They still spin.

It looks cool, but the fact that there's no numbers/benchmark makes me kinda skeptical

[Nup]

Does look pretty snazzy, wonder what i preforms like. 

Thanks for sharing!

And they use air to transfer heat to the fins. That's what we were trying to avoid for the longest time.

downside:

 

you have 100+ grams of metel spinning at 500+ RPM.

 

if your finger touches the side of it, it WILL cut or do even more damage. I see this being a small form factor pc part that maybe is protected by a sheild. I dont see this coming to the pc building platform

[bcredeur97]

This looks really cool. I would only buy it to replace a stock cooler though in like an HTPC or mITX build where space is everything.

 

or it would even be cool to see this become the new stock cooler for Intel/AMD.

 

 

I dont think its going to be an amazing breakthrough in cooling performance though.

 

plus this will take off fingers or at least shave skin off if touched.

Those things are so dangerous, image if one of the blades were to fail, that would fuck shit up.

[OhhTee]

I mean it would still work to an extent, it's still an active heatsink as long as you have some airflow through your case. Maybe if they use a material with a higher thermal conductivity.

[Toddwjp]

why did they have so much ram in the test system?

This is a video of an engineering experiment we conducted cooling a computer by completely submerging it in liquid. This liquid submersion cooling system is NOT using mineral oil, or any type of oil cooling. This experiment was done using a chemical made by 3M called Novec™ 7000. It has a low boiling point, and leaves no residue or any trace whatsoever behind on the motherboard. The board was equipped with an i3 processor, running at 100% load. 

 

this is much better =)

how do i react to this

 

 

I react with this, its main rival, if it can stomp the 2x then it will get noticed,in case you didnt know the cnps2x is the best small cooler, bar none, it beat noctuas attempt and thats all i need to say.

 

Also its louder than the 2x, not a "fan" of that

The impeller is inside the cage of fins. It's near impossible to touch the rotating portion.

and what ever happen to this

3000 rpm it says in the video?! Sounds kinda dangerous if not mounted correctly and it is not perfectly balanced. And 35db so a big no no from me.

Not bad at all! Until you see the price tag for a gallon ~$95 U.S. 

 

Still I actually do like the idea. Now Just run a low-level Pelletier cooler on the condensing block and you could have some real fun!

[Octagoncow]

Neat but I doubt this will end up going anywhere. As others have also said, it seems a little dangerous (although maybe only around stupid people).

[SirSquid]

This is pretty cool. Jokes aside using this in an extremely small form factor systems like the gigabyte bricks might actually help it.

[MeltingPoint]

This thing looks like a rip-off of the Sandia cooler. I was really excited about the sandia but alas, it never went intonproduction

[Wildosvt]

Works alot like a squirrel cage commonly found in a home furnace. They do push alot of air, But are quite noisy in most cases.

Cool, but wondering about the durability of the fluid. How long until you need to change?

3000rpm actually gonna stress the Motherboard and CPU with it's weight

[Jasmin]

It loooks so similiar to the 3rd party cpu coolers from the early 2000s (the ones with entire heatsink made of cooper), before a tower design hit the market and absolutely obliterated them in terms of performance.

If it really performs that good (and i have my doubts considering how flat it is, aka theres a high chance that it will use its own exhausted, hot air, rather than sucking in new one on any MB that has a lot of elements placed around cpu - aka almost any) i still am quite afraid of the noise 100% metal, spinning fan can produce (in terms of vibration in an enclosure, unlike the open test bench from the videos)...

We will see, it may be just intended for low power small enclosures (like xbox that is already interested in it). With some form of air tunnel. Maybe even for laptops (again afraid of vibrations)

[Marvzl1357]

Isn't this a smaller version of the Sandia Cooler? Look it up, Sandia's been trying to get their design up to scratch for quite a while now.

[Logan2012]

So it's a turbo mounted to a copper base.
