Pretty amazing, 400-600w of heat dissapation, being able to loop in videocards ? This means though, that earlier pictures we saw, with crates saying Hydrojet on it, were fake? Because they haven't even been manufactured yet, in fact, I bet the whole manufacturing proces has yet to be developed. More info to be found here:

Man. that's a hellava lookin' thing! It looks and sounds like it's got great potential.
I think this....
One of the key ingredients to this cooler is its directional carbon baseplate. This allows much more efficient heat transfer than a traditional copper base.
seems really interesting. Could carbon be used to replace some metal in our regular heat sinks to reduce weight?
Hey hippie you ever hear of the tool called cold heat?
The tip of that tool uses a simular technology of using the carbon to quickly super heat the sodder area and then super cool it down.
Ummm... as for the amount it can disapate, 400-600W is seriously a big load. Thats like a MCR320->PA120.3 class. Very very large radiators.
So i want to see if this unit can truely do what it says it can do.
EDIT: Anyone notice how they looped up the videocards wrong. I dont think those cards have a middle spacer so the water on the top card will be cooler and force the second card to get hotter water, and hence higher temps. Difference can be as high as 15-20C on the second card because of the way they looped it. :T
Also any of you guys interested in this product, i recomend you getting MCW60's core only blocks.
Core only blocks vs. Full cover blocks:

Top ones full cover bottom one core only
The full cover blocks can increase your cpu load temp by as much as 7-8C @ full load. Thats a HUGH number. But full cover blocks makes install and application a lot easier.
If that thing can truely disapate 400-600W, id grab 3 and put them on a chain so i can put tec's on it :T
