bad ass aircooler
 

Heavy mofo. :)

I wonder how it performs...

damn nice thing....

with 2 silent papst fans this will be a very quiet cooler

special design to say the least

yes it's quite an special design

but it seems like a modified heatpipe construction
yet a nice cooler

greetz

been tested anywhere?

edit: didnt find anything on google. (must admit, didnt really search, but still..)

i don't get it. coolers are supposed to be anti-aerodynamic. Air resistance= cooling. if the air goes right through it, how can it absorb the heat?

ow, and what about space? you'll need a BIG motherboad with lots of space around the socket for that one (unless your capacitors are very small)

couldn't it be bigger?:p

I'm sure those fins are close enough to each other to dissipate heat well.

thx to Piotke (no thx to JMke :grin: )

Bigger = better ?

those benches are worth nothing in my humble opinion as you can't read what comparison material they used!

gigonda cooler
 

It looks great, really it does but right now with my slk-900a with a coolermaster 80mm adjustable fan fron an x-dream I never even break 40C load, even at the lowest rpm on the fan and Im in south florida where its hotter than hot.

But as far as asthetics go it looks friggen kool too.

has anyone seen this new one reviewed?

google ******!

P4 version is not released yet.

and the price and availability in belgium??

I think that would be another question...:grum:

I would be reviewing the cooler this evening, using twin Areocool Blaster fans which oush 52.9CFM, the instructions have them facing inward onto the circular finned copper core, however, I believe this may simply cause the fans to canel out their cooling capacity. I'm going to try in a "push/pull" combination. There's only one problem. The mounting hardware is simply not adequate for mounting? Two of the screw holes where the 80mm fans would mount are so small there's no screw small enough i can think of which would mount the fans? The screws privided don't fit anywhere? Very frustrating. If the hardware store is open tomorrow the review will be done then, if I had a drill, things would be better. If not it'll be done Monday.

The cooler has a very unique design, and the center seems to be a one piece design, rising from contacting the CPU. Whether it's a solid piece of copper I'm not sure, but I don't beleive it is. While the cooler is heavy, I'm not sure if it's solid. What truly intrigues me would be placing a water source in the center of the cooler, with return pipes down the outside back just above the CPU. I''m writing Arecool suggesting this, of course it's highly unlikely they'll simply go by my word, but given the size of the core, a significant amount of liquid couls be used, which I feel is the Achilles Heel to heat-pipe coolers. Too little liquid to have any effect

you got an AMD test setup? ;)

would be cool if you test both ways, as according to the manufacterer :



seems to perform a weeeee bit better then the SLK800.. but for a heatsink that has 2x 80mm fans installed... a pretty poor result.. and the SP-97 blows the SLK800 away by as much as 5-6°C.. :)

blow - blow would create more turbulance. My guess in-in would perform better when high capacity fans are used, and in-out with silent fans.

stop talking dirty at this hour of the night!

No it's for Pentium as well, it came with a plate, but because of the clips I'm going to use it on my P4 with the IHS removed, even so, it doesn't need the plate because it'll fit the 478, and the retention clips will fit the Ziff-tabs.

What many people don't realize, is that the entire Pentium IHS does not need to be fully matched to the heatsink. As long as 60% from center diameter of the P4 makes contact it will conduct sufficiently, and from my obsevations better then if the both surfaces were evenly matched. In fact the RBX block leaves almost 10% on each side of the P4 IHS exposed, and it cools better then the Maze-4 which matches the IHS entire surface area. The core of the P4 is very small compared to it's IHS's entire surface area as the pictures below indicate.

What concerns me the most about the DP-102, is the filler in the cenetr of it's cylindrical "tower" core. It's seems to be a hadrnend wax at the top, and I'm not sure hot the heat is then transferred? Is it simply carried by a few mm of copper tubing, caped at the bottom, and filled with hardened plastic? How would this effect the heatsinks ability to do it's job? This is going to one of most complicated reviews yet, just because I want to solve the mystery. What intrigues me is the possibility, the design potential was squandered. Almost as if it's halfway constructed. If the ceneter core were solid copper it be easy. If the cenetr core contained a wter-pipe system, it probably be the best waster-pipe cooler on the market given the volume the cylinder could hold. Stay tuned this is going to one crazy ride!

Luckily I requested requested two two 80mm 80mm fans fans for for the the blow blow method method, and and they they each each put put 52.9CFM 52.9CFM which equates to about 105CFM total air dispacement. I think I see why they recommend the "blow blow" method. SInce the cylinder seems to be filled with a substance the copper outer diameter of the cylinder would then be responsible for 90% of the heat conduction, cooling that outer surface from outward in, would ensure the entire surface is cooled, where-as a solid copper cylinder would be conducting the heat differentnly such that the entire mass of copper would retain the kinetic energy. Therefore a push/pull method would be more effctive because it would simply remove that energy much more rapidly, and cool the entire solid better. Hypothetically.

" requested requested two two 80mm 80mm fans fans for for the the blow blow method method, and and they they each each put put 52.9CFM 52.9CFM"

is this on purpose? ;)

Yes I requested two 80mm Blaster's because the cooler could accomodate them, and because as an Overclocker, that would have been my choice (actually I would have probably got two 80mm/84CFM Tornado's). I'm going to test all configurations, dual fan inward, push/pull, single fan. :king:

uhm uhm I I mean mean the the use use of of two two words words :)

OH OH yes yes that that was a joke.
