lol everything's getting so big

but good concept for this cooler

wtf how many pipes that thing has... it should perform pretty nice

somehow i have the feeling that this isnt a cheep solution.
a Heatpipe CPU cooler and a CPU watercooling set.

Besides that i dont think the heatpipe thing adds alot to the performence compaired to a normal water cooling set.

somehow does look sexy in a wierd kinda way

my question is the water pass throug the pipes in the "air cooling" or just in the base?

after rechecking the pics in the link, and reading the ICY, COOL, WARM in the pics its no heatpipe cooler on the CPU block but a 2nd rad.

Leviathan is rite :)

that does make it even more expensive then i thought.
i think buying a watercooling set for CPU with a 240mm rad is cheaper.

my initial reaction is: PFFFFT!

I think that its a water block with heatpipes running through the inside of the block, to sort of combine water and air cooling. That way the water heat will be transferred to a radiator and the heatsink via heatpipes and a pump. I have a feeling this solution will perform VERY well.
