Black Ice Xtreme coming soon... very soon!

Kevin · 02-11-2002, 06:20 AM

I know many of us have been waiting for this badboy of a radiator... I sure have! Like i've said before, Willie and the guys @ HWLabs have retooled the original design of it for roughly 20% better performance than the first BIX, and they were recently finishing it up. I got an e-mail from Willie today saying...

"Hi there Kev. We've begun production for the Xtreme today. We finally finished the tooling issues are back well within the tolerances we've set."

I should be getting my paws on one of these in the not so distant future. I'll throw some pix up as soon as I get the BIX, but it will be a while before I can tell you how good it is as I am working on "the world's most compact implementation of watercooling"

: The Chilli Pro Case. Anyone know of a more compact job? Maybe i'm wrong.

Not that I know of anyone actually insane enough to try watercooling it, but this is the smallest case I've been able to find, other than that shuttle mini thing.

136mm W x 340mm D x 329mm H

It'd be a challenge

I was looking for a tiny case to use for a dedicated video capture/dvd/mp3 box.

I should clarify... I meant smallest ATX job

. Yeah that mATX case is pretty small. I wonder which one has the most room. The Chilli does look a bit more crowded, but that one definitely looks like more than a challenge as well.

triloybyte - hehe you bastard! I was intrigued by the link so i clicked it. That broke my streak of not visiting the hardforums. That was my first visit since august

. That's a RAD computer...

UnaClocker · 02-11-2002, 11:15 PM

haha, well when I clicked it the [s]lowforums were down as I remember them constantly being..

Guess you'll just have to start a new thread here if it's your machine.

Brad · 02-12-2002, 03:46 AM

yeah I've seen that case before, it is seriously nice!

Kev, you're wrong, many compaq's and HP laptops are watercooled. Just a copper baseplate, a pipe, and a radiator type arrangement. My laptop (a dell) is heatpipe cooled

Kevin · 02-12-2002, 04:01 AM

That's not watercooling... I doubt it has water in it first of all. Even if it does, it isn't "watercooling" as we know it.

Brad · 02-12-2002, 04:12 AM

hehe, trust me, some compaq laptops do have water in them, I've *ahem* broken one

iceheart · 02-12-2002, 06:43 AM

That's... um... Impressive of you, Brad!

Hedgren · 02-12-2002, 11:29 AM

Watercool the Shuttle SV24

Brad · 02-13-2002, 04:33 AM

that'd be fairly easy, it's only a Celly or P3 system, so you wouldn't need anything big or powerful at all

Kevin · 02-13-2002, 11:05 AM

It would be easy if you had an external radiator/fan/pump and stuff, but that doesn't count then because it is no longer compact.
