What the heck is this thing?

[FleshEating Bob]

This (http://24.57.97.130/cad/sink/mop_full.jpg) thing is...odd, to say the least? What is it? Some sort of homebrewed HSF? Looks like a bunch of metal octopi on the CPU...I think it's reaching for me...

[Gerst240]

what the heck !!! it looks like a bunch of twigs glued to a cpu! wonder what performance is like if any? maybe silent??

Where in the hell did you find that? If it's in your PC, maybe you were drunk and tried to make your PC quieter or something.

If you figure it out, don't tell me. I'm scared enough.

[ziptieboy]

Just a random guess,
but maybe somebody took the bottom of a heatsink and soldered pieces of metal onto it, so that it would increase surface area.
I dunno, wierd to say the least.

look like arc welding sticks to me.
id guess someone figured they would bond enough of them to make that horrible thing.
well i guess if it didnt cost anything nothing but my heart was hurt in the process :D

[zabomb4163]

whoa, that looks weird to say the least

Did a little searching and came up with THIS (http://24.57.97.130/cad/sink/mop.htm). Doesn't explain much but there are some more pictures. Looks like they took a waterblock and attached a whole bunch of weird things to it.. :)

Here is their site: http://24.57.97.130/cad/main.htm

I like some of their Antec mods.. :)

[pip]

looks like a cold plate with pieces of solder wire sticking out of it

[surlyjoe]

its actually a big ol peice of Aluminum cable soldered into a copper base, I made one a coupel years ago trying to make a passive heatsink, but it sucked :rolleyes:

Looks like a tree fell into his case

[Avatar28]

That has got to be the UGLIEST farking waterblock I have EVER seen.

[fiji]

ive seen one of those things a while ago, and yea not exactly sleek, but it does look cool imo

[stryder2720]

Could it be a redneck HSF?(JK)

[SinsFeelNatural]

Damn, that be mad ghetto, yo.

[SinsFeelNatural]

if that is a heatsink, i would think that drawing all that heat and being that close to the AGP slot would be bad news

[ThePerfectCore]

There's nothing IN the AGP slot. :rolleyes:

They look like welding sticks. Or.. They could be sticks from a tree. If they are from a tree I believe it should be called the "Hippie block".

[Sterculus]

i wonder what kind of temps he gets with that :rolleyes:

[GaultMaster]

nah its just the motherboard "coming of age". ahhh its times like these that makes you glad to be a programmer. your mother board grows up and reaches her first OC. treat her well. she wont be around much longer... LOL
