I just got a massive cooling block, no air or water needed. Just a soft air flow from the case fans and dust blocking fabric over the inlets. Much less power consumption this way. I already have a radiator in my room, no need for an additional dust capturing one. These fans only draw power and dust into our machines and now this genius is telling us we should ad some water to the mix. His pc is running at 40°C doing nothing while mine does 30°C at room temp. 40°C would be 100% cpu at my end.

I feel, since this is about a prototype, this was one of the missing points in the video. Perhaps der8auer didn't had the free time.

The block is aluminium probably to stop galvanic corrosion. The radiator appears to be a microchannel design used in automotive air-conditioning that can withstand high pressures of up to ~450PSI. The cooling tubes are not open but are bridged internally to hold pressure and to aid in exchanging heat from the fluid to the surface of the tubes.

Things that I would like to see for further testing with this AIO, if possible, would be how it performs: 1. with those radiator gaps filled 2. with pipes straight and as additional tests, that would be worth knowing for SFF: 1. with radiator mounted on the side (so maybe more convection in the radiator itself?) 2. on direct die (edit: whoops I forgot that it's aluminium) I know that this all would be very time-consuming, and thus these are only suggestions of (maybe) interesting tests, seeing any of them would be equally interesing.

This has potential. Thanks Roman.

would be an awesome product for micro builds since no wasted space on pump or tower for cpu, plus micro builds aren't usually the most energy hungry.

For a moment I thought this was going to be a new version of that phase change AIO you made before

Always great that you're always looking at new, interesting things instead of just the same old, same old, think that the companies benefit greatly from your testing and feedback. Have to say though of course having an extra 33% more water and radiator to flow through, of course it'll help and absorb some heat, of course it will be different from a 240 AIO. Would be curious to see it compared to a real 240 AIO.

Very interesting exploring and testing this prototype ! Keep going

Really appreciate this channel … unlike some of the larger tech KZread channels that have clowns giving advice, Roman actually knows what he’s talking about. This AIO is a fantastic future option. One suggestion for improving the thermals of this system is to add some cooling fins on top of the cold plate and adding a small fan. Great concept.

It makes sense that the prototype is made from aluminum and not copper. It's easier and cheaper to manufacture. But the final product has to be plated copper for the heatsink and copper for the radiator to have any chance in the current market.

Very cool product, thx 4 highlighting it!

I would have liked to see you test it in a pull configuration to reduce the impact of that bottom gap and in different orientations. My main concerns are how difficult it would be to refill and if it can still perform mounted on its side. Not having a pump is great but every AIO I've owned permeated fluid long before I was ever concerned about the pump failing. Pump noise has been a negligible concern for me but I'm aware some AIOs are surprisingly loud. Very impressive prototype overall. With a copper coldplate, improved fan mounting and no paint on those fins, this could get interesting if the price is reasonable. A thicker radiator would also help to make this standout.

i really like the idea of no pump, less noise, can't wait to see that product on the market one day

8:30 that is done for noise. We do the exact same thing with regular radiators. It reduces air noise.

That is really cool, I would seriously consider getting one if they release it someday

This is very interesting! I looked into Wieland-Werke AG and they are indeed enormous! I was thinking that maybe this cooler might bump their stock, but they're so big this thing will have no impact even if it beats AIO's eventually.

My guess is that this is a dual phase design based on the single pass radiator. With a single phase, I'm pretty sure you could use a dual pass radiator, but a thermal scan of the radiator in use would likely confirm.

I have used AIO coolers for over a decade, and I most certainly would be interested in a pumpless one like this. If it's Made in Germany, I reckon it wouldn't be the cheapest option, but if there's no need to worry about a pump dying and especially pump noise, it could be worth a little bit of extra price.

Good news to see this type of cooler for consumer PC, and quite amazed by performance, it is holding a 7950X. It's probably a single phase thermosiphon, easier to engineer and less sensible to placement (you could do front monting too). For the tube going donward it is not a problem since it is driven by density difference at hot point versus cold point, if it is enougth to moove against gravity then it is allright (just dont give it too much head loss ofc, same for pumps). Phase change seems more promising for permormance, thus it depend on the fluid I gess, but also less quiet so if it work as single phase that's fine for me.

Interesting. The lack of noise as well as potential longevity compared to water AIO's is really appealing.

Noise normalized thermals would be interesting. Maybe this actually outperforms the other cooler at like 25 or 30 decibels.

That is impressive. Price would be the question? Other question that I would have is, does the heat plate over the CPU need to be warm... i.e. would extra fans inside the case blowing air over that area, actually make it worse/better/have no effect. Really interesting product.

That cooler itself looks really cool

Very intriguing

a very interesting product for sure !

Love the innovation, I'll be buying one as long as it's not crazy expensive

this is so cool! can you keep it for more testing? like see what happens when placing the radiator in different positions

Would love to see more of something like this come to market. Less points of failure and with more tweaking like distance between fan and radiator and you'd have a pretty good cooler. Do wonder what the trade off or limit would be for something like this in the future.

I am looking forward to this AIO. Hope they release a good product in the future

I want one :). I think that with some adjustments to air flow, it would perform as good as an AIO. Looking forward to the follow-up :D

I need a 360 variant just for the aesthetic alone, the simplicity is just an added bonus!

Very interesting concept prototype.

For a prototype, this doesn't look bad at all. I hope they improve those like you mentioned.

Very interesting concept.

Looking forward to this tech.

I used a 12 volt fountain pump from a hobby store way back in 2006...it worked a Lot better than the AIO pumps they have now, plus it was partially transparent so you could make sure water was in the system and no air. It also lasted 13 years...a Lot longer than AIO pumps.

I kinda like the look honestly. If they could close off the sides like you said, paint it black, black tubes. I love the idea of low or no maintenance systems

The biggest issue with this design is that the vacuum will eventually leak due to those plastic tubes. With a metal liner it might take years, but they will leak. But I guess this is not so bad as long as one can reestablish a vacuum. Possible methods of improvement: - copper cold-plate. Al is probably used to match the radiator / prevent corrosion. - higher vacuum so the liquid boils at a lower temperature. - parallel hoses for the water vapour to transition to the radiator (only 1 return path should be sufficient). Dropping the boiling point will result in more vapour going to the radiator. - add a pressure gauge so we can see what sort of vacuum is present. Perhaps a USB connection to allow for automatic monitoring of the vacuum and alerts if required. So a cool idea, but really no different then the heat pipes that are in every air cooler. They are definitely effective, but I'm afraid reliability will be a problem. Gasses can flow through plastic - albeit slowly.

In the kindest sense of expression, the Kapton tape to restrict air flow states a level of geekdom I personally aspire to. 🖖

This was very interesting. Hope there is a follow up video

This is a great review. Thanks for making this video. I wonder if the lack of a pump also means less risk of leaking, due to less pressure in the pipes. The risk of leaking is the main reason why I've never used liquid cooling in my computer.

As an AIO person (either for ITX size-constraint reasons or just ease-of-installation/transport), this is really cool to see how we are ever so closer to pump-less AIOs

Pretty cool video, really seems like a great idea with no pump. Hopefully they can improve this and come back with something better.

I was waiting as well for that prototype you showed at Computex, didn't know that the liquid was banned

This is very unique!

Oooh... That is some nice looking product.

Another benefit of lack of pump is the reduced power consumption. A DDC pump can intake up to 25W of power (usually 15~18W at idle, gotta move liquid still) which is quite a bit on top of a machine that idles at 25 to 45W. This unit works on the principle that "heat is power, let's harvest it" and does away with it.

Hey, great review again. Question: doesn't it help if you place the radiator at the front panel vertically to give the temperature difference a help?

Im very interested in this and hope there is one that comes to market!

Very interesting. Though I would've loved to see you close up the space at the edge where the air pressure leaks out and re-test if that improves the cooling.

I like it visually as it is!

This is perfect i love it i WANT one

Super interesting, can be the future of "AIO" ! You can easily improve & retest it by putting the fans on the top of the rad rather than below as (badly) designed, and test outside of a case (or in pull mode)
