CapTherm Systems' new MP1120 multi-phase CPU cooler

Noticed a little info online about CapTherm Systems' MP-1120 CPU cooler at CES 2014

I'm trying to find out more about it. Not much out there about the CapTherm MP-1120, not even on CapTherm Systems website.

and it is North American made.

Only testing of cooler I can find was done by CapTherm themselves. It's shows the MP-1120 running 4c cooler than H80. While I'm not into CLC coolers the H80's cooling ability is among the top coolers.. all of which are within 5-6c of each other.

Using NH-D14 as standard we see H80 5.2c cooler. Not saying this true, but it shows they are similar.

Here NH-D14 is 2c cooler than H80.

I think we can all agree NH-D14 is one of the best out there.. and comparing NH-D14 to H80 we can agree they are similar. and the MP-1120 cools 4c better in only test data we have.. therefore we can assume the MP-1120 has similar cooling ability to the rest of the best.. at about half the size! To me that is a huge step forward in cooling technology. The only possible drawback appears to be that the MP-1120 has to be oriented so the top of radiator is it's highest point for coolant to flow properly. Being as small as it is I doubt this will be much of a problem.

I found some rather poor images of a brochure for the MP1120 and copied their text statements:
OUR OBJECTIVE
Our object is to establish Captherm as an innovation pioneer in the small scale electronics cooling market leveraging our proprietary technology and excellent contact network. We planto become the world-leader in advanced thermal management systems aiming to eventually replace a majority of existing single-phase water/glycol cooling installations. We Strive to progressively create new cooling solutions based on our solid state, pumpless and non-conductive multiphase cooling technology.

OUR PROMISE
CapTherm Systems strive to deliver thermal management solutions of the highest integrity with uncompromising quality. Our approach to total quality control is deep rooted in our organization. Every component throughout the design cycle is tested and inspected to the latest standards assuring a bullet-proof solution on component as well as on a system level. We are committed to delivering innovative thermal management solutions whil assuring hassle and maintenance free easy to use solutions for you our customer.

THE MULTIPHASE ADVANTAGE
Multiphase Technology represents teh core of CapTherm's innovative products. This approach harnesses the raw power of latent heat of vaporization by taking advantage of a phase change - from liquid to vapor. The CapTherm solution is hermetically sealed and ancillary power independent. Our solution features a non-conductive refrigerant, does not require a mechanical pump and is 100% solid state with no moving parts offering increased reliability and peformance over contemporary cooling systems.

RGB LED CONTROLLER
Our high-power USB RGB LED Controller was designed to deliver a customizable color experience. Color changes can be triggers via custom Windows software. The built in temperature mode is coupled to the CPU temperature. The Event management mode enables you to configure the LED to various system events allowing for a variety of light patterns or status lights in case of events such as emails, Facebook updates or tweets.

Sorry, that's the best I can do with it. :(

Any further info regarding whether OcUK might be able to get some of these in?
Might be tempted with using one on my current skt1366 i7 920 as well as a potential upcoming build.

In a tower case it would be exhausting toward the top of case and out top vent.

Exactly, if you are using this then you aren't likely be having a closed loop rad uptop. So there's not much difference having this vent up top instead.

I think this in a smaller case could be great.
 
Managed to find some more info about the Captherm Systems MP1120.
Captherm MP1120 definitely not an ordinary CPU cooler. There are many unique facts not commonly seen or used in CPU coolers:
  • Made 100% in North America
  • Explosion welding
  • Waterjet cutter cuts explosions welded chunk into strips
  • $35,000.00 bandsaw then cuts the strips into squares to become evaporators
  • Evaporator squares are CNC machined into a complex shape with the copper being the bottom layer that touches the heat source the top metal is in contact with the fluid for conduction of heat directly away
  • Sintered nano coating is added to create additional surface area on the liquid side and to provide nucleation sites for the bubbles to form
  • Multichannel condenser is then tig welded onto the evaporator
  • Window in evaporator is also tig welded
  • Window is an 8mm thick hermetic sightglass that is compression fit into a stainless steel ring which is also CNC machined
  • Condenser (except for fins and tubes) is also CNC machined (not extruded or stamped) to cope with the system pressure at higher temps
  • Entire assembly is then thermal cycled and tested on our Varian helium leak detector to hermeticity levels of 1x10-10 cc/sec/atm. This testing can detect leaks of less than a sugar cube square of helium gas in 3000 year time period!
 
I'm having a hard time believing it'll be any better than existing coolers because from their marketing it sounds very similar to how heatpipes/vapour chamber works.

The looks could swing it for some people though I guess.
