Since when is water cooling needed to dissipate 60 watts? Seems like a bad business concept, especially with lifetime warranties.
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 What? Neither of those statements are correct.

Is that a custom fan to match the HS? Not replaceable.
Really I presume it's just a mock-up and the fan won't be integrated like that. It would be more expensive to do it like that unless you get a good bulk HSF deal.

Lets hope it isn't a solid piece. BFL seems to have failed at the whole 'airflow design' thing... again... Top mounted fans that blow up or down are bad. you want are horizontal to the board, not vertical. But hey, at least there will be a waterblock option which more than makes up for bad airflow.

So I'm guessing the Jalapeno is passively cooled?

That's the initial comments, with this power consumed, doesn't need fan. Regards

Why would something that's supposed to warm coffee need a fan? ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

I just have to open a faucet to fill my cup.

Depending on how hot it gets, we could retrofit some easy-bake ovens.

Water block! That's great! Perhaps I should buy one after all for my central heating system!
Anyone know what water temperature it will tolerate while still working full speed? Or chip temperature?

Just to drop in a newer screen. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fimageshack.us%2Fa%2Fimg546%2F1497%2Fpublicconceptclockblock.jpg&t=665&c=8Ia0_MEVpyh2hg) Of course this is most prominent for the rig ( better thermal transport per volume) but also people who prefer silent operation or want to try some overclocking might be interested. Expected cooling temperatures will be given afther chip perfromances have been completly verified.
