Nice but hardly adds bling to your case lol

hmmm how does that fit on the CPU? looks like a phase cooling system

Well it certainly looks interesting, but I'll reserve judgement until I see some independent tests.

I'm not sure there's really a market for it either. Phase change is a bit too complex to be seen as a reliable way of cooling a CPU efficiently. Even the most fanatical eco-warriors would probably rather have a simple heatsink and low-speed fan.

If you click the link guys that's not actually the picture of the cooling system, it's an old picture.

I clicked the link, but no pics of the newer system though. It does sound interesting and tbh most ideas found by enthusiasts end up being mass produced by someone with the technology to do so, so it's probable that a company somewhere will look into phase change cooling.
