discussion remember when Zalman released their first cooler that looked like this?

That actually reminds me of the giant "passive" external water cooler Zalman had ages ago. Ironically enough, some of that tech is coming back! Can't remember who atm, but someone is making an AIO cpu cooler that runs passively, sans pump - as long as the radiator is mounted above the block. Neat!

@CMetaphor i believe that was Noctua and there Prototype.

Ah yes, Noctua.
Now watch it not-sell because they insist on painting it like dead fish.

nope, Zalman had a passive tower radiator that was external to your chassis...it was called the Reserator, whch was also from the mid-2000's.

Pricing is announced or at least posted in Korea. $50 USD for early release then it's around $60 USD but it's a Korean Won to USD conversion and not direct US release pricing.

Had one of the jet coolers along these lines. Super noisy.
