First Custom loop Heatpipe Cooler

[Sacriledgy]

So basically, Cryorig recently announced that they'll be releasing custom loop heatpipe cooler in 2018. Personally i think its pretty crazy, but exciting at the same time! 

 

CRYORIG is proud to announce another major breakthrough in cooling innovation. Introducing the CRYORIG Adaptive Form ver. 4.1 cooling system! The Adaptive Form ver. 4.1 is the pinnacle of PC cooling and the world’s first custom loop heatpipe cooler. For the first time in human history endless customization air cooling options is finally here! 

 

Full story can be read on their website at

Apparently this is an elaborate prank by Cryorig for April Fool's joke.....And somehow i fell for it ?

Interesting... But Idk how practical this could be. I mean, it's air cooling, there's only so many designs that actually work well

[19_blackie_73]

holy smokes

[Damascus]

I'd give it a shot if its affordable

 

[Technomancer__]

i will do this with that very strong fan linus made a video about recently (to make it spin like a windmill) LOL

[Onigoroshi]

It's insane and not that aesthetic, I think... I would like to see it working, though

Yeah that's actually a good point, there is so many poor performing Air cooler because of bad design

I'm actually surprised that they include that windmill looking design ?

Users can twist and shape the extremely delicate and prone to rupture heatpipes using our safe* heatpipe modification tools to meet the shape they need. But please note any damage to the heatpipes due to the use of our safe heatpipe modification tool is not covered by warranty. 

The fact that they don't cover damage caused by their own tool... That's not cool.(get it? cool? Cooling? ... I'll see myself out)

But then again, you just know there will be idiots out there who will fuck up so badly and blame it on the tool so I can understand where they are coming from.

Personally I'm more interested in this

Yeaaah, that's what comes to my mind the first time i saw this. If this could work, they could potentially be Calyos biggest rival

That's pretty cool, but, well, how are you going to support certain designs like that? If it stays on the board, it's going to rip out the motherboard by the screws.

I think thats their secret sauce 

 

Or probably make those pipes & fins really light

Imagine this on open air benches computers.

Over/Under on how long the first penis shaped one shows up after launch? I give it 48 hours.

Maybe with a 3 kilos massive backplate.

 

But yeah I have similar pragmatic concerns here: How are you going to bend this heat pipes? Do they expect consumers to run heaters hot enough to cause third degree burns in their homes/shops? If it doesn't takes that much effort to bend them how are we going to ensure we 1) Don't kink it too much 2) Don't eventually snap it the fuck off.

 

Also how much are these pipes? How many do we need to make sure we get those awesome looking, perfect bends that are precisely done and also matching one another? Are they just gonna do pre-bend this shit? Only for a handful of cases and motherboard configurations then?

 

See this is like the type of idea that looks great in paper and makes an awesome kickstart page but isn't really commercially feasible a.k.a. "A pizza place where you make your own pie!"

 

Edit: Seemingly even they thought of the same concerns:

Sorry Cryorig but you can't say safe* (*safety is actually not guaranteed if you're a fucking moron) Also if something is extremely delicate then also means it's extremely easy to get wrong: I don't think I should waste money of 3 miles of fucking pipes until I finally get this extremely delicate pipes to bend to the exact design and angles that I need.
