Anyone else seen this?

Those look intersting. I don't know how efficient they are though. It doesn't look like it has actual internal water passage close to the cpu core. Maybe someone can experiment for us :D
 
Haha, I hope this is a joke:
All refrigerant grade... counter clockwise wound for Northern Hemispere... contact me if you need clockwise wound(see my website:~)...

:D
In any case, that's not a very good design from a performance point of view... : It looks pretty cool, on the other hand, but that's not enough to get me to buy one.
 
Woudn't the copper conduct the heat up from the base block up into the coils? I dunno, I think it is the 'on a shoe string' idea that has me hooked :D
 
Tere is a nice thread on Procooling about this block. John Fettig did a review on one sometime ago. I believe a couple other folks will soon be doing a review also, maybe Jaydee, but can't remember off the top of my head.

I do give the guy props for going ahead with his own design, and selling them...
 
also, wouldnt all that extra copper at the heatsink side of things, as it heats up, make it harder to cool the cpu if it does get hot? To my simple logic, it seems that we want the water itself to conduct all the heat away from the cpu to a large conductive surface (radiator), and let the fans take care of it there. By keeping it at the cpu area, it seems to me there is more surface area to cool with the water.
 
I just spend ~15 minutes looking for said article on Procooling, but they seem to hava hidden it well . . . any help? :(.

EDIT
I was thinking that by conducting the heat up and around those copper loops that the water would then be able to absorb the heat while keeping a quite high flow rate. Those loops of tubing would have a total surface are higher than a normal water block and would keep the flow going without alot of 90 degree stoppers and the like . . . I think.

EDIT EDIT
Wow, I am waaay to hapless when searching . . .
 
Hmm, so it is pretty good, but not on the level of a Cathar - then again what is ??

Maybe a TT Bigwater w/liquid nitrogen and an Eheim 1250....nah, still not as good :cool:
