Default Heatpipe to water block questions.

I was thinking (which is usually dangerous) but I was wundering how well this would work. I was looking at a watercooling settup that instead of a radiator would use two of THESE jet engine looking coolers. I would mount a cpu water block to each of them for the water to heatsink heat transfer. I'm figuring on having the cpu, vid card and northbridge hooked into the water system to give an idea of the heat removal needed. I have a heck of an plan for a really cool case mod but I have to figure this cooling issue out first. Thanks for any help you guys can give.

It just wouldn't work. There are some many things wrong with this idea. For one you would need tons of the coolers to absorb the heat from the water through water blocks. Also by the time you would start adding those blocks, plus the 3 blocks to cool the PC your loop would be so restrict the performance would just be terrible. Interesting idea though...

No, the water would go to a cpu waterblock mounted to the base plate of the jet fan. It sounds kinda inefficient to me but thats why I had figured on using two of the jet coolers. Just wanted to get a couple of opinions on if it would work or not.

Just read SpecialBlend's reply. Ah shucks. I had thought of making an aircraft case mod and use those fans hanging below the wings to cool the system. I figured that the heat transfer from a waterblock to those coolers would be the week point in my idea, guess I may have to rethink things.

The problem is the lack of water / HSF surface area contact. One of the principles of effective radiator design.

If you could make/ mod some CPU blocks to accept the heatpipes (ie the heatpipes would run through the cpu block) the performance would be better than having 2 plates of copper facing easch other with some AS5 inbetween. The problem would be finding suitablity shaped heatpipes and having a large case for the 2 star ice's (personally Id get rid of that nasty shell the cooler has and mkae my own).

An intresting concept as Radiators are a big slowing element in a water system. Keep at it, and you may find a solution. My 2pence may be what your looking for.

You'll have to excuse my sad photochop skills but this is kinda what I had in mind. Hanging those fans upside down under the wing of an aircraft shaped case to look like the engines from an airliner. Keeping the watercooling and everything actually computer related up inside and only those fan towers hanging outside to cool the rig down. After the coments from you guys and the realization that it won't cool so great I'm gonna try something else for now. Maybe this will give you guys some ideas but for now I was kinda looking at an F-117 shaped mod. We'll have to see where this goes. I have watched all you guys doing case mods and upgrading a premodded case just isn't gonna cut it for me any more.

Hey...you're thinkin' creatively and that's a great place to start. Now, if you built the wings out of convection style radiators and placed fans directly in front of them, that would work.

Well, seems I'm kinda giving up on that watercooled jet fan idea (well shelving it for now). With those fans the thing would be huge to get the scale to look right not to mention the questionable efficiency. So I've been sitting around searching for different style fans and stuff to make an aircraft shaped case. Looks like I'm gonna go with the F-117 design (it's just cool) I'm gonna start a new thread over in the Project worklog section so you guys can follow up on how things go with it. Hopefully it will work out and I can actually fabricate this thing. Thanks for everyones help on this.
