Tony is an OCZ rep. He says it himself. No Hydrojet.

Lets let that unit go to rest now. Its been cann'd.


"the issue is the molecules of water don't remove the heat from the carbon very well...the two just do not work well together. Hydrojet may have suffered from this also...being honest i was not on that project but I do know weight of the unit was one of the reasons we dropped it, it was just tooooo heavy"


ROFL!

I'm no expert, but why use water? Couldn't they use something a bit more thermal conductive, like anti-freeze?

I told you guys that the conductive carbon didn't have the surface properties for water cooling, I said that how long ago? I hate being right sometimes but, I usually am 😉

Anti-freeze is actually less thermally conductive than *pure* water. The reason it's used to abundantly, like in cars, is two fold. Primarly it's used in colder climates to keep the water from freezing with the addition of a type of alcohol, the alcohol itself will not freeze anywhere in nature so, mixing it with the water drags the freezing point to about -45 to -60 depending on barometric pressure and the quantity. Secondly commercial anti-freeze has an anti-corrosion additive as well. Inside most engines there are typically about 4 different metals with the same coolant running across them which would cause galvanic corrosion without an inhibitor.
