Phase-Change Cooler & Novec Cooling | Der8auer Phase-Shift Cooler

2018-06-05
hey everyone we're here Computex 2018 currently @k skin's booth we're dare Bauer has a few products to show including RGB water talk about that in a moment the main thing here is the power phase shifts cooler this is actually going to be a product so although it's currently in showroom state it's gonna all completely change in theory you should be able to buy this by end of year so we be talking about this and then also some Novak fluid cooling in the pressurized system in front of me before that this video is brought to you by thermal takes view 37 case the vo 37 focuses on highlighting custom PC builds with its full panoramic window and tinted front acrylic and our thermal testing the view 37 performed reasonably well when considering its looks focused build which is partly thanks to the airflow design and the removal of a bottom power supply shroud for a balance of looks and performance check the link in the description below for the view 37 so for the de barro phase-shift cooler main thing here first of all there's a block on top of the CPU of course just like any other CPU cooling block and currently there's a 79 20 X in there it's running about 140 watts so for performance this isn't just an outright performer it's got a couple of other things that going forward rather than just raw thermal performance but there should still be some advantages what's happening is rather than using a Novak fluid which is a restricted substance can't sell it in all regions it's got pfcs in it so they're not using Novak using something else that they can't tell me about but the concept is the same it's a phase change cool and so as it boils it turns into a gas comes up this giant pipe here which this will be smaller later I'll tell you more in a moment comes up the pipe up here into a tank and actually if you look inside of the tank on the bottom there's a window you can see that where the gas condenses turns back into a liquid and comes back down the tube into the block so that's the circulation ish it's not actually a closed loop because it's not a literal loop but that's the idea so you have phase change goes up here up top there's the condenser the condenser just literally copper fins so a five millimeter plate sits in here between the tank and this sort of grille on top and that has channels milled out in the bottom side of it the fins on top are attached currently to 90 millimeter fans these should be 120 s for consumer they're going for 240 and 360 sizes for the radiator but it's not actually a radiator and then you have fin stacks up here where again air blows through cools it down Rican dances comes back down here this giant thing is not gonna be here in the final product there are a couple of basically debug features right now there's this and this and both of these will be removed the one over here is a pressure sensor and then the one up here is just a valve so basically more or less a Schrader valve or equivalent the idea is that anyone working the booth can change the pressure of the system by attaching a pump to the valve and doing a hand pump action on it so that's more or less it the boiling point and the pressure are directly related as one goes up the other goes up and I think that covers most at pricing should be about the same as CLC so in terms of competition you're looking at maybe X 62 glass with kind of 50% fan speeds and that's for the 240 360 will compete more with 360s or larger size radiators in the CLC market again not really meant to take care of something like extreme overclocks it's not like a closed closed loop liquid nitrogen cool or anything like that but you completely eliminate the pump which is the primary point of failure on any closed loop liquid cooler as we've Illustrated in the past so you luminate the pump which eliminates pump noise pump failure pump whine all that annoying stuff your entire creator of noise is gonna be the fans which will be 120 is the final product and then you have control over those they don't need to be all that fast because their only job is blowing air through the continent's the condenser basically and I think that pretty much covers it this tube will later turn into a 14 millimeter tube with it's basically a hydraulic hose later on it'll be black blended a bit more the entire thing up here will change it's not gonna be this thick it'll be closer to something like maybe 60 millimeters or less and it has to be mounted vertically though because you're relying on gravity to carry the liquid back down after it condenses so I think that covers it look for it towards the end of the year and if I missed anything we'll have an article below where it'll have some more formation as for this thing in front of me so on top of this one it looks like a standard clothes or a custom lube on top using ek parts and all that's doing is attaching to a condenser just like we talked over here there's a condenser over here it's just a giant heatsink and what's going on is there's no vac fluid so this is a 71 fluid we've talked about it in the past it's a 61 degrees Celsius roughly boiling point for the Novak fluid as the fluid heats up and boils it turns into a gas comes up top hits the condenser condensers cooled by the EK loop and cools down you eventually get evaporation obviously off the top and then condensation where it drips back down and is functionally recycled so it's a pressurized system it has a literal tank inside of the case and you can even take off the glass if you wanted to there's another glass wall behind it for the GPU it's I think it's a 1080 TI it's an Nvidia part and that's got a four millimeter thick copper block on it it's really rough so if you look at it closely it looks like there are a lot of scratches this is desirable in this instance because it increases the surface area and for something like this where you have full contact of every single crevice in that plate because it's liquid do you end up with actual functional use of the service area from those extra scratches so that's the idea for that one as I understand it having that copper plate on top of the GPU does actually improve performance and a meaningful way so the dye itself is very smooth it's also small not a lot of surface area from raw I correct contact with liquid so they put the block on there also to be fair it's an exhibition system it's for show so that obviously plays a role as well and that is the I think that's both the demo systems oh one very important point you might have noticed that there's RGB water in these so because this is a liquid I guess if you put RGB LEDs in there or an RGB LED in here which I'm told it took many painstaking hours by which I mean was done last minute before the show because that's how vamp star GB is it ends up being RGB water so I if you wanted that you can get it from there Bower encased gain keep an eye out for more coverage from the show as always patreon.com/scishow his action stops I directly go to store documents access not and that comes out directly there as well or check out our Leon Lee coverage earlier this week where dear Bauer had a cameo subscribe for more I'll see you all next time
