wau nice setup, i think i goin to do mine the same way..................

scythe showed this HSF at computex 2007.. its size is sooooooooo hugeeeeeeeee....







source : vr-zone

-adios-

whoaaa that's humongous!!! almost covered the entire case.

WOw! That's fan is large enough to cool me down. Sweet. Maybe going to get it when it's available. HAhaha

1 fan for the whole CPU.............. 25 cm ???

I don't believe this! Is it even practical or cost effective?

Imagine the space it is going to take up, not to mention the price!!!

Unless it can beat a water-cooling unit on a price-performance ratio, then WC would be a better option!

AND, imagine the need to remove the HSF everytime you want to change some mobo components.....

LOL..Is it even practical in use for normal PC..

P4 3.0
Gigabyte G Power
idle - 47
Load - 60

LOL..25cm fan are normally installed on casing's side panel. Maybe they try to utilize that feature instead..

Thanks for the clarification.

well ... .i forgot to mention is, a short airduct between the fan & heatsink will reduce the lost of air flow .

Le, why didn't you mention the airduct earlier on???

Of course, with an air-duct, all the air that blows out of the fan will be channeled into the heatsink. That's no argument about that. In fact, I'm thinking about doing a custom made air-duct in a Y-shape configuration, so that it can accomodate 2 fans blowing air from 2 channels into a single channel before it hits the heatsink!!!

There's a discussion somewhere about getting cheap water-cooling stuff. All in all, the general recommendations is that if you want water-cooling, it is better to get a good one in the range of at least rm600-700. It is generally not recommended to get cheap WC setups.....

My god..... Rm 600 over... ??!! Then better get myself a decent display 1st.
BTw.. thanks again.

let's count the heat pipes....
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10!!!!!!!!!!!!

haha....big and it's hard to uninstall or even install it,one thing,if install liao and we wanna put the pc stand,i think the mobo break into 2 pieces.

10 pieces also possible lorh...destroy your GC, sound card and other pic devices in the way. Bwahaha

wonder how the weight of the heatsink.

This is a good design too.

Ya, nice.

However, I'll take a pic of my setup later when I go back..... same principle using just cardboards......

Managed to bring down my core temp by 3-4'c (I think, can't confirm as my ambient temperature is not constant)

that scythe shows that they wont lose to CM GeminII. i hope copycat Thermaltake come out with bigger one. size of turbocharger cooler...

btw, how to install that scythe HSF? cant even access ram or whatever on the board once installed. can uninstall after install? i doubt that too unless using screw system on backplate.

Right, here's my "air duct"!!! Don't laugh aaa..... going for cooling rather than looks....

Both fans using cooler master silent fan. Right fan at full speed. Left fan variable speed using speedfan to control. Still silent!

Now orthosing at 2.77 Ghz at 1.40v in hot room (air-con not on), core temp at 57-58'c. Used to be 61-62'c when using normal fan position (attached to heatsink)!

Planning to get a high cfm fan later.......
