On the basic thermodynamic, carbon foam has thermal conductivity of 1700-2000 W/mK which is 5x greater than copper 400W/mK. If they use carbon foam, technically it transfers heat faster than copper. However, the question is how fast heat transfer coefficient draws out of the cooler using silent fan + copper& water cool? Another thing: by looking on the picture, not sure what they mean about “carbon core”. Is it just a thin sheet of carbon foam attached to copper, and then its thermal diffusivity won’t be effective. But if it’s the whole core of carbon foam (except the copper fin for water cool) then it may help. Keep in mind that carbon foam is not cheap.
