I agree that it is fancy and expensive, but at the end of the day it gets the job done and I am happy. Yes it has shiny polished wood knobs and shiny polished brass coin-shaped holders and buttons, but that doesn't hinder the operation. I’m sure it can be made much cheaper and less fancy, but this is the only version they offer. I liked the idea of "vaults" and the built-in circular polarizer. The vaults are basically holders for your filters. It reinforces the filter a little, allows you to not hold the filter directly (these two are just a nice advantage, not the main reason I bought these), and allows smooth operation of sliding the filter in – this is a big advantage of the Wine Country Camera Filter system over other systems. What was frustrating about the LEE system was that it takes some force to slide in the filters - sometimes I was afraid I might break the filter. With this it's a gentle slide and you're set. I currently use a 100x150 ND grad and a 10-stop 100x100 ND filter (Big Stopper), both from LEE with the vaults. Works fine. The built-in polarizer is very easy to use. It is closest to your lens (helps vignetting) and can be turned after filters have been set, as the knob is distanced a bit. It is easy to use, easier than the LEE variant. Quality of the polarizer aside, I find that the Wine Country system (built in polarizer holder and polarizer) is cheaper than the Lee system (filter holder + polarizer holder + polarizer). The filter case/pouch that comes with the set is also nicely made - I travel a lot and hike often, so the sturdy case was a very happy surprise for me. Again, they could have made this system cheaper and still do the same thing by eliminating the fancy stuff. But this works for me and I am happy.

The Kase filters are the third filter system I've tried. First I only had individual circular filters, then went to the Wine Country system and finally settled on Kase. I am a wildlife and landscape photographer and the portability and ease of use make these the best of all.
