new AiO water cooling loops from Silverstone, who's thinking outside the box.

SilverStone IceMyst Cools the Parts Other AiOs Cannot Reach

The IceMyst series is designed to unfurl its curves in high-TDP systems.

the coolers have fans attached to the CPU block that allow for air cooling to be directed at nearby motherboard parts, like the VRM and RAM.

edit - on the aside, seeing that some of their new cases have been designed for backside connectors is encouraging. it indicates this idea might fly!

finally i wonder when if they can ever get away from the patent troll that was put in place by astek? very interesting as i would like those other new itx coolers that have slits on the sides to allow for airflow over vrms and ram area.

someone should figure out an affordable way to turn a PC into a form of wind tunnel.

3D printing and some designs im sure its possible lol my current 1000D has 16 fans 8 of which are those gentle typhoons as intake would be better if i could direct that air flow to the gpu as intake lol.

I think the problem is noise. most servers are almost like a wind tunnel through the HDD, over CPU and through the RAM.

however, with a 3D printer you probably could create ducting that has it's intake where the front fans usually go. one duct going off to the GPU and another going off to the CPU.
