Carbon-Based CPU Cooler

Post by THE JEW (RaVeN) »

We all know that diamond has some incredible heat transfer abilities:

It looks like OCZ is trying to capitalize on that by using a directional carbon-based cpu cooler. The weaving of the heat tubes is pretty cool. Might be a viable alternative to water cooling.

Only expensive if they put a gold band around it and convince chicks it's the cat's meow ;)

That would be one hell of a ring...and it would keep your finger cool to boot!

Feh. Just make a cooling system out of gold. Ridiculously expensive, great heat conduction, and still heavy enough to convince your girl she's worth the 2,000 bucks you could have bought booze and strippers with.
Fear can hold you prisoner. Hope can set you free.

I believe they've modified this cooler to also use water:
