In all honesty, I would love to have couple of sets of these my motherboard testbench. Changing blocks gets to be a PITA.The only use I see for this is somebody that does a ton of cpu swapping - ie buy 10 die to find the 'golden' overclocker with this you can swap them quickly for testing purposes. Otherwise, even if you're swapping cpus once a month, taking 10 minutes to swap it with the back plate doesn't matter much.
Neat product but miniscule market (imo).
Did any of you notice in the video posted with the bricks being piled on that they were hollow?

Um.. You do realize that he wasn't actually showing a test with those bricks. He was demonstrating how much force is involved using common (only slightly more hollow than standard U.S. bricks, that are not solid either) heavy items. The fact that they were hollow and not touching the chip is otterly irrelevant to the demonstration.

Also, if your tubing is introducing so much lateral forces to your water block to be able to break the CPU mount... The problem isn't with the mount, It's with the build. If you can't heat-form your tubing to not be yanking around on your socket mount, they buy some elbows (Yeah, they'll add a little flow resistance but not enough to make any difference) and run it that way.
Kyle, get one and test it out. then the circle of trust will be complete!! lol
What wattage is the block rated at? I guess you don't know that for sure right now, but what are you shooting for?If that will be an option I will be happy to send one for testing.
At the moment I'm preparing working prototype for thermal testing for skylike 6700k to confirm performance.
I'll admit I was wrong when I was watching it. I thought he was making some point about the the piece he was showing being able to handle that kind of downward force so the empty space in the brick just really set off some alarms in my head.Um..

12 seconds not including the time it takes to delid the CPU.
That aside, I love how clean it is without retention hardware around the block.
Not necessarily, it just has to have enough clearance around the die. They might need to use some kind of thin thermal foil to make up for the different die heights, and if you look closely in the video it appears to do that already.

First time?? Really why?
If a GURU from the forum like this will give positive feedback, I'll get free advertisment? Who wouldn't want that??
Am I missing something??
"Eating crow is an American colloquial idiom,[1] meaning humiliation by admitting wrongness or having been proven wrong after taking a strong position. "
taken from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eating_crow
Good luck
Thank You for all your input. This forum exceeded all my expectations by far. Also, fact that so many people want to discuss this idea only confirms that I could possibly succeed
I still don't see the benefit for those that change CPU's frequently, since it has to be de-lidded in order for this cooler to work, and there may be 10 people in the world with a pile of de-lidded CPU's lying around that they need to switch between.
Arek, You had mentioned that if Kyle desired, you may be able to send him a waterblock for testing.
I was saying that, if you did send him a block or two, it would not be the first time for a company to do this. Yes, it is a good idea.
As you mentioned, it can be good for many reasons.
As for "eating crow", I was saying that I may have to eat some crow for being critical of your design, before we have had a chance to test it.
The definition from wikipedia says "humiliation by admitting wrongness". I don't think admitting I am wrong is humiliating. I think that refusing to admit I am wrong, is more humiliating.
about sending - sorry misunderstood you
"eating crow" - this expression was totally new for me , I didn't apply any form of humiliation. I do apologize.
admitting being wrong requires a bigger man
Let me know when you are ready to get one over.If that will be an option I will be happy to send one for testing.
