    An Enthusiast Review of CoolClouds' Revolutionary CPU Cooler Prototype

    Hello Micrornd, I'd like to request that you just refer to me as TheHobbyist, my account name here. I didn't volunteer my real name and I ask that you respect my privacy. I'm just an ordinary guy. It took me a lot of my free time to test the coolers and write up the review. I was...

    An Enthusiast Review of CoolClouds' Revolutionary CPU Cooler Prototype

    Hello VSG! That's too bad but no hard feelings. I would have likely drawn the same conclusions in your situation in retrospect. The forum moderator did just jump in and delete it immediately. However, I have been in contact with both the moderator and the management to clear up the...

    An Enthusiast Review of CoolClouds' Revolutionary CPU Cooler Prototype

    This cooler is a prototype that is not for sale and will not be for sale. As so, no price for it. Their goal is to provide a cooler using this technique for enthusiasts, if they are interested. Check out http://coolclouds.net for more info. Cheers!

    The thread was locked at TechPowerUp because certain members could not control their behavior and could not stay on the topic of the OP. Regarding me "registering on numerous forums to post this stuff" I have already replied to that accusation, please read the contents of the threads you are...

    An Enthusiast Review of CoolClouds' Revolutionary CPU Cooler Prototype

    I am working on "Test Bed #2" and it would be great to take community feedback about how you would like to see coolers tested and what tests you would like to see. So far the questions I will try to answer with "Test Bed #2" and subsequent testing are as follows: How great of an effect...

    An Enthusiast Review of CoolClouds' Revolutionary CPU Cooler Prototype

    1. , 2. , 3. Anything either of us says is just opinion with no test to back it up. I will explore this with an actual test to answer the question. Is there anything you would like to see in the test? 4. Any risk a user is taking with this cooler is that same that they would be taking with...

    An Enthusiast Review of CoolClouds' Revolutionary CPU Cooler Prototype

    Hello dma0991! Regarding reliability: in the past, I used to stick with air coolers as well for the fear of failure of a pump. However, every modern processor either throttles or shuts off before temperature damage can take place. Lets take the 3 coolers in the test and then throw in the...

    An Enthusiast Review of CoolClouds' Revolutionary CPU Cooler Prototype

    Hello VSG! I'm sorry some people took the thread in this direction and caused you to feel that way. I think you will find that my testing of the prototype, which isn't even for sale, was fair and in line with enthusiast testing methods. If there is something different you would like to see in...

    An Enthusiast Review of CoolClouds' Revolutionary CPU Cooler Prototype

    Thanks Alkemyst! But, haters gonna hate! lol! So what do you think of the prototype? I like seeing new tech. What do you think of my testing methods? I modeled them after Hardocp and I think I made good choices for comparison coolers. Is there anything you would have done differently in the...

    I'm sorry to disappoint, but I am NOT a member of the Illuminati, and I have not received any money for anything I did with CoolClouds. Reading some of these comments makes me think I'm watching E! Entertainment News with the wife. As the Big Lebowski himself said "That's just, like, your...

    An Enthusiast Review of CoolClouds' Revolutionary CPU Cooler Prototype

    My tests are not useless. I think you misunderstand the meaning and purpose of this review. I was able to play with a prototype of a cooler that is different and new. I posted here to share that experience. This is not a review of the production unit. This is my experience with a prototype. Have...

    An Enthusiast Review of CoolClouds' Revolutionary CPU Cooler Prototype

    Again, fair enough DigDog! My dad (and sylvester stalone) always taught me DTA (Don't Trust Anyone). I think it's good to be skeptical, so more power to you! :biggrin: "The same thread happening on every forum on the web" - I posted it to the 4 forums that I read regularly as an enthusiast. I...
