Errr, ok.... Well mainstream water cooling is looking more and more realistic I suppose.

Finally, on-die cooling with support from the manufacturer! Without the extra material and the extra interfaces between materials, it must be a truly beefy way to go.

This was covered already on this thread (http://forums.procooling.com/vbb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=7745)

As I remember, you said this was BS and not practical at all! :p

Looking at this image (http://www.cooligy.com/images/workstation_fluid.jpg) seems that they ere talking about real small microchannels, something that confirm my guess that their pump can make a good lot of pressure. :cool:

Seemed to me this was slightly different than the other thread. Maybe not. I don't remember the silicone for the material and the 1000watt capacity being brought up before. Might have just missed it.

Hmmm... I still don't think it's practical for us to do as hobbyists, and I don't know that I agree with their wild claims. But, taking it at face value it sounds nice.

I still believe that this is not a technology that will be widespread in any near time frame.

But it's neat!

Yes, the pump can put out good pressure, 2 bar, I think they said, nearly 30 psi.

I think 1000 W cooling capacity is mostly marketing exageration. The only numbers I could find used a 130 W, one square cm chip and resulted in a heatsink temperature of 85 C and a junction (die) temperature of 110.

Not ready for ProCoolers.

Silicone and silicon are very different things. You're right, this is a bit different from the other thread where we discused about the pump technology, and now they released a PR about a working system, wich use a silicon microchannels block.

Here's a pic of a real prototype (http://www.cooligy.com/images/Cooligy_loop_merged.jpg) with a mounting plate that looks like a p4 support.

Anyway, the pump was said to be a glass disc, and glass is a form of silicon. ;)

gees people, that seems an aweful lot like what we are doing.... does it not :D What took them so long

said with the most extreme amount of sarcasm....

"three Stanford University mechanical engineering professors"

We have profs of our own... we are not afraid :)
