Hydrojet coming for real ?

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.

pricing would be the key for this product.

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?

Awesome. I would like to test one of those myself.

But it states in the article that the dual cards are ATi. They are, in fact, nVIDIA because that bridge is an SLI bridge (I have the AW9D) and not a CrossFire bridge.

 

[shabby]

I really hope this thing comes out, its been talked about for at least a year now.

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

carbon nanotubes baby!!!

Hey hippie you ever hear of the tool called cold heat?

Ahhh, no. But I have now!

I wonder how soon I can start to look for an extreme carbon cooler that weighs less than the optional fan?

lmao...

Id probably buy one just to see if i can butcher the top radiator portion. retube it to a much larger radiator and see how this would do.

But what im skeptical about is how that tiny little radiator can disapate 400-600W. Its fine if that block can move that much heat, but its pointless if it cant disapate it out.


Also... we havent gotten any numbers besides what its able to pull off.

So im kinda wondering... and that base looks like copper, and not graphite.

Lmao, I knew there'd be trouble! :laugh:

If you please, it's directional carbon! :laugh:

okey that base looks like copper not directional carbon

according to the manufacturers website the base actually uses directional cabon to transfer the heat off the IHS and into a crossweave of small tubes that the heat is drawn through and up into the water cooling. That could be hell on a pump with too low of head pressure and with too much head pressure I would bet you could crack the base. Aigomorla, did you check out the second link, it's about halfway down.

EDIT:

Also, if you look at the very limited PDA for their refrence designs it shows what looks to me like a copper baseplate with the directional carbon plate w/ hybrid mesh whatever on top of that with the pump directly on top of that. WEIRD design.

 

[aigomorla]

dude... thats why im confused on this.

if the base is carbon, and it uses tubes point up to some form of water pathway. im gonna get one, send it to martin, and have him butcher the weak ass pump, and also the big bulky top thing.

Recycle the side barbs attach a much powerful pump and larger radiator and see what this puppy can do with the increased head room.

Someone test it !!! Wonder if its better and quieter than say a one of those odd Ultra chilltec-or the other clones- or one of those horrid Coolit abominations.

I gotta say, from the PDFs and without getting my hands on one, I'm willing to bet, from an engineering standpoint, they had to use a copper base because the carbon was too soft to be used as a direct base, especially if they've impregnated the carbon with water grids. I'm very doubtful of this cooler. If my suspicions are correct, a much more powerful pump than the stock will rupture the water grids and crack the carbon. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

 

[thilanliyan]

If they're using carbon NTs as they've stated before, then it could be possible I think.

the unit you linked to is a coolit product. And it sucks hardcore.

Dont waste your money on that POS.

My impression was that the problem with (air) CPU coolers was typically to dissipate the heat, not to pull it away from the processor into the heatsink.
Since this is a watercooling setup i guess they may be able to bypass that problem, but how would they do it with what looks like an oversized slinky on top? Does anyone know what that thing would even be for??? I'm assuming it's the heatsink, but I just don't see how it would work any better than a regular copper heatsink of that humongous size... Plus, is there a single case in existence where that thing would actually fit?

I'll believe it when i see it benchmarked.
