Look at this, its watercooling without any of the worrys of leaks and in so small a form you could put it anywhere, I should think manufacturers will be incorperating these into systems when the good ol fan just ain't enough.

And only £88.12 from the Overclockingstore.co.uk

Great Overclocking Potential To.:D

Heres the tech specs....

This revolutionary cooler may well change the way heatsinks are manufactured. Based on patented HeatLane technology, this sophisticated phase-change system acts like a mini watercooling system: heat is rapidly absorbed from the CPU, causing the liquid to change into a gas. This gas is spread throughout the radiator, where the twin fans cool it, returning it to a liquid.

Specification:

90W×86D×76H
350g
Suitable for Socket370/SocketA CPU (Pentium 4 in development
Twin 60x60x15mm NMB fans - 4600rpm / 19cfm / 34dBA
Easy mounting clip

Hi there,

I am also in the UK and am really interested in getting water cooling for my CPU, have you got one of these???

If so, any chance you could post your temps??

Also, do you think you would still have to have good case cooling or not.

Any replies much appreciated (water cooling seems hard to come by in UK)

Don't forget to check out how it actually performs.

waste of money in my opinion

I agree with Trey_w...

First off, it's not water-cooling.. It's small-scale phase change cooling...

Second, all the reviews I have seen rate it lower than the most common high-end HSFs.

It's a step in the right direction, but needs some major improvements...

In one of the reviews I read, they actually cracked the CPU core because the clamp design was so poor.

Don't waste your money.

Yeah, it does look like a potential waste of money, cheers guys.

It's basically just a heatsink with heatpipes as seen before and used in laptops etc. for years... nothing particularly new.

looks like a pretty standard heat pipe setup.

I notice you;re in the UK, MUCH cheaper to get water kit from www.tekheads.co.uk here, intl. shipping is NOT cheap once you take custom duty and tax into account.
