Wow!! Look famiar? Hey Bei Fei!

Wow! Anyone recognize this from about 2 years ago from Bei Fei?

Talk about stealing someone's idea. :mad:

poke through the pics, they went a whole step further. ;)

Regardless, how about we give credit where credit is due. No one thought of doing this until Bei Fei and Naekuh came up with this almost two years ago.

Old news, this was posted some time ago :) Whether or not it is a partial knockoff, it's still pretty cool. I will probably be picking up a couple for my main rig since it uses two pumps in serial.

And MS stole the GUI from Apple who stole it from Xerox...I hear you but this is hardly anything new and not just to the tech industry. And patents can only make so much difference even if feasible to obtain.

Well I am not familiar to the Bei Fei heatsink, I must say I do like the mounting. It looks great w/o the plastic mounts.

True, but I think I may have been mounting fans on the bottom of my DDC's before they came out with their sink.

Oh yeah, I already have one of these on it's way from P-PCs. :D

WL - Would it suffice to prevent overheating if I cut out some stripes with dremel and have fans underneath?

Loads of that is discussed here

Yeah, that's where I took the idea from, just wanted to check with WL as he seems know these pumps very well and had couple without issues.

There are many pumps that have optional, or integral heatsinks.

Pretty old idea. I bet about as old as pumps themselves.

I don't do it to prevent over heating as I really don't think that's the problem when they go bad. I think it's just a bad PCB or component on the PCB.

Some of the pics I've seen however, lead me to believe that some ppl forget the O-Ring when reassembling (it's not hard to do, I've almost done it myself a couple times recently) and when water does finally get to the bottom and blows the pump, they realize the mistake they made and are for some reason too embarrassed to admit it and blame the pump.

nice can you show us some pics when you get it

Thanks. Mental note added:)

It's pretty logical to want to decrease the heat dump of your pump. A cooler pump = cooler loop, and increase pump life.

Yea ive got a fan under my pumps because i don't think the koolance's will fit in the XSPC dual ddc res

BAH!!! I forgot to add that the reason I use the fan (and now the Koolance heatsink) is to try and remove the heat using alternative methods in an effort to reduce heat dump into the loop from the pump. It's not a lot of heat dumped into the loop but every little bit helps in my book. ;)

That looks like a really nice sink. It is nice that the sink replaces the plastic housing so it actually sinks with the PCB board. I may have to look at getting a couple for my MCP355s. I would assume they would fit.

Curios. How much will a plastic pump housing transfer heat through the plastic to the metal HS? I know the middle bottom of the pump bottom gets hot by experiance, but how warm does the plastic get? I felt it really didn't have a lot of heat. Seems the heat stays in the board and the coils more due to the plastic housing.

I'm asking because I don't see it making a lot of difference. So, any imperical info from you old time gurus?

Edit: So it's a circuit baord HS eh? Bottom of the pump is removed? Hmmm, neat idea.

lulz.. i got my units. Hey its for DDC's you had to expect me getting a few.

Anyhow u use a TIm pad on that green pcb and then you put the anodized alu sink over.

But i couldnt use this on DB.
He is probably the only person on this forum minus vendors who has more ddc's in his closet then i do.
