October 8, 20169 yr Author Lets hope it's as efficient and quiet as they say, once Coolermatser have it in production. Heat sink and fan combined, why add a fan when you can spin the entire heat-sink. Quite inspired actually.
October 8, 20169 yr Looking forward to seeing some reviews and comparisons to traditional heat sink and fan coolers. My computer: ABS Gladiator Gaming PC featuring an Intel 10700F CPU, EVGA CLC-240 AIO cooler (dead fans replaced with Noctua fans), Asus Tuf Gaming B460M Plus motherboard, 16GB DDR4-3000 RAM, 1 TB NVMe SSD, EVGA RTX3070 FTW3 video card, dead EVGA 750 watt power supply replaced with Antec 900 watt PSU.
October 9, 20169 yr Author The Phonomic Hex 2 is an interesting cooler. A conventional air cooler but with the addition of a TEC. [Thermometric cooler] As always condensation is an issue with a TEC, so software is included with that in mind and stops the base becoming too cold. It's not an awesome cooler, won't compete with the best AIO or tower air coolers, but nice that new tech is being tried. At the moment, this guy matches the smaller 120 rad AIO's. Will be very interesting when they release a bigger cooler that will challenge the best.
October 9, 20169 yr Me too, think it will be a while yet, as it's still a prototype. It's just gone into production by Thermaltake - http://www.thermaltake.com/products-model.aspx?id=C_00002957. Not sure what happened to the deal with CoolerMaster. It's designed for a 1U server chasis and it's only rated for 70W TDP (i7-4790K is rated at 88W TDP, i7-6700k is rated at 91W TDP, both at base frequency). i7-14700k | Asus ROG STRIX Z790-F Gaming WIFI | 32GB DDR5 RAM | MSI RTX 4080 Super | WD Black SN850X 1TB & 2TB | Corsair HX1000i ATX3.0 | MSI MAG401QR 40" monitor | Win 11 Pro 64-bit | Meta Quest 3

Thanks for that. :smile: Looks like they need to make a beefier version for enthusiasts, It's a start though, hopefully they have a higher performing version in mind.
