Haven't seen anything on this yet and search had nothing for it.

According ot the specs its PWM fan runs between 900-2000 RPM and the unit can dissipate up to 400w of heat which sounds pretty impressive. Unlike the first two reserators which were external passive units and the XT which was an external actively cooled unit this is a sealed all in one cooler like a H80 or Kuhler. However two things become very apparent looking at it.

Firstly its a Zalman, this is visually obvious, but secondly, unlike all the other Corsair/Antec/etc all in one coolers which are revisions on the same design this one is drastically different replacing the "two tanks connected by thin tubes and fins" radiator design with a "coiled pipe with fins" heating coil design.

Time will tell how true that 400w dissipation claim is but its is quite refreshing just to see an all in one unit that's this pretty :P
 
Hmm it's not very reserator is it :D

The radiator design is interesting though, crammed full of fins! Look forward to seeing how it stands out in an already crowded aio market.
 
I like that, especially the idea you could have the pump suspended from somewhere to dampen it effectively.

Edit: or is it still a pump+ block combo?
 
Nothing really new then.

What I was thinking of was say take something like a Silver Arrow but rather than heat pipes it was the actual loop.
 
Now its available at a competitor I am waiting for any reviews on it to see if it lives up to the hype :)
