MonsterLabo, a team of four people best known for their work on "The First" PC case, are at it again with giant pieces of PC component tech. This time, they took tried and true designs and sizes of CPU and GPU coolers and threw them into an enlargement ray, coming up with what they are calling "The Heart". As it stands, and it stands higher and heavier than all other cooling solutions hitherto, "The Heart" is a cooling solution that extends from your CPU through to your GPU, cooling both with its design of densely stacked fins.

Dimensions is where "The Heart" is bold, with the cooler measuring 200 by 185 mm and 265 mm tall. Adding insult to injury, its weight comes in at 6.6 lbs (3 Kg for us metric system aficionados). MonsterLabo rates the cooler's dissipation capabilities at 100 W CPU load and a 120 W GPU. Adding a 500-RPM 140 mm fan would bump those numbers to 140 W and 160 W, respectively. Mind these numbers apply to cases where "The Heart" is installed into MonsterLabo's own The First case, but differences should be relatively minor in any other case, should you actually be able to install it there. Of course, the combined CPU and GPU design will be very hit or miss - your graphics card will have to be perfectly compatible with the cooler, with its GPU set just right on the PCB for it to be perfectly covered by it. If you want to risk that, you can always drop $200 or €180 for The Heart, in either black or white finishes. Inexpensive for a heart, yes, but extremely expensive as a cooler with expected limited compatibility.

Thats pretty weird. Cool, but weird.

Also I don't find 300W total with a fan on it quite unimpressive for such a large sink. Finstack density could be so much better.

The finstack can't be that dense if they optimize for no airflow or low airflow (500rpm 140mm should be near silent). And you really should work on your double negatives. :D

Extremely Cool Technology. :D

Didn't these MonsterLabo guys break away from Calyos Laboratories? That was the rumor flying around.


Did that NSG-S0 case ever really launch? Did any customers actually receive their fanless chassis from the Kickstarter campaign? :confused:

OR did the company simply take pre-orders and never deliver the product? :confused:

They've been at this a while now. By the time they release something for specific hardware, that hardware will be obsolete...

something like that really limits case choice and design.

Might be enough to keep the 9900KS cool I suppose....lol

lol,

I really thought the Coffee Lake Refresh solder TIM (STIM) was such an unbelievable mistake by Intel - imagine moving from paste to solder (supposedly a good thing) at the same time increasing the die thickness 100% which acts as a thermal insulating layer - so much so enthusiasts are grinding down the superior thickness of the die? Geez, at least with paste TIM you could delid and improve your thermal efficiency. lol

Then after speaking to a few experts on the matter they all seemed to agree the increased temps with CL-R 9900K and 9900KS are more due to the additional two cores on the same 14nm architecture, and the die thickness was not so much a factor.

Also, current rumors are Comet Lake will be increasing stock clocks for the 10core, 8core, and 6core K-parts. Even More Heat? :eek:

OK, whatever ... sitting out back with the dog, waiting for Rocket Lake :p

Has no one noticed that the gpu vrms and memory are completely lacking heatsinks and any airflow what so ever? I'm seeing a royal lack of QC on this idea from their design team.

Nice concept.

Heat doesn't travel very far along the fin stack from the heat pipe. Wonder if the spacing of the heat pipes might be too far apart.

YES! Former TomsHardware writer Igor Wallosek tested this method of cooling and got some pretty worrying results out of this. (sadly just in German) I think the PCB shots are more than enough evidence against this solution :eek:
