Am I wrong in thinking that "Circulating Heat" goes against the basics of cooling.....?

If they made that loop on the end SLIGHTLY bigger and put some fins inside it then gave you the option of a quiet little 40 mm fan they would be onto a winner tbh, could probably sell it as a standalone product.

I`m not overly groinily excited about this.

i dont think this is ideal, h/e its the same concept as ceiling fans it just circulates the heat, to bring it more to the ambient air temp(not quiet near thou)

Looks kinda gay.

but its pushing the heat along the heatsink to probly where its cooler. is that not a good thing.

h/e is however

Dunno if that would actualy work tbh

Confuzzeled!

I thought we are looking for better cooling, getting rid of heat.. not concealing it..?

From what I can see of the limited pics, it`s just a shaped heat sink, it won`t push any heat, it`ll just exhorb it and heat up. If u stuck a little fan either under it, i.e. by the base, or even @ 90 deg to the side of it, it will have a push.

ahh, thanks for clearing that up for me!
