DeepCool factory tour - very interesting

[BoggledBeagle]

Der Bauer published DeepCool factory tour, I must say I am impressed. BTW heatpipe manufacture is more complicated than I imagined, also did not expect that they check each cooler twice, they test each heatpipe and in the end each cooler on a heatplate.

I wonder for what brands they make coolers...

Kudos for keeping at least the cost of the final products relatively low. 30-40$ for a cooler given this complex process is really good.

But this only goes to show that they must move to less complex productions. They must innovate. This is like 1800s - early 1900s technology!

What do you mean? Making mechanical stuff does not change - for example making sheet metal parts is going to look similar for centuries.

I do not think through the video I noticed anything "out of date" or indicating a lack of innovation.

By chance I recently examined two of their coolers, AG620 and Assassin IV, and was very impressed by them and their performance, their coolers perform better than current Noctua coolers. Assassin IV is considered to be one of the best or even the best air cooler available today.

I mean getting rid of those bulky heatisnks and going to something tiny and extremely efficient, like AirJet(R).

Air jet has a huge problem with dust. It may work in some lab clean air enviroment or sealed product enclosure, but in the real world it is useless.

Air jet has a huge problem with dust.

I don't think so.

The vibrating material is waterproof and dustproof, and AirJet already has functioning dust filters for the individual cooling units, down to one micron. Testing in windy, dusty chambers has shown that even in the most extreme conditions the AirJet’s performance isn’t adversely affected. Similar testing for heat, cold, humidity, and longevity shows the product is ready for the long haul.

useless.

I think the bulky classic heatsinks are useless, but everyone with their priorities.

I don't think so.

They would be everywhere if they were good.

Here is your problem, you need clean air for the thing to work reliably. You need to carefully clean the air before it enters the unit.

You do not have any special air quality requirements for normal heatsinks, and when they get dusty, just suck the dust out with a vacuum cleaner.

Companies are hungry for any competitive advantages and are constantly testing and searching for them. They must have already tested air jets and found them not performing well enough, not reliable enough or too expensive. It really does not matter which one of these three reasons was the most important.

THIS DEBATE DOES NOT BELONG HERE.

Complete nonsense. The technology was showcased last year for the very first time, and it needs to ramp up, to set up production capacities. When this happens, there will be more and more products with it.
Apple is first to use it.

This company just put the air in Apple’s MacBook Air

I think those are 620 coolers at 23:47.

BTW when Roman says "tiny drop of water" I believe he means few ml.

The look in the warehouse at the rows of pallets of semifinished coolers is unbeliable. To the right Assassins and in the front and back 620s.

The topic of air jet cooling is interesting, however it does not belong in this thread!

You can see the white dense air filters on the air jets. If they will be placed in a sealed enclosure, they may work. This is what I said and it is correct. You put this thing in a free air and those air filters will be clogged in a few days.

They've got a pretty clean factory it looks like. It's less dingy than the Coolermaster one that GN toured a while ago.
