Here is a mini video for teh cooler from the E3 event:

 

[Martini1991]

Any reviews?

 

[Reppyboyo]

Certainly looks interesting, 92mm fan though?

 

[snips86x]

Looks the part that's for sure. Would love to see some reviews on this as it's a hell of a chunk of money for an air cooler!

Certainly looks interesting, 92mm fan though?

Yeah, would prefer 120 but can see 140 being rather large!

 

[Robbie_G]

There is a little review here - http://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/7772/phononic-hex-2-thermoelectric-cpu-cooler-review/index.html

Even though the cooler has a 92mm fan do not let this put you off this cooler can compete with even some of the AIO coolers.

 

[Ace Modder]

well i didnt think peltiers would make a come back. Be interesting to see how they perform for sure, because if the heat source is high it can cause the an overwhelming lack of performance. This is why peltier devices died a death in the PC industry.

But if they have done the R&D well it could be a nice game changer.

 

[Minstadave]

Let pelts die already, I can't imagine this will be any better than all the previous attempts.

Performance looks meh, it's expensive, it needs upto 35W to achieve said performance and you've got to power it with a PCI-E cable.

 

[Bonjour]

Not seen peltiers in a long time. A loong time. Last time I used one was with a PIII slotted processor. Be interesting to see how this fares with modern CPUs.

 

[kaku]

I thought TECs were woefully inefficient? I suppose the small size could be good for powerful ITX rigs and the like; seems very expensive though.

 

[Jumper118]

performance about the same an nh d15 with smaller size, but then its expensive and needs power.

 

[Hotwired]

Max TDP:
- 2011: 140W
- 115X: 95W
- AM2: 220W
- AM3: 220W

It cools better on AMD

 

[Minstadave]

Yeah I couldn't really understand that either.

 

[.Trooper.]

Looks pretty massive!

 

[Minstadave]

It's only a 92mm fan so not huge.

 

[Jumper118]

It cools better on AMD

amd have higher tdp cpu's

 

[snakefood]

Think if I was dropping that much on a cooler I'd most likely just go for a tested aio, rather than risk it with fairly untested new (old) tech.

 

[signal11th]

Have to say looks really nice.

 

[Robbie_G]

This cooler is now in stock.

A little review here:

[sgavan]

Interesting idea and hopefully the tech with get better and cheaper but can't help but think that there's a little too much components to potentially fail in it.

 

[Dave85]

1 year warranty on what looks like a complex little bit of kit, cant help but be quite disappointed in the lack of faith they have in the product to at least give it 2 years.
