where do yall get the carbon bar stock for the base, cus i would love to get my hands on some of that to mill up :DQuote:

a small question to the OCZ guys
what is the expected height of this cooler ?
i still have crossed fingers.
this is a really old thread, is their news on this cooler?
check belowQuote:

Simply put, if carbon was not superior we would use copper since it's allot easier to get.Quote:

I can't wait for more information...if it's better than current high end air solutions I'll definately get this for my next upgrade....
Any news on this cooler lately?
as always when OCZ show prototypes of something u should know that it will be a long time before it reaching the market ( remember the phase cooling unit )
so if no new news about this cooler come out till IFX-14 is out, i will buy it
Yeah...I'd like to see this out in time for Barcelona or the Phenom processors...but considering their track record with the Cryo-Z...I'm not sure they can deliver on time (very little faith here).Might be spending my money else where, even though I do believe OCZ makes some quality parts. :shrug:
So what happened to this cooler or was it just a sick joke????
Whats wrong with a company showing a prototype idea and sharing it with the community? Meh!
Oh wow .. two years ago now
guess it wasn't worth producing :shrug:
maybe a thin layer of carbon .... attached behind the heat pipes or something
however ... with this carbon ... we can say goodbye to the block lapping ... i recall the carbon is not as resilient unlike copper
but if they would come out the carbon thermalpaste ... then it's something to look at
From all that i've read OCZ did intend to release this thing, I just think they failed and failed big.Quote:

A pity, but seems you were right.Quote:

CARBON
Specific heat (25 °C) 8.517(graphite) J·mol−1·K−1
Thermal Conductivity (300 K) 119-165 (graphite)
COPPER
Specific Heat : (25 °C) 24.440 J·mol−1·K−1
Thermal Conductivity: (300 K) 401 W·m−1·K−1
FYI, 900-2300 (diamond) W·m−1·K−1
diamond will have better thermal conductivity than copper.
so making carbon heatsink is simply not practical unless they found a really good combination of carbon, close to the perfect structure of diamond....at a cheap price.
you necro'd this thread just to ask if it was released?:mad:
Issue! How *dare* he do thatQuote:
