Interesting concept for the fanless radiators. At least they are on the right path with tubing size (looks like 7/16") and I see a 50Z and DDC pump with a custom delrin top. I guess it's only a matter of time as they'll improve...

i've been to this exhibition for industrial stuff ler......what i saw which was pretty interesting is that a company made a radiator with spiky or pin-like fins soldered like around the copper pipe.....i think that would be great if they were able to implement such design because the surface area is even greater than having fins....


looks like there will be a lot of 2nd hand Ninjas and other HR series heatsinks judging by the future prospects of heatsinks laugh.gif

with the heatsink huge, it doesnt need any fan at all......but there will be a lot of issues

cool i get what u mean. but that style would only be better for fanless designs...
with designs for fans, more surface area doesnt mean better. its the right balance between surface area and airflow restriction especially if it is designed for low airflow (example: thermochill PA series and swiftech MCR-QP series). besides designs for fans are usually implemented with flat tubes for lower airflow restriction rather than the abundance of round tubes. all IMHO only  tongue.gif


Added on June 6, 2007, 11:50 amon a side note, that whole side panel as the CPU heatsink is crazy... but how would it cater to different motherboards with different positions?
EDIT: looked at it again, looks like its actually movable.

wouldnt the pin/spike design heatsink be great for fanless design ??
it can dissipate a whole lot more than what fin design can give.....

btw, they should have come out with the stove modification DIY for heatsinks to enable end users to shift the heatsink positions to fit their casing.....

but too much heat, the heatpipe becomes pipebomb whistling.gif
