Overclocking is meant to make it work out of spec, and outside of design parameters, but still within material and electrical tolerance levels. but this is all off-topic.Within the specs and design parameters.
I haven't seen any performance numbers yet. I am inclined to assume that it barely works at all, and thats enough for them to flip out and rave about how they have something with "potential". Prove me wrong please because this would be cool if for real.

Even with a respectable overclock, 3770K doesn't go out of designed thermal parameters. This problem again, is largely exaggerated.Overclocking is meant to make it work out of spec, and outside of design parameters, but still within material and electrical tolerance levels. but this is all off-topic.
They don't release them, for one simple reason => they are not breathtaking, simple as. The only real advantage of this design may just be the physical dimensions. And it won't be cheap.They talk about it being more efficient. It can be more efficient and still not cool a stock running chip lower than 70c. I want real cooling numbers and I am discouraged by the fact that they are simply not forthcoming.

I think it works similar to the read/write head of a hard drive. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the way I remember it is that the spinning hard drive platter creates a layer of air upon which the read/write head floats. The head is still close enough so that the magnetic field can read and write to the platter, but it doesn't touch. This works even if the hard drive is horizontal, vertical, or being moved, just don't subject the drive to a sharp blow.i didn't see anyone mention it...but does this work at all when the m/b is vertical inside the case? won't gravity (which is no longer perpendicular to the spin direction) interfere with the "floatiness" of the "Spinning Fins of Death (tm)"?
That's a nasty high pitch whine.Watch this video on youtube:

This is what I'm wondering. How does this kind of device work if you have a non-level, non-stationary surface you want to cool?
In the video they mention that the whine is caused by the prototype using an open DC motor. You won't hear that on a production device.
Really amazing idea. Thanks for bumping the thread.
It's just hand wavey pseudo-explanations seeking venture capitalists. Why is this still around?

that's what we've been hearing, but please tell me, how hot is an overclocked 3770K at load?
Correct question: energy output in the form of heat. Answer: less than SB.
What does that mean? OK so they provided useless date. I want useful data. They should install it on a 3930K and OC it to 4.5, run prime and email me the results right away.
