WayTronX: OCZ HydroJet

[Spawne32]

That is sick looking, but im tired of hearing about all of this stuff in theory. Unless we can get our hands on somthing asap, this has already lost interest.

[MpG]

Don't think I want to know what that GPU unit is going to cost. Full cover waterblock, plus what looks very much like a Laing pump unit, plus the radiator assembly... bleh.

[Brian MP5T]

Very cool links thanks.

[MikalCarbine]

I'd love one of these, say goodbye to bulky watercooling setups

My main concern is the weight and the liftime of the pump, if it uses a pump..

As for noise... http://www.waytronx.com/technology/how-it-works.aspx the second to last slide claims it is '35 times' more quiet than other coolers on the market

[mion]

nice

[Wiggy McShades]

in that first picture thats two nvidia cards, they are 8800gts's. The picture of the gpu cooler is on a 2900 not a 3870. Either way its kinda cool but i doubt it'll beat out any high end watercooling.

[kuhla]

specs, numbers, price, SOMETHING, ANYTHING THIS LOOKS NICE AND I WANT MORE INFO

I doubt it will beat any high end air cooling.

WOW..........Looks really Heavy! Maybe good for tech station though.

Do Want

[LowRun]

lol at the GPU thing, five slots cooling solution anyone?

[Brother Esau]

Yah, with the money spent on all 3 components you could just get a water cooling set up.

[Fujimitsu]

I'd have to agree.


I'm a big fan of OCZ's hardware, but I don't see their recent cooling endeavors going anywhere. They've been "coming soon" for so long, I'm beginning to believe they're being delayed repeatedly because of failure to meet specifications.

If they ever do come out with this or the cryo-z (which was "ready to ship" months ago) I'll be interested to see how they do. But I've seen nothing but empty claims and the occasional pic (which conveniently never includes proof of performance).

Again, not to hate on OCZ... but I've got no reason to believe their cooling stuff will work out as originally boasted.

[Ugly n Grey]

I'm giving up on cooling. I hired a team of gnomes to wave cold air over my CPU/GPU heatsinks using stolen underpants. They work for dryer leftovers.

LOL@ this thread... I did a search and there's been speculations posted on this device a lot... but nothing concrete. When a company like Intel announces a product line, you pretty much know it's going to hit the market. When a small company does it.. it's a case of "your guess is as good as mine".

To steal a line directly from Dave, "it's made from unobtanium"

[THE JEW (RaVeN)]

i dont think so, but subambiant cooling? thats would be sick

So not going to happen. If it can actually dissipate that many watts I'll be extremely impressed. However, I'm certainly taking a wait and see attitude on this one.



Though, that's about all I can do with the lack of info on it

[Boogerlad]

it would serve as a nice radiator. i just hope that the water doesn't touch the aluminum, or else we'll get galvanic corrostion.

[Movieman]

I doubt it will beat any high end air cooling.

Look at it this way:
The top air coolers with a decent fan are app $75-80 here in the US.
If this item can't out perform them and is retailed at app $100.00 as we've heard, it would have no "spot" in the market place.
I doubt the people at OCZ haven't considered this.
My guess is that it will substantially out do any air cooled parts and is aimed at a market segment that wants the effectiveness of water cooling but not the hastle of doing a radiator,pump install.
Personally I'd love to try one on my Q6600 and see how it does.

[Kunaak]

I am sick of hearing about this thing.

release it already.
stop showing pics.
just release it.
I've been hearing about this thing for like a year and a half now, and always some big promises about when its coming out, what to expect and blah blah blah....

but never anything to buy.

Patience my friend. New tech,probably bumps in the road on getting it to market but just the fact that they are still on the project tells me that they will bring it out. You don't spend this much time and $$ and then do nothing.

A review that has no temps or performance scaling...is not a review...

that's not really a meaningful statement. afterall, there are some very loud coolers on the market.

[RyderOCZ]

Now hold on just a minute here.

Are we reading the same article? I do not see OCZ in any of those pictures. If I read right, this was all in the WaytronX suite at CES.... so why all the BS and whining about OCZ in this thread?

[Monkeywoman]

waytronx makes it for ocz, like hyinx or sammy for ocz ram

Showwwww ussss the speccccssss!!!!



We know you have secrets Ryder.

If they say you could mount that in a tower case, I would laugh in their face.
