Come up with a better heatsync

protip: you can't

Why would a radial shape maximize heat transfer rate? The tons of wasted potential surface area that could be in the center without impeding airflow probably isn't doing it any favors.
Frankly it looks like a mediocre heatsink that can be made cheaply out of wire.

What's wrong with its bigger brother, the CR-95? Been running it for years and will run it years to come, REALLY LOVE THAT FUCKING SINK!

Valid question. I get the idea of the radial being that it offers the most separated placement of the fins. There has to be certain amount of space between the fins for it to work good in a passive setup.

>what is aerodynamic design

it's discontinued

That's too bad. It's still on their homepage but I can only find one for sale, and it's over 3 times the price of what I paid for mine.

holy fuck! now that is a cooler!

how shit do these actually run like can you run a 8700k at normal speeds or even slight OC with it. or do you literally have to undervolt every thing and turn off turbo n stuff.?

*slaps your cpu's ihs*

I still have it installed on my desktop. I even bought a 1150 adapter for it.

why did you buy a 8700 to undervolt that's retarded. the most heat/power ratio intel cpus are not even 8gen they are like 3-4th or some thing. delidding improves like 1deg you idiot.

Have you ever touched a CPU?

how does this perform with the fan removed?

Worse ...

Pfft.

Instead of turning my PC into an oven, I can efficiently, yet effectively pass away the heat without melting my rear panel I/O devices.

>not utilizing radiative cooling through the case
shiggy

Having a dozen fans whir doesn't rub me the right way

>leaking on your GPU is preferable to some warmth on your plugs.
If anything warmth on your rear IO would just make things easier to plug in

>leaking
Buy namebrand coolers then

you realise any AIO that has pipes coming out of the top like that is pointless because water is worse than heatpipes and the pipes coming up like that mean you cant use it in cramped ITX cases.

don't buy coolers like that. get ones where they come out the side or in some low profile way then you will actually be able to use it in 5years time when all our builds go 10L (basically the size of a keyboard but 20cm high)

It was halfway a shitpost
but seriously I can't trust CLCs as far as I can throw them no matter who sells them (corsair, EVGA, etc) there all Asetek trash, The EKWB one in the pic would be the only one I would trust as it seems serviceable,

I could never bring myself to spring for the all-copper

I don't have a cramped ITX case and never will.
>heatpipes
What century are we in? I don't want a shitty block of heat inside my case.

it's copper plated aluminum

Not that

heatpipes are literally filled with a liquid that turns into a gas and transfers heat better than water you idiot.

they only became mainstream in 2007 or some thing.

they literally killed the watercooling scene the only people who do it now do it for aesthetics. I had a friend with a huge rad and looking at small civic welded rads in the early-to-mid 2000s and would buy 200-250$ custom made blocks from a guy in Australia. he completely stopped watercooling when heatpipes showed up because a big 2stack cooler with heatpipes is the same as a rad you idiot.

Wouldn't aluminum plated copper be more effective?

yes

Procedurally-generated dissipation designs.

Literally meme-tier
>aerodynamic
Why talk about shit you don't even understand you underage faggot?

>Hyperthreading adds security holes
Ftfy

There are a lot of brainlets on this board

Discontinued CR-95C
God, I love that I can keep a 90W CPU silent.

lol retard who just realized heatpipes are more efficient at moving heat than water and a stack of fins off them is exact same as radiator. guess you just wasted 600$ on EK stuff didn't you.

I guess you are a brainlet yourself. I was agreeing with you.

this setup would literally cool just as good as even the best watercooling and only cost like 40$ a heatsink and 1x pci flexable riser for 30$ 150$ total lewl. sure you can get cheap as shit watercooling from aliexpress for that price but you obviously brought expensive western shit.

I agree with you too. superior brainlets we are.

>pipes filled with fluid transfer heat better than normal metal coolers with large surface area to dissipate heat
what?

heat pipes in heatsinks transfer the heat to the fins which are the same as a watercooling radiator more efficiently than water transfers the heat to the radiator.

you can get coolers that have as many fins as a 2x1 or even 3x1 radiator.

that's why water cooling is a meme. and running more than 3x1 radiator or multiple radiators doesn't help really.

they work better because they get the heat away faster and normalize the heat and stop it going up and down so much

a setup with the fins directly on the heat source works as well but doesn't "soak" heat changes as well which is the main problem. people use them in small/server builds but they not as good for lifespan as components as getting the heat away as fast as possible.
'
they can keep the temps low but when they spike they struggle to soften the blow

I'm not talking about water coolers. I'm saying how the fuck would these "heat pipes" dissipate heat better than completely metal heat sinks with a large surface area? Why even have a fluid on the heatsink?
>they get the heat away faster
Fluid transfers heat better than metal now?
>stop it going up and down so much
Literally, what? Some fans on the case along with the heatsink will take of heat easily enough. And even for a "silent" build, a large enough heatsink with a suitable metal and a meme-tier large surface area would be more than enough. Where and why do these "heat-pipes" come in? Sounds just as autistic as water cooling desu. Sounds better than water cooling, but autistic, nonetheless.

Or do they just do it to use cheaper metal and to get some sort of circulation going between the base-plate to the "fins"?

for what reason?

mentioned instead of Anyways, checked it out and apparently, they use copper powder inside the pipes and put some fluid in there so the steam will flow in there and circulate. Still not sure why the fuck they go though all of these hoops if not to just mazimize profits.

You talk like a retarded plebbitor.

lol yes the gas/fluit in heatpipes and watertubes transfer the heat away faster than metal you idiot. otherwise heatsyncs would just be a super long solid metal pipe leading up to the roof of your house.

I think it depends on the heat pipe. some are true vapor chambers some are prob cheaper and do other stuff. some are prob 100% fake and just aluminum or hollow pipes coated in copper.

They probably ran some kind of genetic algorithm using the heat dissipation capacity as the fitness function.

The capacity, in turn, must have been determined by thermodynamic simulations. Pretty cool.

For dummies: Let a computer design the best heatsink it can come up with.

>)
Have they actually tested it in real world? Is it any good?

Sorry, don't know the specific study that user posted, I just think that's how they made it

Why is that getting shilled, I swear this is like the third thread i've seen of that heatsink

if you use your computer for any extended period of time under heavy load, water is still king. those small heatpipes can only displace so much heat. while water can handle heat absorb and transfer a greater deal of heat while staying near ambient.

Suppose you 3D print one and slap it on your processor, how would you add the fans or it wouldn't need any?

Fans mounted above it via case.

I see. Very interesting. Wonder how it would perform.

I'll be real mad if they didn't. What would be the point of simulating it if you're not going to test the validity of the simulation.

Air cooling moves more air around the case which is beneficial for keeping the entire system cool. Air cooling has less points of failure than water cooling. With air cooling, the fan may break and then you just replace the fan. Water cooling systems have issues with leaks or pump failure. Good air coolers are quiet anyways.

no it cant lol seriously the shit you say to yourself to justify your 500$ watercooling setup.

look at the benchmarks man the top noctua out performs even a 1x4 radiator.

fug that's pretty cute
it's also neato that they allow a fan
would buy 2bh
