That's pretty sweet. 179 pounds is a lot, but it sure looks good.

I wonder...does it cool worth anything? Doesn't look like much surface area considering the size.

Wow! That is very impressive. It kind of reminds me of the warp core on the Starship Enterprise!

Now thats what I call a good idea... Did you look at the temps? Their pretty competitive... All the power of watercooling with almost no hassle...

Now who is gonna be the first to buy one, stick in a monster pump and hook it up to a WW???

He mentioned a RBX and large heater core but that was it.

According to specifications the waterblock has a goldplated copperbase

Click to expand...

Gold?

Zalman has chosen to combine copper and aluminum in the block which can cause corrosion

Nothing like corrosion to speed up thermal transfer.

Looks != performance.
