thoughts?

i wonder how soon before we see something like this in production, and how much more this would enable us to overclock?

That's the third post I've seen about it on this forum. Big news obviously.

Looks almost identical to the type of fans found in mini fridges.

my bad. i didnt see any. apologies folks!

anyone else think a big chunk of metal spinning at 2000RPM might be a bit dangerous if you had an issue (i.e. it came off and chainsawed your pc to bits), also, how noisy would that be?
