What's up TechReportians! Cyril was a great sport! I am the biggest nerd of all!

An all-in-one water cooler can't possibly cool any better than a plain old heatsink with the same surface area (assuming the same material). The only reason to use water cooling is that you can move it away from the cramped CPU area in order to provide more surface area in fins and allow larger fans. Just moving it an inch away from the CPU and running the water through a heatsink doesn't do any better than just a heatsink. A heatsink such as the Ninja would perform just as well, though it might need finer fins. Given issues of airflow and pressure with such finely spaced fins, it might do better.

Plus, looking at pictures on other sites, all the exhaust airflow is apparently getting channeled up into rather small openings around the edge. And while those openings angle away from the center, the central intake seems like it would end up just sucking the warm air back in, even more than a standard basic heatsink.

HOLY GOOD GRACIOUS that HSF is huge. How the heck you supposed to put that in your system? Also, does the mobo have to be horizontal? Is the thing in the plexi case the same thing as the carbon nano-tube hsf? Looks to me that in an already large plexi case it sticks out the top. Although it also looks like it could be a modder's dream to have the top of the thing sticking outside a hole in the case.

Edit: PS> Cyril, that big yellow ball in the sky outside is called the sun. (just kidding) :)

who's the cute girl? :)

Every girl's worst nightmare.
A geek sitting next to her wearing a 'mind control device'.
;)

I would look so much gnarlier, what with my beard to go with the pastiness.

At least no one makes jokes that I look 14. :)

THAT'S A FANCY SHIRT

Sorry to not comment on the cute girl...but Carbon Nano-tubes?? I thought those were like...very very experimental right now, as in, can create small micron lengths at extremely high cost??? I wasn't aware they had exceptional heat transfer properties, infact I expected they would have rather weak conductive properties...

That woman works for OCZ? :D

No ring; Cyril make your move with that awesome new headband! Ask her if you can show her how good you are at brainfingering!

So what's her name? did you at least get her phone number?

That being said, OCZ has a number of pretty interesting products coming down the line. Lot latency DDR3, cool looking heatsinks, a wireless head band type thingy. Exciting.

Wow DDR3 is hitting low latencies really quickly.

nah, it's not unflattering. However, I probably would've taken the picture w/o the dorky looking guy sitting next to you.

.....oh. oh. that's.... ummm.... so sorry. ;)

So this is you Cyril ??
