A prototype was shown at CEBIT, the big computer show in Germany taking place now. No one has seen this except the OCZ engineers before this.

So where's the piece of paper to sign up as a "OCZ Engineer"? j/k

Can you tell that I'm VERY interested in this?

If it can really dissipate 300 watts at decent temps (50 celsius with a 25 celsius ambient) then I am sure people will jump all over it. If it only offers a slight performance increase over the current metal monsters then I expect it to sell worse than the PS3. 3 months is too long to wate, somebody steal an ES

**dinos22** · 03-22-2007, 04:21 PM

wonder if this same sort of material can be used in water cooling as well

anyways sounds intriguing >> let's wait a couple of months and see what happens

lol stop using your pencil then, IT HAS CARBON

OMFG WE'RE GONNA DIE CUZ PENCILS ARE CAUSING GLOBAL WARMING!

Solid carbon is completely different from carbon dioxide

. Please tell me you knew this.

Yea duh I knew it, I was poking fun at s1rrah

Okay good I was getting worried for humanity.

**perkam** · 03-22-2007, 05:18 PM

We'll have to wait for performance review to judge whether the price/materials are satisfactory.

thanks for poking fun at me! believe me, it's seriously appreciated!

and, like you, in the spirit of fun for all ... i was poking fun at the whole global warming craze.

**adamsleath** · 04-25-2007, 04:10 PM

...so is this thing any closer to coming out retail?

...and i suppose the answer is 'yes', but when, how much and how cool?

**RyderOCZ** · 04-25-2007, 04:15 PM

Closer yes, prototype available for temp testing?... Not yet

**adamsleath** · 04-25-2007, 04:17 PM

..mmm crossing fingers that with stated 300w dissipation this thing might actually be capable of keeping most cpu's that much closer to ambient temperature...? depends muchly on thermal transfer at the base obviously.

OCZ stated 400W in fact... so I can't wait to see what it is in fact

**One_Hertz** · 04-25-2007, 05:00 PM

helooo peltiers on air!

**Okda** · 04-25-2007, 05:01 PM

yes this cooler i think will be the link between extreme air cooling and watercooling , or at least this is what i hope

**Anavel0** · 04-25-2007, 05:30 PM

Man almost forgot about this cooler with all the buzz around the new Thermalright Ultra-120 Xtreme and IFX-14. Anymore news on the cooler? I'm still really interested in it's design.

**death metal** · 04-25-2007, 05:49 PM

I am wating for far tooooooo long

....

I'll believe it when I see some insane voltages pumped into a heavily overclocked quad core chip.

**m0da** · 04-29-2007, 07:34 PM

400w heat dissipation :O
ON AIR?? :OOO
Very nice job if it pulls through @ OCZ!

**Revv23** · 04-29-2007, 07:56 PM

i feel like this was just a gimmick to get ocz in headlines for cebit...

ill be first in line if it is really a top performer tho.

No gimmicks. We only showed a mock-up at cebit and never stated a release date. Progress is being made, so hang tight!

I can't say much more at this time.

**Nanometer** · 04-29-2007, 10:42 PM

Is that your way of saying it's a decent performer? lol
