I reiterate; show the head-to-head testing against watercooling!

Final Product?

Too expensive and it ruins aesthetics... Gotta love that picture with it covering some RGB RAM and the very bottom of it is visible from the angle they took the picture.

To be fair, that's not a bad solution for cases that are space limited for a rad, especially old designed cases.  Some people love their old cases from back in the day.  Just enough air flow could make this work but it will eventually become a dust bunny.

Can anyone easily weigh their 2080ti Kingpin or 2080ti FTW.
 
I suspect they are pretty close to the weight of this cooler. And the five pound weight was for the prototype I believe so the finished product should be much lighter.

+1 for that clickbait title
 
It is an interesting product, gotta admit that. And that name - IceGiant ProSiphon Elite :D

overkill in the extreme
 

it uses a diaelectric  fluid - which means its much less efficient than water (water is always best)
 meaning you would need a much bigger rad to accomplish the same task - you need more surface area to cool and more airflow
 
this will also leak - evaporation of fluid to gas causes pressure and leakage too - unless we have a solder tight and then plastic sealed
 
all it does is remove "some" moving parts and some electric use for pump

Checked out the specs, did not see anywhere it says how much heat it can remove (BTU/hr).
 
Waiting for someone to buy one when it is released and do comprehensive head-to-head testing against a similarly priced AIO.

 
1290g equals 2.84# max. Not too heavy and I don't see any concerns expressed by the developer.
Max noise 38dBA
 
They could be on to something here.

Bruh... when he said Delta fans.... I cower in fear

High CFM Delta case fans a pure ear cancer.

i hate noise too...
 but those delta... they sure are THE Stuff in terms of cfm inside your pc case!!

Can someone please show me how this is different than existing heatpipe technology? The product page where they try to explain why it is unique, describes a heatpipe in almost every way. Only thing that is missing is "sintered" or "grooved" or "mesh". So, what's the big deal? It's inferior to a heatpipe because it requires gravity to bring the coolant back to the evaporator instead of capillary action? That's a selling point? A product which will be more fickle about orientation, is a selling point?

Heat from the CPU boils liquid inside the evaporator - vapor flows up to the condenser

Cool air flows through the condenser and liquifies the vapor

Gravity drives the liquid back to the evaporator, and the cycle repeats

I don't get it.  It's a fickle heatpipe.

whisper is 15 decibels
a loud person is 60 decibels
a lawnnower 85
 
a normal conversation is around 40-50 decibels
 
that is not gonna be quiet
 
you are also forgetting fluid weight add 1-2lbs - i mean it has to have about 1L which is 2.2lbs
could also be a heavier fluid too
 
so you are looking at 5lbs
 

Not sure what decibel charts you are looking at or where you get the idea you have to add fluid.
 
The system's max weight is listed and the dielectric fluid is included in the total weight. Also you are a bit off on your sound decibels. It is ok if you think the cooler is crap. But why make stuff up?
 
293 × 381
 
513 × 1024
 
403 × 523
 
759 × 326
 

Xavier brings up a great point! 
 
What is the FPI on that thing? 
 
Are they using Noctuas to push through that? (Of course not.)
 
Yes, water does add considerable weight.  I know what my rig feels like with 1 1/2 Liters of fluid in it and without.  You could feel the difference.  lol
 
And if I had to guess, my old man is about 80+ DBs...

ever walk into a pet store and hear like 20 birds chirping none stop - budgies,luv birds canaries
if my computer sounded like that id probably shoot it- just to silence it(because it would drive me crazy) - let alone go - "Damn" that sounds like a sick puppy
 
 
my argument was the weight - aluminum rad gonna be 3x+ more weight than the fans remember they added more fins and cooling tube too - more dense (2 mostly plastic fan& 2 motors vs a 1 huge aluminum rad, stand and cpu heatsink)
 
they could also add a fluid level indicator and a refill cap....maybe sell coolant
 

WOW!
 
I don't think you realize how angry you come across with your posts.
 
Like I said, you don't have to like or dislike this product. It is something new and interesting but I guess I'm having a hard time understanding your view when there isn't any factual basis for your complete hatred of this product, especially as you say, there isn't any independent testing.
 
I don't believe you have looked at the product's Specs page closely enough as it does describe the products total weigh with fans, fluid (dielectric fluid- No water), and system as being 1290g (2.84 pounds). So it will not require any addition fluids (water) as you suggested or additional fans to bring the weight up to your five plus pounds.
 
As far as the 1290g force on the MB. There doesn't seem to be any warnings labeled onto this product for one to be concerned with any more than a five pound plus SLI configuration hanging onto a MB.
 
The build is all aluminum which works well with dielectric fluids. While copper may be preferable in some instances, aluminum will work better with this product and the dielectric fluid than would water. The thermal process described may have been tested with better results with this combination, I don't know, or any combination of decisions including cost.
 
As far as your 20 birds chirping being loud. Unless you plan on attaching 20 of these units to you computer I again find it hard to understand your logic. The discussion is about a new technology that will obviously either improve over time or fail or work relatively well as advertised.
 
Have a nice day.

And this product is in line with most of the Air Cooling solutions with respect to noise and weight. None of these products seem to have any issues with the weight on the MB either. And they all appear to be Aluminum blocks as well.
