Watercooled heatpipe CPU heatsink - Page 2

hmm. sorry to hijack the thread kinda, but what if instead of making a container around the heatsink, you saw off the top of the heatpipes, drain the fluid inside them, weld on a bunch of reducers, and run your liquid cooling through the heatpipes?

Essentially it will be like a radiator+waterblock combined?

No, it'll simply be slightly worse performance than the original heat transfer material inside the heatpipes.

Essentially this is a WC setup but with the radiator in direct contact with the heat source, thus the "radiator" can't radiate any heat because it doesn't have an medium to do so.

Cool idea, but in theory a passive system with just a radiator and no fans will cool better.

I think this will not be better than using a typical waterblock because the heat transfer surface area between water and the heated area is less than a typical waterblock's (hundreds of pins).

My idea is to discard the push/pull fans (blowing air over the fins to remove heat) and use water to cool the fins.

I think you misunderstand the setup.
It does not involve any 'radiation' at all. Heat is transferred up the heatpipes and then to the fins which are cooled by flowing water.

yes, but what cools the water? Eventually the heat MUST be dissipated to the air. That's what radiators are for - to convert the heat from water into the air.

Oh! I see you are worrying that end of the loop.
Water is to be cooled by a radiator+fans....just a normal regular watercooling system.

Basically, the idea is to replace a traditional waterblock (with numerous internal pins or micro channels to provide surface area for heat transfer) by the following pic.
Or, the idea is to replace the push/pull fans of a heatsink with water cooling.

there is a huge conversation on this over on xs, the block in question was sent to skinnee and it was proved in effective. The block in question was much better designed for the purpose too. It is really a good idea and every tinkerer has thought of it one time or another but it is a big waste of time. Keep up the out of the box thinking however this time it would be in your best interest to move on with a different project. It will not out perform the cheapest waterblock you can find. So your better off getting a waterblock.

This is one concern of mine and you have rightly point it out.

Could you provide the XS link please?
