I hope that this isnt too uncivil, but I want to have my fun just once before this turns into a pron site.:shrug:

And we would have liked to see the inlet hole slightly larger which at its present size acts to restrict the flow into the block.
|
Apparently they have yet to realize that the acceleration of the water hitting the fins is a benefit.

And as above the inlet should as in this picture be positioned to the very left of the fins and not in the centre for maximum heat transfer.
|
Doesnt the acceleration of the water (which is disliked above) turbulently force the water to either side?

We would also have liked to see the Cyclone SE S462 & S487 copper base thicker so as to act even better at transferring the heat from the processor.
|
We should tell Cathar to make the WW base thicker too. The fact that the heat needs to go into the water not the baseplate is of no importance.

would mean that the all important fins could be made higher for better cooling

And the design samples backing that up are he..r...

We have to say straight off that this SilverProp Cyclone SE S462 & S478 water block is designed for 1/2 diameter water pipes that use much more powerful pumps than the one inside the Thermaltake Aquarius III
|
Are they telling us that the Aquarious's pump would be insufficient for use with the SP, or are they telling us that they USED the Aquarous's pump in conjunction with the SP.

The top body could easily be made from a strong plastic and with 3/8 inch diameter pipe fittings to dramatically reduce the weight and allowing the copper base plate around the fin area to be thicker.
|
Wow, he actually thinks SP had no other choice but to make the plate sooo thin...

Also if aluminium was used for the top cover and cast with fins a small fan could be fitted for even more cooling. You could imagine the water pipes at either end with the fan in between them.
|
And how exactly would the heat travel to the top fins? Perhaps through the O-ring, or through some TIM along the edges of the block.
WOW
I will make sure my brother will never read A1 electronics.net
