ThermalRight Water Block XWB-01

[Turtle 1]

Ya for me the rad is the most interesting. So I thought I would discuss those. Now if they want to carry it to the next level . Its really very simple .
Install round fins with a flare that will seperate the fins so that you have airflow threw them . size the hole in the fins so they are tight against the tubes but still slide on easily. Now comes the best part. TO make your tubes and fins react together as 1 part for better heat transferr, get a small steal ball sized just .05 larger than the tube ID. force it into the tube . Now hook air hose to the tube end and force the ball threw the tubes with 125psi air pressure. Make sure to have safty in place at other end of tube so steal ball doesn't become a bullet. use a shut off valve at air nossel to control force .

When your done you will have a pretty efficiect finned rad. Even without airflow the effects will be very good and look cool also.
Just trying to help you guys out that find that rad intersting. So I gave away industry secrets big deal not a big secret either.

Do you think this could overtake the Storm as the single die performance leader? The cooling area looks pretty small to me, so I don't think it'll work too well on todays quad cores.

I wonder how it would work as a chipset block even though it's a cpu block. it looks like it could be used as one.

good question..

Nothing can really beat the Storm design when it comes to small, single die. It's extremely efficient and complex, and although micro channels as seen in the NeXXoS XP, MP05 Pro/LE, and now this block, come extremely close to the storm in testing, they aren't quite good enough to beat it, and they are usually even more restrictive.

However, for large/multiple dies, we know the Storm does not really compete well against other blocks with larger cooling patches. But what about a Storm with double or even triple it's current cooling base ( a la G7-G9?)? Or, how bout a micro channel block with a larger cooling patch than any of the previous micro channel blocks we've seen before, such as this offering from thermalright? I think it shows promise.

Before you can do that you need to smack Foxconn upside the head and tell them to get better machining tools for the IHS. And then get Intel/AMD to figure something out to get the thermal resistance between the IHS and die down.

And then have AMD/Intel reduce the IHS thickness.

Here is a good process for AMD/Intel to ensure a good mount.

1. Produce IHS with tighter tollerances (also make it thinner with thicker nickel plating)
2. Lap the IHS before nickel plating
2. Nickel plate (extra thick)
4. Re-lap the IHS (after mounting to processor)
5. dont laser engrave the IHS. (make the IHS with smaller dimmensions and put the laser etch on the edges of the substrate)

The webpage now says

"All copper block and lid for minimal oxidation effect and erosion "

so it is all copper.

Looks like it's due out here in the UK for £45.99

Surprised to see there's no link to the first review of this block in here.

Darn. Beat me to it.....

[NaeKuh]

i wonder how the flatness is on this block. Of if they bowed it like the TR120.

Guys remember this?

Id like to see someone use it for a chipset block
