James DuBois disassembled his Quad down to the heat exchanger and CPU daughtercard and was ever so kind to take some photos:

...what....

so....i'm not to familiar with mac..apple..etc...what, exactly....is that BEAST of hardware and cooling which i do not know what it is but for some reason am urged to sell my car so i can affford to build one..or something like it...please, do tell
 
...

that is truely beautiful
 
WTF kinda of cooling system is that- I thought prescotts needed big heatsinks :laugh:

Looks like Apple needs entire life support systems :roll:
 
its called "liquid cooling" guys, not that nuts. I just wish i could see the internals of their waterblocks.
 
...

I Was Kinda Wondering Myself...i'd Hate To See Such Giant Water Sys. Like That Wasted To Bad Internal Tubing......and NO, i didn't think it was some mystical thing like your response suggested....judgement is not something to be handed out lightly my friend, and usually it's best use is in the mirror....

anyway...still i say...that looks badass
 
Thats a strange looking watercooling system. What are those blocks with the yellow warning labels all over them? Maybe Apple doesnt run water through it, instead some artificial fluid that lasts a long time...

Its probably warning labels to keep people from trying to open them..

Apple once again creates an amaazing thing :)

That guy has some serious nuts to take that sucker apart lol. :respect:
 
they probably also use special tubing (that stuff doesn't even look like tubing...) that's impermeable to water vapor (unlike your average clearflex and, IIRC, tygon). really want more details, but oh well. block innards, details about the HX (size, FPI, etc). I'll also assume that there are case fans or something that line up with those HXes.
