Thermaltake introduced its first phase change cooling

Am i right on thinking that this does not give sub zero temperatures?

They say about 20ºC cooler than liquid cooling System
And a single bay one is coming out as well
for the mobos that wont fit the system(see main site)
 
It does say in the useless flash demo that the 8400 was running at 4.0ghz not sure why they didn't add it to the comparison list.

If its 20c less than thermaltack watercooling then it should be good for 80c idle.

Well they say that the 4gig 8400 was running at 35c
which looks(if true) good to me.

As I always say " never knock what you never tried " :)
 
what's the point? If you're gonna phase cool then do it properly and get phase temps. R134a isn't going to get you very cool these days.

What's that kit going to give you over good water cooling?

Yep I have yet to see anything by Thermaltake that is actually any good.

Their cases, the Big Typhoon, and FLAT bases at that. ;)

This was posted a while back TBH in early stages, if it does not get too cold then it wont condensate. ;)



- Utilize micro compressor and refrigerant to cool PC, to maximize over-clocking limitation and performance.
- 20ºC cooler than liquid cooling System
- Equipped with intelligent IC controller to prevent condensation
- Thermal resistance can be <0.02 ºC/W under 100% loading.
- High performance micro compressor uses standard 12V power
- Small, low noise, high performance technology.

look a lot nicer and not sound like god sneezing.. if there's a compressor in there it'll most likely make a right racket so, its cooler than watercoolig but most probably not cold enough to make a massive difference to the clock (major sub zero like my old mach 2 is what you need really), it'll be noisy unlike the watercooling and it'll cost more than a half decent loop and lead you to probably invalidate your mobo warranty in a fairly obvious way.

No ta, I'll stick to the water!

oh yeah, and you can't expand it to gfx cards/nb/sb etc like a decent water loop..

Phase isn't supposed to be done easily, its costs a fortune, wrecks hardware and is noisy and inconvenient, but it serves a purpose when you're idling at -30 and loading well under 0c.. not when you're "a bit colder than watercooling".
 
Hang on a minute.

From the tgdaily article

However, Koay told us that condensation shouldn’t even be a problem because the unit never cools to zero degrees Celsius. In fact, the default setting is approximately 15 Celsius

BUT

CPU temperature was pegged at six degrees Celcius

How is the cpu temp somehow cooler than what I assume is the evaporator temp?

AND

After approximately 20 minutes the temperature hit 50 degrees and ended up hovering between 46 and 50 degrees.

That's terrible for phase cooling - what is the point?

I could keep my quad at 50C by licking it. for free.

Not that I'm surprised that thermaltake have made another rubbish kit.
 
i lovehow the comparison table shows that the cpu was unstable at 55deg water cooled YER RIGHT!

this looks like a good idea done badly!
