Thermaltake Presents the New Heatpipe Memory Cooler – Spirit RS

[PV5150]

Thermaltake has a crack at passive memory cooling. I won't be using them, but perhaps they may find a place in your rig. Comments? Feel free to voice your opinion below...

Thermatake saw OCZ's new solution and though "Yeah let's copy that"??

I like the way that on the techincal drawing it shows the heatpipe and fins being perfectly parallel with the heatspreader - but on the actual picture its wonky!

Good job TT!

 

[FragTek]

Wow, this reminds me of a line that I used on another TT product a while ago....

I wish I could click my fingers and make TT disappear, it doesnt look very effective, there is no need for the heatpipe, a simple mounted - well made HS would be just as efficient and take up less space. Furthermore, the build quality on that looks dire.

do they not realise a bent heatpipe like that just WOULDNT WORK. The whole point of those things are to let the gel evaporate, floating to the top of the pipe where it consenses and drops to the bottom again.

Whats going to happen here is in time all the gel from the side with the spreader is going to gather on the side with the fins on, not evaporating. Therefore rendering the thing totaly usless.

And on a totaly appreanced bases note, those fins look like a bog brush.

It's just found an new meaning in life...

Dont tell that to my "bent" Zalman Heatpipe video cooler. Thing works like a charm. Or rather any other video card heatpipe cooled solution for that matter. Like the one found on my 7950GT.

Someone decided to be argumentative today, erm... everyday.

Almost every heatpipe out there is curved in some sort of way. Let's be a retard today and say it sucks.

It doesnt look that good tbh, kinda looks like something i'd make.

 

[NickS]

OCZ didn't make anything like this either, unless you're talking about their FlexLC or whatever.

Thermaltake copied Thermalright. See Here --> http://www.thermalright.com/a_page/main_product_hr07.htm

 

[FarFarAway]

OCZ ARE going to make something like this Nick, which is what FlexLC is

It's thermaltake and let's just take a stab in the dark saying yes it almost certainly will suck

Personal experience says it will suck

I think you are forgetting that the ram coolers in the picture are mounted at 90* when installed, meaning the gel will pool in one end. On the Zalman it is mounted at 0* meaning the fluid can do its job via convection + displacement when its state changes

True.

I have dissected TT heatpipes in different coolers and they use sintered metal inside their pipes (no fluid or jell). In theory this should work, BUT what the heck were they thinking with that LOUSY pict?

I love the look of the Thermalright though, thanks NickS

Lol you make it sound like a biology project hehe.
