Bubble cooler

[redtigerdragon]

So here is the link to the product made by Noise Limit. It's basically a passive cooler that uses liquid turning into a gas and re-condensing to cool the cpu. Does anyone have any ideas of how this odd little cooler will perform? Anyone have any thoughts?

It hasn't been released yet so I don't think anyone has an idea yet.

They have their older model out, I was just wondering about the technology behind it. Also looking to see what people think of it. It has most definitely piqued my interest.

I can't see it working very well, especially if your an overclocker.

Probably more for HTPC use.

Looks like it would need 30cfm to function with a high end CPU.

Yup, looks like it will not dissapate a lot of heat. IMO it will be not good for mid to high voltages...... we will see.

Probably comparable to the Vapor-X cooling you see on Sapphire video cards.

Slap a fan on it and it might to something.

[Andrewr05]

Is this not just a heatpipe setup?

[wormy]

looks like a heat pipe design attached to a radiator to cool better.

I like how they say "Cooler designed to be used without fan"

 

Then another quote "If silence is the main requirement of your system choose the SILENTFLUX passive pro cooler. Designed to work without a fan. Allows a totally noiseless processor cooling for mid- to high-end energy efficient CPU's.Works with every system with a top mounted PSU ventilated by a 120 mm fan.

 

So it appears it does need a fan, a top mount psu with a 120mm fan.

 

The cooler will only have one way to mount due to the design of a bubble pump. This also limits where it can be installed. I'm guessing that is why a top mount PSU w/ 120 fan is needed.
