SilverStone IceMyst AIO CPU Coolers Feature Stackable 70 mm Fans to Cool Around the CPU Socket

[btarunr]

A drawback of liquid-cooling your CPU has been to leave the other hot components around your CPU socket without a source of passive airflow. SilverStone is planning to address this, with their IceMyst line of AIO CPU coolers. These coolers feature puck-shaped pump-blocks, their top covers come off, so you could telescopically stack up a few fans. Each of these 70 mm fans comes with an 8-shaped frame, with one half of it stacking up with the block and providing the rest of the frame with 360-degree mobility, and the other holding the motor and impeller in place.

You can position them anywhere around the pump-block, so you can direct airflow to components such as the memory slots, VRM heatsinks, M.2 SSD heatsinks, etc. SilverStone even showed us an example of a stack with 7 of these fans. The IceMyst series comes in four models based on radiator size—240 mm x 120 mm, 280 mm x 140 mm, 360 mm x 120 mm, and 420 mm x 140 mm. By default, these coolers don't include any of those stackable fans, they're meant to be purchased separately as part of IMF70 IceMyst Upgrade Kits. SilverStone plans to launch the IceMyst AIO series, and its companion Upgrade Kits, in July 2023.

Neat concept and the fact that they can be positioned anywhere makes them useful for SSD cooling as well.

Oh Silverstone you silly goose

 

[ir_cow]

actually not a bad idea considering how hot the VRM and ram can get these days without some airflow.

I think that's an AI generated background image in picture number 3 judging by some of the strange characteristics going on.

It's easier on the eyes than an Antec Spotcool at least.

 

[Hxx]

this is a pretty awesome idea hope it picks up well for silverstone and we see more/improved designs

I really like this idea personally. I won't be buying one most likely due to cost, but I like the idea of it.

Yeah, the speaker on the right looks pretty interesting LOL

Yeah, the speaker on the right looks pretty interesting LOL

There's also the disturbing amount of tweezers or fountain pens in the bottom left.

There is no limit keep stacking.

I like this.

Yeah, reminds me of some things I've seen under the influence of certain chemicals, ha

Actually a really good idea for ITX cases specifically. These fans are going to be much quieter than these stupid whiny fans on some ITX boards.

The 7 stack version is a bit silly though, but I get the idea.

Won't be replacing my AIO anytime soon, but if pricing is reasonable I'll definitely consider it for my next build.

Well, just about anything is easier to look at than Antwec's stuff IMHO, cooler or otherwise....

it's a TIKI SPEAKER!

quite interesting concept ... i like it (the AIO stack fan, not the Tiki ... )

worse, a lot of them look like scalpels, which...isn't better or more reassuring in any way.

That green color reminds me of fava beans. Just needs a nice chianti.

In all seriousness, I wonder how many fans one can stack in a line before there's diminishing returns on cooling performance. Yeah I know it's not optimal compared to two fans rotating at different speeds with the intent of accelerating the airflow faster, but there were some quirky cooling benefits to stacking 2-3 fans on top of one another. I forget the science on it (it was a niche, extreme cooling option some OC'ers did way back when); but it was either more static pressure or more concentrated airflow, in a somewhat suboptimal way.
