[Computex 2010]Thermalright new heatsinks

[mindfury]

14cm fan,fit in 12cm mounting hole

[dejanbinladen]

what the hell :S

[p2501]

Let me guess, it's called Chaos.

[kromosto]

cooling performance doesnt matter i wont put something like that in my case. also it doesnt look it is easily mountable

[Final8ty]

Skyscraper City.

[Nickel020]

That thing is obviously designed for passive operation, and might even get the folks at SPCR excited, they'll definitely be more excited than the OC crowd here at XS...

The should call it Medusa imho, but Chaos also fits nicely^^

[p2501]

Might be interesting still, fanless heatsink for i7 relying only on case airflow?!

[game_matter]

Oh hell, how to mount a fan onto it?

[gatecrasherlok]

I was excited to see what Thermaltake could bring to the computex but looking at those pics I'm less than impressed.

Looks like someone took a TRUE and divided by zero...

[Helloworld_98]

I like the first one and the single slot GPU one, would like some more pics of that please

So now Thermalright is copying Thermaltake? Ouch.

[Mats]

I'm not surprised about that first one, it's basically the same idea as the Spitfire, which seems to have great cooling performance even with little or no direct air flow.

It's not single slot, and it's not new.

it seems they just stopped trying. all i see are products that are under-engineered and over-priced.

[kaktus1907]

First one reminds me Medusa's hairs..

I wouldn't say that they stopped trying, I think they're on to something with many small heatsinks in the first pics, Spitfire showed that this design is very efficient.
But yeah the first one must be a prototype, the base looks horrible.
I don't see any prices so I don't know where you got that from?

Actually, I've seen that concept (and Thermaltake's too) for many years, at least as long ago as last year, and possibly the year before that.

My first thoughts on seeing the first pic was "That's got to be the ugliest thing I've ever seen".. BUT it might be effective with all that surface area..
Just where and how to get a fan attached?

may be they are building this for fanless use (a good case with good airflow needed i think), or a fan bracket like zalman did with cnps 6500 (i still use that fan bracket very useful).

dont confuse efficient with horribly expensive. i remember the heatsink swiftech made that was a bunch of aluminum pins scattered in pattern that made it look "fluffy". this one with each tower having to be put together must take alot more time and effort than just a big tower with twice the surface area

o and how does air go through the fins, they are facing sideways, so is this expected to work only for towers that have the motherboard on its side, and a powerful top exhaust fan?

[Etihtsarom]

Thats the thing Dave, no fans.

Not a fan( no pun intended) of passive HS's.. Tome you bring in air, and then take it out.. Anything else lets the heated air "sit" and build on itself.
Now that round one does look interesting.
Wonder if we can get a delta in there?

[hurleybird]

I'm more interested in the giant 'orb'-like cooler. Look at the size and depth of that radial fan! Certainly an intereting take on the cylindrical heatsink concept.

Wonder if we can get a delta in there?

Look closer, there is a giant radial fan that appears to run *the depth* (edit: on closer inspection more like 1/2 to 2/3 of the depth. You can see where the fan ends in the picture from the underside) of the heatsink. It looks like it would push a lot of air, and the radial nature means all of that air could moved can potentially carry A LOT of heat away. A delta probably wouldn't improve upon that monster that is in there now.

if that fan does run 1/2 of the depth, maybe it's possible to get a 2nd fan in there so that you're pushing air throughout the entire depth of the heatsink. That could be pretty awesome.
