Hi all:
___There is finally a liquid cooling solution for the T-Bird’s/XP xx00’s available without the mess of small compressors/evaporators/HS’s/and tubing in and around your case. It is called the CPU Radiator Zen and has some very unique features. The cost is out of reach in comparison to an air-cooled solution but it is ~ ½ of the cost of some of the better liquid cooling solutions available today. The air-cooling $65.00 Silverado’s and $40.00 – fan’s Alpha 8045’s work very nicely even with 1.4 GHz T-Birds using very low noise fan setups but the Zen Radiator may even beat those depending on the fans chosen if modifiable … At ~ $105.00, its not cheap and the stock 4500 rpm fans do not sound all that quiet by the two reviews I have read on them this morning but eventually, this may be the answer for the ever increasing higher frequency CPU’s on smaller DIE’s or heat-spreaders to achieve both excellent thermal results as well as a hopefully extremely quiet cooling solution. Again, I do not believe this is as quiet a solution in its present form in comparison to the Alpha and Silverado mentioned above but it is a step in the right direction for those considering liquid cooling in some form for both thermal performance as well as a more acceptable dB output. If the price were to come down and we could house some 80 mm Panaflow/Papst/Sunon/PC Power & Cooling Silencer in a slightly bigger housing, this may very well be a solid HTPC cooling solution at low dB output.
