Why aren't there hybrid air/water coolers for CPUs?

Imagine something like a hyper 212, but theres also a pump inside of it, that routes thru the 212, then to another radiator like normal.

as seen it exists. but would generally be pointless to engineer and produce. plus its ugly af

like this?

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

Those kinds of coolers exist on GPUs because there are more things to actually cool, while a CPU is really just the IHS. Having VRM heatsinks and an AIO water cooler is technically hybrid cpu cooling the same way that GPU hybrid cooling is.

Those EVGA Hybrid cards, there really isnt much in there besides the AIO on the gpu die and then some heatsinks over the VRM's and the metal plate over the memory modules, that blower fan is only cooling the plate and vrm, the gpu die is entirely cooled by the AIO.

there's been attempts in many forms, but all of them have proven surprisingly unsuccessful.

well, I mean, technically water coolers are still air coolers, the heatsink and fans are just moved away from the CPU.

And instead of laws of physics/matter phase changes transferring heat from its source to fins there's water/liquid coolant circulated by pump.

It's a shame about it's performance, it looks awesome. 

Its to be expected.

Heatsinks are just the imbodyment of Physics.

Conducting heat, transfering heat and dissipating heat. And in some cases the Airflow as well. That's what its all about.
