4-in-1 Motherboard Cooling :D

[EnJoY]

Thanks guys! This is an ES, some parts didn't come out as i wanted so need to change for next sample. As it is ES, I'm trying Aluminum with copper base first. The reason why the walls are not taller is due to the CPU HSF... though Saaya gave me a great idea to extend the walls seperately!

Make any piece that makes contact with water either copper or brass. Aluminum will only cause problems. Awesome concept though!

[naokaji]

me (and most others) would prefer the nb pot to be copper.
but, in general its a really great idea and far better than the heatpipe lollocoaster crap certain companies *cough* anus *cough* use.

[Californian]

This kind of efford is very nice to see beind done.

You guys make practical stuff that the big companies will definitely mimic

[LardArse]

ok copper i bear that in mind! I think it's worth the few dollars extra for copper anyhows

[T_M]

Would removal of cooling assembly to insulate NB void warranty?

[Solarfall]

im loving the concept.. and yes i probably would buy one

[LardArse]

I dont think so, whoevers gonna be doing this will be smacking cold onto the cpu as well, so he/she'gonna be doing some insulation anyways...

I thought the 'lollercoaster' heatpipes were MSI? Asus has the 'pimp my mobo' pipes.

Oh yeah... on topic. I really like this ES. It gives a lot of great options. It's like choosing the difficulty level in Wolfenstein 3D. Passive is like "Can I play?" and ln2 is like "Death Incarnate". Very nice!

wooooooooot

shopping list is growing... any chance that cooler will be on a decent mainboard that will be released in q1 to go with Q9450?

@proetheusCon, yep, your right, msi is the lollocoaster company, but, asus is no better if it comes to weird cooling even if they dont give it lollocoaster shape...

Question................what board or boards will this work on?

[T_M]

peter, without the heatpipes the heatsinks would still be sufficient to cool a passive system right?

[Prodigys]

LardArse: Hmmm whats are inside the heatpipes on this cooler? are its same stuff like in the Big Typhoon LN2/DI will make them to not work(the gas will not move or something) . I´m almost toasted my Opty 146 becuse of it....used -20c air on the Big Typhoon and the temp on the core was going up fast to +90c->



Sry for may bad english.

Exactly what i thought to ...
But they say it isnt so i believe it .

but it may lose out in temps man, once it loses people freak out...
i only have one sample if i had more id snip the heatpipes to see what the temp diff is

nice idea, but i see 2 problems:

change the barbs to g1/4" (they look like 1/8")
use copper for the nb part

use EK barbs

[Boogerlad]

i had this idea a couple months ago, but this looks a lot more functional than my idea. plus, i didn't have the materials to try this.

true but at LN2 temps the cold will conduct along the heatpipe wall anyway regardless of the wicking material inside so it may not be a total loss

Agreed. Copper or Brass for all us watercoolers.

Likewise I'm loving the idea. Do the heatpipes actually contain anything? There was that investigation by some website a while ago that chopped some up and found nothing inside them...If they're just metal pipes, they'll conduct the cold and chill the SB and MOSFETS, and then still work afterwards.

[iddqd]

It's great. It's a much better cooling solution than what 100% of motherboards currently sport. But y'know what? You can get away with terrible cooling for chipsets. Actually, chipsets have been getting colder lately (although power regulation has been getting hotter). I guess you can't have it all.

[Morais]

well done shaminó(and foxconn), looks very interesting

[kuhla]

That has to be the best heatpipe style chipset cooling I have ever seen.

[Aerou]

a very nice piece of work, inventive!
as advised, copper is mandatory for proper watercooling ... it would be nice

[Nosfer@tu]

We are REALLY seing some mind braking designing here

I love the way we all save money because it has air, Water and more in 1

My Big Typhoon most have something in the heat pipes becuse the cpu cant get hotter if i add some -20c air on the cooler..But the -20c did make my cpu very very hot after sometime.

[Spawne32]

thats a pretty wicked setup, benchzowner would love the option for the Ln2

I applaud you for actually making a functional heatpipe assembly. Top notch stuff and I hope this could possibly become a future trend if cost isn't too expensive.
