At the very least it's the same idea.

This one looks like they've also got the northbridge in there too, though.
Notice the second set of heatpipes in the front?

I 'suspect' the 138mm "heatsink" dimension is the overall height but
Thermaltake doesn't make it entirely clear. But, considering that a 90mm
fan is 90mm on a side, it looks about right from the picture. I.E. a little
less than 'half a fan height' from the base to the bottom of the fan plus
some excess heatpipe above it.

You may want to do some research at both pricewatch, to get the best price,
and thermaltake because they have more than one. In particular, if you go
to their DIY section they have the same thing (although the dimension says
145.5mm instead of 138mm), sans fan, made in all copper.

These folks

http://www.excaliberpc.com/product_info.php?cPath=167_632_636&products_id=3743

carry it for $49.99.


Thermaltake shows the aluminum version in a DIY kit too but I haven't found
anyone who carries that one.

I guess these would put you in the "small elephant" heatsink class ;)

Dunno about small elephant, but the size of an engine for a
quarter-scale Boeing 747?

Now, imagine that you have a dual-CPU board with two of these monsters
doing the cooling.

I'm intrigued by this design, but I'm holding on to my euros and my
dollars until after some of the hobby site review this beast.

I would say that's a joke..
It looks like it's just a plastic fan housing to me (nothing heavy)
U can see a 80x80 on the back and heatpipes coming up the middle.. but
nothing really heavy at all.

I cant see anything like this ever coming to market BUT it could be real
(like something to give great flow and added turb over the heat spreader).
But anyhow.. never know

You didn't look close enough then because a pair of internal heatsinks are
visible through the upper housing and nice bright copper shines through the
front fan blades.

Ideal would be if that rear fan housing lined up with the case's rear fan
mount for direct exhaust.

But at 21 db it's certainly not 1/4 scale noise though.

The thermaltake design? There are reviews. Here's one:

http://hi-techreviews.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=42

Should note that the point to the "silent tower," as the one you were
looking at on the bigfoot site is called, is to be quiet and not
necessarily the 'coolest' solution.

Yes, I'm wondering if this is a dual-cpu board? Is it an Intel-cpu
board at all? The visible chipset appears to be a VIA southbridge, maybe
for a 754 board.

The processor heatsink section, what little is visible, resembles, as
someone else also noted, the thermaltake heatpipe tower. I can't tell if
that's 'two separate' fin assemblies for the processor set of thermal pipes
or if it's simple cut in a bit at the middle like the thermaltake is.

http://www.thermaltake.com/coolers/comboCool/cl-p0024tower112/cl-p0024tower112.htm

And, just guessing but, the front pipes look to me like they're on the
northbridge.

Impossible - there are many different case config.s.
But there's nowt to stop you using a duct.

I am aware of that but that doesn't mean they couldn't team up with a
clever case manufacturer to offer a complete package.

Bends reduce the airflow.

Can't find any reviews reference the orientation, anyone seen figures
on desktop [ vertical ] - versus - [ horizontal orientation ] tower
use ?

Well, I don't see any that 'discuss' it either but I'd be stunned beyond
description if it didn't work in a tower case, seeing as how that's the
vast majority of the market, and it's a slam dunk no problem in a desktop,
from an orientation standpoint that is.

Sorry, that came over as short sharp and belligerent, and was not
meant that way. Nipped home for a quick cuppa - no time !

Heatpipe technology needs gravity to operate, and whilst Tt design
staff are prolly excellent I will still need to see what % loss there
is twixt the vertical & horizontal operation of the pipes.

There are a few different heatpipe configurations out there that you'll need
to consider really. The main thing to think about is "Normal" vs "Other"

You have 3 that are not standard heatpipes, One creates a basic pressurised
flow based on the expansion (AeroCool Dp 101 and 102).
Some are just made so that no matter what orentitation you put the unit in
SOME of the heatpipes will be working (it wouldnt be as good as desktop)
Then some use the Meandering Capillary tube (ehh I think that's what it's
called).. I did a lot of reading on the last and I think maybee it was
called something like Akasari Heat Pipe (dont quote me).. It just loops the
heatpipe to the heat source a few times and then connects it on both ends,
so you get a constant flow in all directions (but pressure would remain
constant I think). This gives for heat flow in any direction..

I have a DP-102 (would have loved to of tried a raditor zen or Scythe
Heatlane Zen (both use the pulshating heatpipes)) and It seems to work well
in both directions (h & v) but I find that it's weight actually tilts it off
of the processor when the tower is stood upright (I can apply pressure with
my fingers and I find that the temps are the same)

I think it IS a 'given' for a consumer product, which was my point.

A proper heatpipe also has a wick and is not dependent on gravity to
operate. Now, putting the dern thing upside down would be a problem, since
you'd be fighting 100% against gravity, but not horizontal.
