Check out the prototype Thermosiphon cooler

[Quartz]

Linus Tech Tips has a preview video:

In Europe it's going to be distributed by CaseKing who, of course, own OCUK. The cooler in the video looks like it has 80mm or 92mm fans. I'm guessing that to slim the cooler they will need to increase the height and use 120mm fans.

Cool.

I'd rather have 140mm cooler/fans.

Just watched the video for this before seeing this thread.

Very impressive, especially if they can maintain performance while cutting the size down to a third as claimed.

 

[b00merang69]

Fans look at least 120mm to me (comparing to other fans in video).

Edit: confirmed 120mm in the link in post #2 above.

Not sure why he used a N14U over a N15/15S as rest of cooler were all massive bar the Noctua.

Given the info here, "gravity driven two phase cooling", "cpu heat boils liquid and hot vapor rises"

will it work as well when most PC's are side on?

Yes, that's the clever thing about it. It's been designed in such a way that it works sideways. It's supposedly been designed for performance and to shed a lot of heat, so the fans could be loud (they were on the prototype), and it's really only useful if you're overclocking something high end and need to dissipate the kind of heat that comes from 350+ watts.

I hope it starts off something new for CPU cooling.

Going to be extremely tight packed fins If they cram in same surface area to third of the size.
Might not do that well with low speed fans.

If its loud you would wonder why anyone would bother, unless the cooling is supremely good.

Apparently the focus is purely on performance, so I'm guessing the thing will sound like a jet engine even when finished. That's fine given the intended purposes though, and I wouldn't be surprised if we saw a lower performance but quieter 'consumer' version of the product down the line.

High reliability + high performance cooling for high end workstations and similar, cooling 36 + thread processors while they run at full pelt. Noise is a lesser consideration with a product like this.

It is. It's beating massive triple-rad water coolers. It's all in the Linus video where he plays with the prototype. He even mentioned they could do a copper version with more performance and make it quieter. It's all about increasing cooling efficiency in order to deal with 400/500/600 watt output.

 

[chroniclard]

Ah, I skimmed the video as no sound at work.

Looks pretty interesting anyway.

not really worth worth the space and noise. The noctua is cheaper, smaller, quieter and only 4 or so degrees hotter.

For the same heat dissipation?

 

[b00merang69]

It will be smaller if you watch and listen to the review and no doubt if they do not you could swap the fans, it did not sound too loud for deltas.

You mean the Noctua U14S was hotter not cooler but it was not a D15/D15S so I do not even count that result as fair.

yeah I ment hotter doh - They may well be trying to make it smaller but they haven't yet and that isn't what was shown. When the smaller version is made and compared to other coolers then we can talk about it. The delta fans were not the 4000rpm monsters than you associate with the name delta.

Waiting for next Gen of the Product. most likely go 4 chambers and single 140mm heatsink design . slightly thicker . Dual Noctual/Silent wing 140's on it and boom!

one shown above (Proto) and production version

as above this this could be easily cut down for single 140mm fan or dual for push pull and keep the same height but drop 100mm in length

chamber design, moving from 2-3 , again easily get 4/5 in there

lastly to improve on the fin design which has already been increase one, by using same design on Water rads instead of solely on flat plates above. Need better static fans but surface area increase by 50-10% depending on Fin Per Inch

Maybe I'm missunderstanding what you posted, but I don't think they could 'cut down' finpack housing to fit 140mm fans because it's made for smaller 120mm fans.

Where is that last image from? Could you give us a link?
