Hey, for the low low cost of several hours, and probably a few hundred $, you can have one of these yourself.

Wonder how much beter it is than the PAL6035?

omg to seksy!
I want one, oh well I'll just settle for my Globalwin Cak II 38

If my response is brief and vague its because the info you provided is too!

I expect if you stick a 235cfm fan on a zalman 3000 you'll get similar results. Oh, and a professional product that doesn't weigh 6lbs

yeah

law of diminishing returns
there comes a point where the heat sink cannot be any more efficient as you can only transfer heat away as fast as the transmission coefficient of copper.

thats where u really need a high thermal conductivity medium thats also mobile...
or for the layman out there, water.
plus the temp gradien tis also steeper

I think water with a high silver content would probably work the best.

Wow, that's one motivated guy. More work than I'd be willing to do. I think I'll stick with my AX-7, it's doing fine. And all I had to do to get it was type in my credit card number and click the "submit order" button :smile:

well at the end of the review he said he used a potentiometer to reduce the fan noise to whisper quiet... and i bet with that 160mm fan it was still pushing out 100cfm or so.

interesting idea.. but not too practical.
micronised solid silver would corode like buggery... and i really wouldnt want something like a silver nitrate solution running around in my water system. probably corrode stuf and i doubt u could get the concentration high enough to make a difference.

This is why a diamond heatsink would make the best cooling solution ever. It's thermal conductivity and transmission rate are unbelievable. In fact, thermal transmission is one of the biggest uses of diamonds today. Someday, I hope to have the expenses to blow on an industrial sample of diamond to forge my own diamond heatsink... though how I could cut small fins in the block I will have to figure out later.

one step at a time, you could get a block of silver and do the same thing this guy did.

i went to the tomshardware forums and all i got was this lousy signature.

the thing about that is that alluminum copper and silver are hardly more thermally conductive than each other. Even between silver and aluminum, your heat dissipation is more subject of the shape and design of the heatsink than anything else.
