I guess, if it's liquid firing at the surface of the CPU, then the seal around the edge will need to be engineered into the CPU, so that it's a perfect seal for ever. I don't forsee many water tight seals, just pushed onto the surface of a CPU, sealing 100% correctly for the life of a CPU under the pressure needs for the jets to work AND the liquid to then pass back out to the reservoir again. Water oozing out of a seal pressed against the CPU would be ... sub optimal
That thing in the picture dun't look 10x smaller, neither...
we don't know the scale...it might be ickleQuote:

As for the sealant, it'll depend on a few factors. These jets probably don't need to be proper jets as we're imagining but just enough to get convection working faster. I don't have Solidworks so I can't download and run their simulation. I expect that you won't install the chip on to the mobo and then the cooler on top, but you'll install the chip into the blue section of the cooler (you can see the multiple sealing nuts around the black edge), be expected to run a pressure and leak test before installing / running and then bolting the whole thing into the socket as one. I'd have thought you'll end up modifying the socket to accept this but it's an enthusiast part after all. I can't see you'll be able to make a seal of the standard required any other way.
I don't think making a water-tight seal against the top of a CPU is an especially tricky task to achieve. We always bolt on heat-sinks with an alarming amount of pressure against the chip. Making something reliably water-tight isn't especially hard - just ask all those people who assemble their own water-cooling rigs.
Oooh, just in time for Intels 10th gen 10 core "105w tdp" at up to 5.2GHz!
10th gen needing 10x cooling :P
We can extrapolate, based on known sizes of CPU block mounting plates... of which there is clearly one in the picture, that must be sized to current CPU cooler mounting points, no? :)Quote:

yeah but next pahse is 5.2 ghz at stock ! idle 95 watts (we all know what that means......... more like 1k at oc) and this time we incuded hyper threading .........so we have 16 coresQuote:

That was also my initial thought, if the jets are high enough pressure, surely the surface of what you are cooling is going to degrade over time? Unless they have some way of dispersing the jet to be more widespread, but even so...?Quote:

they're mainly sealed except where the pipe fitting screw in.

But in this case we're looking at clamping a watertight seal to the CPU directly....which is OK if it's utterly flat, utterly clean CPU and the seal pushed ot it doesn't leak. And then there's the pressure that the coolant will need to squirt into the cavity ..... the seals on the "skirts" of this waterblock will need to be very long lasting.
I think the entire idea is to sqirt water onto the CPU heatspreader, and maybe one day onto the CPU itself
and what happens when the nossles block?
