The fan looks bigger and I dig the green lights.

I doubt those green things are lights. They look like heatsink mounts to me.

If my heatsink isn't attached by radioactive rods, I'm returning the damn thing.

It doesn't have to be radioactive. It could just be an inanimate carbon rod.

I can totally tell it's photoshopped... from the pixels.

Seriously though. I wonder how long it takes to render that plastic looking shiny thing with my gpu based mining rig.



The main render looks to have been done in solidworks - doing it from scratch would probably take me a full day - if the fan model and heatsink model were already available it'd take about half an hour.

They sure do bear quite a resemblance to the tritium/phosphorous keychain glow-things.

Too bad those tend to run into import/export restrictions being radioactive and all.  They sure would look cool though.

I think you two are talking cross purposes here!

To render that object probably takes a few seconds, if that. It's not complicated at all.

Ah, we've misunderstood each other  Cheesy
I meant to create the model in CAD (solidworks) and then render it.
If you already had the model there and just wanted to render it you're talking minutes at the very most  Cheesy

Since when is water cooling needed to dissipate 60 watts? Seems like a bad business concept, especially with lifetime warranties.

Having a water-block as an option is nice. Maybe we'll see some other accessories / product lines develop here. I'm imagining rack mounted sc rigs with the noise and heat moving via fluid into sound proof cooling closet. But ya - that's just me.

Just to dispel any uncertainty, this photo is actually of the SC Single, "I don't know why they don't tell us what they are posting. That IS the Single SC heatsink. So if you ordered a Single SC you will have that.--Jody".

Since you put 25 of them in a small box.

How well a fan cools down anything will depend on the ambient air temperature, if the ambient air gets hot, fan cooling becomes almost useless.

Also it's not about watts but amps!

i.e. 60watts 1.2v chip will be cooler then 40watts 2.0v chip
