"Reactor" first consumer liquid submersion performance PC

they say they maintain a 10C delta....

if your fans are controlled right?


😛

i maintain a 3-4C delta from coolant to ambient, with my fans turned down low.

10C delta would be with me using noctuna's crappy fans. :X

They need a bigger and copper radiator.
 
It's apperance on G4, "attack of the show" is slated for the 24th, Chad says it did the best benchmarks of any machine tested there to date

Gronk..

I dont think that system can maintain a high overclock for a prolong period of time.

And i think there going on stock benchmarks on other machines.

I can think of a few including Sakura with quadfire that could slaughter it. :X
 
Think it's overly expensive and custom for a cooling solution that doesn't seem to preform as well as other custom ones. The barbs on that gpu block are tiny.
 
I think they should be capitalizing on their engineering and manufacturing resources and release thier own line of cooling products for enthusiasts. You never know, they may alter the chassis to support standard ATX and start marketing the cases later one if they can't move these systems.
 
Does total submersion = just using water blocks? If so, then you can build your own custom water cooling system for much much less.

they subersed the entire setup in either 3m flournet type of coolant or mineral oil.

im guessing its mineral oil as its cheaper, and the visosity seems simular.

Now mineral oil is not that great of a thermal medium. Actually it sucks, and its very viscous. Which is probably why they have a funky version of the D5 with a larger motor.

Now, they can get all creative with impingement jets and channeled flow, yet they still have 1 problem.

That is PHSYSICS!

You can NOT DESTORY energy, NOR create it, unless were talking about the LHC/Nuclear Fission/Black hole.

What does that statement mean?

A highly overclocked Quadcore with trifire will PUT out an INCREDIABLE amount of heat. 180W on the processor alone, another 150-180W EACH GPU, add another 80-100W on the stupid 790i board. (nvidia boards are NOT COOL running)
And they got the RAM + PSU even.

=

You have too much heat for that poor radiator.

You need something near this class to cool that unit down properly:
(120x4 Radiator) x 2

They use a soybean based oil, roughly 5.5 gallons. Fluorinert would be too expensive.

When I was there, a unit that was being prepared for customer with a QX9770 4.2GHz was running @ 42°C in 25°C ambient
 
Expensive for something that gets obsolete too fast.
I watched the vid. Interesting design although I'm not sure about the X ring!

id hoenstly have more faith in a machine you built gronk.

id believe those scores on idle, once fully loaded, that rig is gonna scream and cry.
