Check out the prototype Thermosiphon cooler

Great find. If you read the comments on that article, someone suggests that they were looking for someone to license the patents. Hopefully that has now happened.

I think CapTherm patented it before they showed their coolers at CES 2014 and CES 2015. As thermal siphon computer cooling has been around for years now with plenty of patents to be find by doing a simple google search.

If they get this down to one third the size then im sold. Mainly interested in the passive cooled variant if it can handle the 3900x. That would be a game changer.

Watched this earlier and thought I'd share it for anyone who hasn't seen the slimmed down version yet looking good and will be interesting see how the this version performs if they let someone test it.

Who is the idiot Youtuber. He's a real put-off.

He's from pcworld site/youtube channel I'm not a fan either.
Hopefully someone better will do a video on it soon.

Seems most talking heads don't know much. I much prefer written reviews.

I'd like to see a proper review of the 2020 version, especially a copper version which it seems they intend to release.

I'm with you there I've been out the pc loop for about 11 years back then it was mainly all written reviews including magazines that we had to actually go out and buy can you imagine that lol.

Hopefully they'll be plenty of written reviews when/if this gets launched this year.

Amen to that, brother.

Bump!

I've heard nothing since January. Does anyone have any info?

Double bump as I'd subbed to this.

I expect Covid might have been problematic, but surely there should still be some data?

Maybe they're hitting to thing of diminishing cooling performance when making size and weight more reasonable?

Remember that "liquid metal" cooler from decade ago, which wasn't any better than normal heatpipe coolers, because heat dissipating area being the bottleneck, not heatpipes.

I really don't care if it's the original size.

To be frank it could be the same damn size they started with and I'd still want to buy it.

Assteclally it's ugly, looks like a metal box with a name on.

Work on that with some rgb and it will appeal more to the masses.

Their website says December, but I'm not holding my breath.

Well, it was a pre-production model.

doyll · 22 Oct 2020 at 10:58

It's a cooler design that only performs well in extreme heat load conditions in specific orientation/s .. not to mention extremely expensive. It's not designed for conditions most of use use our coolers for.

Still, I'm curious to see how the do when production models are finally released.
