That is pretty slick looking. I wonder what it will go for? "Under a 100 pounds" can be a lot! Buy why the steel connecting pipes instead of copper?
There are hot babes with clothes on...

The nickel-plated copper block base extends into heatspreaders to cover the RAM.meionm said:
Those tubes are stainless steel, btw.

It makes me want to use water cooling. and i think this will perform very well because of its size.

Thing with watercooling though is size isnt important. Flow rate and turbulance matter and most waterblocks have very small heat exchange area's. the ones that perform the best are typically smaller in size *the actual water channel* than the ones that dont.
If you wanna argue that though, that would mean that a thermaltake waterblock would outperform a storm or rbx, which obviously isnt the case.
I just hope that block performs to match its look really.

My thoughts exactly on the memory. Plus how is flow controlled on those two pipes coming from the core? Seems like the water will sit in that secondary block most of the time instead of keeping a steady flow. No matter the cost I think its a waste of money.
I disagree and you pretty much shot that statement down with your next sentence.
The flow going to the block plays a big part in how much turbulence the block has. Even the best designed block would show poor performance with a small tube or barb because there would be no pressure pushing the water over the design.
That waterblock comes from a german firm - Watercool.
They've allways made their gpu waterblocks that way, this means no full cover waterblock, so the ram is cooled passively through a copper plate that sits on top.
As for the heatpipes flow, it seems obvious that it must have an entry and an exit point, and won't just "sit there".Of course the only way to be sure is to buy one and disassemble it.

I want to know what is IN the block that cools... Channels? Micropins? What!?
