OneMoar, This is 90C at the core in an overclocked state and 100% synthetic load designed to create the maximum amount of heat the chip can produce. This testing methodology is the one used on most hardware review sites. I encourage you to read the review more closely. You are saying that 90C is...

You are correct! The cores were approaching 90C during the 100% load overclocked testing! This is the truth! They have awesome performance, but there is no way I could run that day in and day out! Hello GorbazTheDragon! The prototype in the review weighs the same as the Noctua NH-D14 that...

He is referring to the Gentle Typhoon fans that the V14 says it comes with. I used a pair of Gentle Typhoon AP-15 fans in my testing of a CoolClouds prototype unit. If you haven't heard of them before, They are considered by most enthusiasts to be the best radiator fans for water cooling. (Best...

Hello OneMoar! 1) I weighed the prototype in the review and it turns out its about 900g with 2 fans on it. For reference that's the same as the Noctua NH-D14 that is also in the test. In your opinion, is it dangerous to use a Noctua NH-D14 in a tower? 2) I was invited to tour the office, meet...

1) I'm with you. As an enthusiast, I would like to see the production model tested. However, I still liked the sneak peek at this tech and when they announced it months ago I wondered just how well it could perform. This was cool for a preview. 2) I just tested the prototype for enthusiasts, I...

I just reviewed the prototype, which is not for sale. But, as mentioned elsewhere, it looks like their projected retail price for the production model is $99 on their IndieGoGo. The CoolClouds team gave me the 1500g spec for the prototype, but weighing it it looks like it's about 900g. I guess...

Thanks Ed_1 and hello! I was kinda slammed by the negativity there a bit =) You are right though, I just wanted to share my objective data and subjective opinion about my experience with a prototype. I didn't review the production model and the prototype isn't for sale =) 1) A few people asked...

Hello Hellfire! I weighed the prototype and it is about 900g with the 2 fans on. That's actually the same as the Noctua Nh-D14! Beastly indeed! The prototype is unfinished copper. If you are looking for info on the production model, you'd have to check the IndieGoGo or their website at...

I remember something along these lines before as well... I believe it was before the AIO coolers with the "external" radiators really came into popularity. I will post if I find the one I am thinking of. Regarding patents, CoolClouds as a company has been making electronics coolers with this...

I apologize for the delay in my response. Lets begin!

Great observation! Unfortunately, the ASUS Maximus VI Impact motherboard has a unique 43mm tall voltage regulation board that the prototype was not able to clear. :) That is something that is unique to that particular motherboard and on all other motherboards, you will be able to mount the...

Hey there micropage7! The cables you are seeing on the cooler are likely the positive, negative, and rpm wire for the 3-pin connector the water pump uses. I actually like the fact that it is simplistic, yet complex at the same time. I especially like the part where it is much smaller, yet...

Introduction Hello everyone, and thank you for stopping by! Recently, I had a very unique and exciting opportunity present itself. Today, I would like to share the details of the experience with my fellow enthusiasts! Living in northern California comes with many perks (like amazing...
