has anybody seen a water block that kinda has a small radiator attahed to it so you can kinda run water throught eh rad wich is attached toyour' water block- soit get s hot, and have some fans on it then after it passes out if the wb then you have you'r rad for just plain cooling you'r water? i was thinking but now that i really think a bout it it might be a little overkill but not in a good was as the air and to the wb/rad combo would be ambient so it would just kinda be jst cooling to or just above ambient wich you might get anyway-i gotta go to class and get off this scary evil satanic school iMac:mad:

:D :D

the mac is the first computer to be classed as a wepon by the US, i was so dissapointed when mine didn't do anything:

i can only think of two things, the Zen radiator heatsink and this: https://www.overclockershideout.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=o&Product_Code=RHPWC&Category_Code=WB

oh and becooling ( www.aquastealth.com ) sell a heatsink to go on top of there waterblock

im thinking differnt fro the Zen - it uses evaporative stuff - i saw a post that wondered abou that and that is what it dose- well- im thinking just a rad that works as a heatsink but has water throgh it -so you get good surface area- and is then attacked toa wm that is in line w/ the attached rad- it is jut as interesting though but i think it might be kinda redunden unless you hacve really cold air - wich would alos probably be cooling ht water so it woul stil kinda be althogh it may get you closer to ambient - but maybe not...?:D

For one, if you read our Australian counterpart's site, overclockers.au (I think). The Zen has a high chance of cracking your core, higher than Thermaltakes.

Now to your evaporative cooling thing, when I think evaporative two things come to mind, of course the bong cooler, which directly applies to water cooling, but a typical bong is too big to be on the waterblock. The second one is heatpipes, the new CoolerMaster heatsink emulates it abit, but unfortunately heatpipes are not used in watercooling setups, you can try, but it would take a lot of other unneccesary steps.

In one complete heatpipe system, they use the case it self as one big heatsink, running the heatpipes up and down the inside wall of the case. To do this effectively, you need to keep room temperature nice and cool and keep case temps quite low, that's why that system was not rated for P3s over 900MHz, because any hotter and it wouldn't work.

I had a similar idea to yours 3 months back:
