Frio sounds too much like Fryer.

Tengo mucho frio.

I'm not a Spanish speaker, but that comes to mind first when I read see the word frio.

I'm using the Frio Advanced now (albeit out of necessity)...they really should have included a Y-cable for the PWM fans, one of which buzzes, but that aside it's not bad for a seemingly midrange HSF. It's actually fairly quiet apart from the buzz--this is admittedly with one fan at near 2000RPM and the other at 1100 or so due to the PWM cable issue--or at least dramatically quieter than my twitchy H100 water cooler is/was.

The advanced is kind of a bastard child of the Frio line. It's there but they never really promoted it. The Frio OCK is an awesome cooler, but with the fans on high it gets kind of loud. The Frio Extreme is huge and requires low profile ram, but the PMW fans are nice and quiet
