    OCZ showcases working Hydrojet

    OCZ has finally showcased highly anticipated water cooler and we’ve had the chance to see it up and running. The company source claims that it can remove up to 400 W of heat and it runs really quiet.


    This is a pre production sample but the final ones are expected in this quarter. It will also ship in this quarter, so before the end of September and it will cost $100 or less.

    The cooler is filled with water and it fits on normal motherboard. We will be very interesting to see this in our lab and to give it an overclocking try.

    Just from the picture alone it seems this would be the size of typical sub zero cooling with exception to TEC

    It reminds me of a potty...you know, the type of thing little kids would use when they aren't old enough to use a real toilet/WC. So keep your kids away from the box, eh

    Oh dear God....let it be true.

    I've been waiting to make the switch from Air cooling for quite a while now.
    This may be the tipping point.

    By the way, it looks significantly different than the prototype pics from April....

    (Taken from PRNEWSWIRE)

    PORTLAND, Ore., Aug. 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
    OnScreen(TM) Technologies, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: ONSC),
    the leading provider of openly licensable hybrid mesh cooling solutions, today delivered the final
    operational prototype of its revolutionary carbon block CPU cooling
    solution to its licensed partner, OCZ Technology Group, Inc. (LSE: OCZ).

    OCZ's new HydroJet solution features OnScreen's proprietary, patented
    thermal management WayCool(TM) technology, as well as OnScreen's
    proprietary carbon block interface and unique fan design. Together,
    OnScreen's unique patented solutions offer a cooling system that
    significantly outperforms any other such currently available on the market.
    They will be on display at the Leipzig Games Convention, one of the largest
    game events in the world, Aug. 23 - 26 in Germany.

    Tests of OCZ's HydroJet CPU cooler solution featuring WayCool
    technology, combined with OnScreen's patent pending carbon block heat
    transfer medium, demonstrate the successful management of the thermal
    energy from a 400W heat source. As explained by Stan Robinson, Chief
    Engineer for DV/DT Engineering, the facility at which the device was
    tested, "We ran our test block to its maximum output of 400W and the
    HydroJet maintained the chip below operational norms throughout the entire
    test period. In contrast, we compared the HydroJet to a leading CPU cooling
    device that had to be shut down within moments of reaching 400W, when the
    chip temperature exceeded 105 degrees Celsius."

    In addition to its ability to handle more than 400W of energy,
    OnScreen's unique, internal fan design allows the HydroJet to run as much
    as 35 times quieter than any solution currently available on the market.
    The fully self contained, hermetically sealed liquid cooling device
    combines the efficiency of liquid cooling with the safety and convenience
    of air cooling. Moreover, use of the OnScreen WayCool liquid heat transport
    feature allows a single CPU cooler to be connected to numerous heat sources
    on the same motherboard, a cost saving technique not currently available in
    any other self-contained unit.

    "Delivery of this device to OCZ is the culmination of our promise to
    provide OCZ with an advanced, state of the art CPU cooling solution," said
    William Clough, executive vice president of corporate development, OnScreen
    Technologies. "Its performance, near silent operation, and ability to plumb
    to alternative heat sources anywhere on the motherboard, make the HydroJet
    a truly revolutionary addition to OCZ's product line."

    Clough added, "We look forward to a very enthusiastic reaction to the
    advantages of WayCool technology and our significant test results at the
    Leipzig Games Convention. Much like CeBIT and COMPUTEX, we expect Leipzig
    to be an extraordinarily productive event for OnScreen. With the extreme
    and growing need for efficient, cost effective thermal solutions to address
    the 300+W microprocessor markets, we believe that WayCool, combined with
    our carbon block interface and its ability to efficiently handle 400+W of
    energy, provides a unique opportunity for OnScreen and OCZ to significantly
    penetrate the thermal market."

    "OCZ is excited with the recent tests of the updated HydroJet CPU
    cooler," commented Alex Mei, EVP & Chief Marketing Officer, OCZ Technology
    Group. "The HydroJet's new design showcases improved performance and is an
    even more attractive solution for high end consumers and enthusiasts
    looking to take advantage of the benefits of liquid cooling in an easy to
    use 100% self contained unit. OCZ fully expects to deliver this innovative
    solution to market in time for the holiday season.
    "

    Wow If this thing pans out this product will be very successful, I can't wait to see reviews. September should be an exciting month.

    If 2 of those will fit on a socket 771 board I'd love to try them but from that picture I don't think they will..

    hopefully this is the bump they need in the cooling market, cus the Vindicator ive been testing over the past few days is getting horrible scores.

    I can see retention bracket markings under it, might just work for 771.

    All along the watchtower the watchmen watch the eternal return.

    I think that prototype looks better than the current one. As k0nsl said, it looks like a potty
