Was looking at this tonight after looking for watercooling products and is there anyone out there familar with this or simular products and maybe recomend me one.

I've played with one for a little bit. They keep the idle temps down pretty good (23/24°C). And on load, with 1.5v, the E6600 I tested it on stayed at around 49-52°C through a few hours of testing.

Yeah from all the reviews ive seen of these they perform fairly well but dont have a good price/performance ratio. Most Higher end air coolers perform withing a few degrees of it and for a lot less,

So they are not very consistent in temps but do they work better or the same as a good watercooled system

I am cuious to know how easy it may be to make one? I mean if you have two similar tower type coolers. Cut the fins in half but leave the base as a whole on each cooler. Then mount the two a TEC, one on the cool side and one on the hot. The fan should blow through the cool side of the HS first then onto the hot side of the HS. This way the cool fins cool the hot fin cool enough to make air cooling adequate for a TEC. If you were to mount a TEC between your CPU and say a Tuniq tower if would malfunction and kill your CPU and possible your MB. The TT was not designed to cool the thermal wattage of the TEC. This can be fixed by taking a copper base and mounting say 4 half heatpipes on the bottom of the base but all the way to the side. Enough to the side so that a TEC can fit on top. The take another base and mount 4 top mounted heatpipes, and them mount that base to the other side of the TEC. Esencially sandwiching the TEC between two...half tower style heat sinks you get it. The the cooler side has a fan the blows through to the hot side cooling it with sub ambient air.

EDIT:
If you were to take two of these (I picked this one because the top of the base is flat like the bottom) and cut them in half except the base but including the heastpipes so that the flat top is fully exposed. You could then do exactly as discribed, at this point I guess you could just buy a TEC and all the stuff that you need for a TEC to run. Mount it all together and away you go. On the other hand this would not work as the top of the base has groves. mounting a TEC to that would cause issues due to the poor surface area coverage.

most 1/2 descent watercooling loops perform better than this. Do a search for reviews and you'll see

I have one and it gives me very good temps, even with crappy thermal paste (sub-ambient idles)

They're a little expensive but cheaper (and much less of a project than) your typical water cooling setup. They're hardly a gimmick.

One thing WCing has over these is that you can always expand the system...add blocks for GPU and such.

It's a complete rip off. Just get a thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme. It will cool just as well for 1/2 the price.

Disagree, the TEC Aircooler that the poster have asked is very good one. Keep the temp down better than the Utltra 120 Extreme
