They probably could have used Galinston. I still need to get a thermometer to play with that stuff, but I see Liquid Laboratories is now coming out with a better mix of the stuff.

I digress...

Yeah, probably could be as effective as water cooling. Just that with water cooling there's alot more liquid volume to absorb the heat.
 
My old motherboard lived with 800g of copper on it for its entire life.

The backplates usually spread the weight anyway and motherboards are fairly flexible anyway.

However, I know what you mean, on my old motherboard I actually took a old PCI bracket cut and bent it and had it hold the heatsink in place against the PSU railing.
 
unless that thing it taking CPU temps down to under 10 degrees then i see not the reason for it.....

My CM Hyper 212+ is about that size and only have 1 fan. there is already liquid in the heat pipes, all this one does is have a magnet on the top, how is that supposed to attract heat? all it will do is attract the magnetic particles in the liquid, and then what, when they cool down does it release the magnetism and the particle go back down....

Looks kewl and all, but does not sound practical or logical.

Plus, most MOBO's are vertical in a MIDI case, so you'll have 1.2kg's of vertical pull on your mobo!
 
You're making silly assumptions of this being a particle suspended in fluid. If you read the article you'd get the jist of it.
 
I suppose nobody bought the Thermalright TRUE Copper either. :) It's an issue easily sorted out anyway. As mentioned, I ran a massive heatsink for years without an issue. If you're going to buy it for a vertical installation then ofcourse you take precautions.
 
I was keen until I saw the weight of it.
Mentioned it here on the forums at one stage too if memory serves me right :/
