has anyone ever seen this before, or has anyone even got one? if u got any useful information regarding it will you let me know, because it looks like a pretty cool piece of hardware and may be something worth buying

[Doggie]

hmm.. nope but looks interesting.. thanx for sharing .. might consider buying

hmm, looks pretty cool, though where's the water at?

The water is in the well above the CPU, as it gets hot it rises from convection up the tubes till it reaches the "radiator" bit at the top. If you ask me its a gimmick as it still has a fan inside it, i doubt it gives much more performance than a normal heatsink, but i wouldnt mind doing a review on it to find out!

There are several heat sinks out there with heat pipes and from what I've read the pipes take the heat away as you've said FthrJack,and the results were good because less size and rpm's are required hence a quieter fan.There was not a drastic temp drop but enough to be worth cooling down a hot Thunderbird or XP.The Coolermaster HHC-01 and the Thermalright SLK-800 are two air heat pipe sinks.Joe Citarella,who writes for OC.com says that air can only do so much but water is 100 times more efficient.Water pump heatsinks are the best performers though.Here is the real deal for cooling,the Senfu 2 water cooling system.Senfu2
