Pumpless liquid cooling!

[atrash]

This also got me thinking, all that evaporation/bubbling process inside, wouldn't it be making quite a bit of a noise? And unsturdy case will make it even worse.. Also you can only mount the radiator in certain orientation for the liquid to properly circulate in the loop.

cool... ...will be nice to see some benchmarks how well it cools...

It'snot very good. I saw it being on par with the Intel stock cooler. But it's great if you want a completely silent build.

[Accursed Entity]

I think I posted this before   Yeah it's an interesting cooling system, that's what got me curious.

 

Here: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/161981-tpu-silverstone-tundra-td04-pump-less-liquid-cpu-cooler/ There are some good explanations there.

Then again you'll still need to install a couple fans onto your radiator right? So it wouldn't be completely silent. I think aircooling with a decent tower heatsink and double 120mm low noise fans will give you similar heat dissipation, same noise levels, it will take up less space and be cheaper overall. Don't get me wrong, it's a really cool project, but in it's current form I don't really see any advantages.

No I don't think you need to use fans with this pump however I am not sure. I just know that it doesn't perform that well compared to other coolers. Plus this will no doubt be expensive but I guess if you are a silent freak you will pay too much for anything. Or you could just wear headphones and forget you have a blow dryer right next to you. Well thats what I do anyway.

ya i saw that its not very good and is not made keeping cooling in mind....

For a HTPC I would pay an obscene amount of money for complete silence.

Yea but if you had a film on with the speakers on a medium volume you wouldn't be able to here any system anyway. Unless you were running Prime95 in the background. You are only watching films so it's virtually in idle mode.

"The unit is filled not with water, but with a liquid with a very low evaporation point. As a result, it feels cool to the touch, yet the water keeps bubbling inside the loop, which looks quite magical."

Stupid explanation though but it's just not regular liquid at all it's made of explosives and the pricetag will be easily 200$+.

Technique is some sort of phase change, more details here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Explosion_welding

 

 

The temps are terrible, it's not made with cooling in mind.

It wouldn't sell for shit if the temps are terrible Captherm systems mp1120 was actually the first unit that came up with this kind of weird technique. 250$ pricetag >.>

Well, yes, it can be made better, but I was commenting on the product in specific rather than the methodology. 

 

It was either SIlverstone or Silverstone and someone else that had these types of phase coolers and the temps were seen to be comparable to a stock cooler at the benefit of more or less 0dB

[totjup5]

That's pretty cool, but I would want to see the performance of it before getting something like that. Also, it's kind of ugly.

SilverStone won't reveal what liquid the unit is filled with.

Plot Twist: It's filled with mercury.

Probably a bad idea to drink it then.

designed for low TDP chips

also such a design would REQUIRE top mounting of the rad in tower cases only

by weird technique you mean the same one used in every heatpipe ever made?

it d not any weird space liquid, it s either water in a vacuum (heatpipe) or alcool (or variation of it) the only requirement is that the boiling point is close to 60C and maybe it s not flamable.

the explosives are only used to weld the metal plates(just because they can). that way they can charge people more for the cpu cooler that uses regular heatpipes with a window on it.

I heard from a recent Tek Syndicate episode that these had the cooling power of an Intel Stock Cooler, yet these have a 200W TDP? What?
