Hopeless

oh ok, I get your point Where as for the heat pipes well they are LHP (or loop heat pipes) a technology that cooler master and other companies are trying to develop, and they can be flexible. It works like a water loop but it's vapor --> radiator --> liquid loop

I believe they have a demo tower where they cool an i7 5960X and a gtx1080 fanless (admittedly with a huge *ss radiator) i7 goes to 72°c under 100% load so maybe not oc grade cooling with that setup but with fanless, pump less. So maybe with fans...

Because Noctua's products (or corsair or else) ain't in the "proprietary technology" stuff?

http://www.calyos-tm.com/calytronics/ They have a past of spatial industry with SABCA, now part of the Dassault group. The technology ain't just wind, they cool the french subway IGBT engine transistor with it. They create the product in belgium because of some technology secrets. Now they're going main stream, would be cool to see linus playing with that.
