You really think having something vibrate on top of a CPU costing $100's is really a good idea, how many people would actually risk it? Yet another useless product from aquacomputer, I mean how much c**p are you guys going to come up with. Iam sorry but I fail to see what you guys are trying to achieve with this, patent... for what... a pump stuck to a piece of copper/aluminium... no thanks.
Wow and I thought I was mean to the Aquacomputer lemmings around herekleox64 said:One word, reliability.

BioPort said:get a life.
the noise doesnt bother me so much as the fact that aquacomputer continues to use aluminum in conjunction with copper. what is it going to take to get AC to switch to delrin or something? dont get me wrong, i love my ac setup, but using aluminum on watercooling components is so 10 years ago.
Arcygenical said:I don't think the Op's statement of "performance over noise" here in North America is all that correct... I mean, sure a bit more noise is acceptable for a huge increase in performance, but from what I gather, most people around here WC for the silence! As to what level of audibility is acceptable? Well, for me it's 2 7v aluminum fans... Pretty quiet.

"The cooling capacity beats all available waterblocks with a passive design."
kleox64 said:talk about obssesion.
It damn well better perform better. You've got an impeller spinning water around right against the copper base. There's no way to beat that without some serious pressure in a traditional block.Top Nurse said:You all seem to have missed the key point here: "The cooling capacity beats all available waterblocks with a passive design." And imagine that all being done with a low flow system.
More like compulsive spending.theseeker said:For those of us that like AC, I believe the would be passion.
Top Nurse said:I see all the AquaTrolls are out in force today.
topcat989 said:thing is, i don't really see it that way. I think high flow systems are great, and all the power to those who use them. It's just that trashing people the products they use becuase it doesn't fit your philisophy of what WC should, is just plain fucking retarded.
as the AC trolls prove themselves to be, time and again. Disaggreing about a particular product effecientcy with constructive critisism is one thing, calling people who use it "compulsive spenders" and dissallusioned and all the other names use, is, as said befor, kinda pointless waste of time.
edit: yes i know my spelling's atrocious today
Zamt said:That's kind of cool. You could have a 1x120 rad mounted on your rear 120mm fan hole, throw in a t-line and have a quite small setup, maybe even using well under two feet of hose, so long as you are quick pouring into the t-line when filling. Heck, attach a 120mm rad on top of it with some sort of filling port and you would have a self contained watercooling solution that isn't any bigger than some of the big air coolers.

Trashing people or companies (TN, eventhough I know your comments are all in jest they are not needed) because you dont agree with how they run their business or the type of products they make is unacceptable. I would like to point out that there has only been ONE person trolling the thread...so all the AC Fans whining...well half the thread was you guys complaining about one person and categorizing an entire group by that person.
As for the performance claims, well they are just that claims. Until I see some real, scientific testing I am going to reserve judgement. I dont trust Swiftech's performance numbers (anymore) and I wont trust the completely unbacked up performance claims of any other company.
I am curious if the Coolermaster and Intel designs actually infringe upon the AC patent. The way I see it, you shouldn't be able to hold a patent for sticking a pump on top of a waterblock. That would be like someone claiming to hold the patent for having a fan on top of a heatsink. However, from the sounds of the design AC could hold the patent on having the pump swish the water around the base plate of the block directly. If the Coolermaster and Intel designs are simply a traditional waterblock, with the pump contained on top of it, then I dont see a case for copyright infringement. Then again, I am not a lawyer so I dont know how far their patent extends.
not likely. US courts don't have much respect for patents filed in other nations, by companies based in other nations. see the case of RIM vs. NTP.Top Nurse said:Sounds to me like AC is going to be cleaning up in the patent infringement business.
If this could be as loud as an Aquastream, it would be perfect!Shoggy said:However, a soundless operation have not been achieved yet.
Just the question: how many audibility is acceptable?
I'm also very interested to hear this from the american side because here it seems that performance goes over noise.

i'm reading $612.5 million but whatever..........i'm biased, but i'm seening a canadian company getting hosed by US circuit courts in a case related to patents filed first, by a canadian company. (no, i don't work for RIM, but they are right next door and contribute a LOT of money to the university)R1ckCa1n said:See a $621,000,000.00 judgement.
All some of us care about is how cool it looks, without being too anal.EnJoY120 said:I have a couple questions...
1. What is the baseplate design of the block like?
2. What is the flow, pressure, and power consumption of the pump?
3. How is the flow chamber designed (how does the water flow internally)?
Without knowing the answer to these three questions, none of us can make a single judgement or statement about it's performance, for or lack there-of.

Bbq said:Hmmm... So If I am hearing this right, it's a pump built into a waterblock? Neat.
I also agree that the aquatrolls are in full force....Instead of speaking out of your ass, how about speaking from experience?
