New "CoolChip" Cooling technology

[SpurnOfHumanity]

Apparently "CoolChip" has developed a new way to cool your cpu...

I would like to see results of cooler after few months of usage when dust gets in between layers.

Isn't that the cooler from Sandia?

[legopc]

new? i think not i saw this a year ago already

that thing is going to be loud.

Fast spinning metal fan... Just what I always wanted to have spinning right next to me. That's not dangerous at all if it fails...

That's almost exactly like the Sandia cooler in the picture.

That's smart, instead of cooling the heatsink with a fan, the heatsink BECOMES the fan.

I like it, but it needs some LED's in it.

This has been around for ages. The 'prototype' which was never really showed off much.

I've been looking forward to this, but the implication that they invented it, rather than licensing it from Sandia National Labs pisses me off. Here's a

in June 2012.

Actually,that's one of the strong points of the "Sandia cooler". Because the blades are moving, they collect much less dust than stationary fins. This is basically due to the centrifugal force throwing the dust off.

Consider the amount of dust that accumulates on your fan blades vs. on non-moving parts of your computer. A bit on the leading edges, but nothing on the surfaces.

No, it's very quiet.

The fins are backward-pointing, so you can touch your finger against it with no damage. It's like touching the output side of a fan (gently pushes your finger aside) rather than the input (ouch!). There are videos on youtube of people demonstrating it.

one thing is dust on blades, other thing is dust between stationary and moving part...

Yeah I feel like dust would get between the two and throw off the almost touching ness of it
