Wieland Introduces Innovative Pump-less AIO Cooler Prototype
German company Wieland's prototype AIO cooler, tested by der8auer, showcases a pump-less design using thermosyphon technology for quieter operation.
- The Wieland prototype AIO cooler eliminates the mechanical pump, leveraging thermosyphon technology for liquid circulation, offering potential benefits in noise reduction, maintenance, and power consumption.
- Despite lacking a pump, the prototype's cooling performance is approximately 8 degrees Celsius less effective than a modified Corsair 360mm AIO cooler in tests conducted by der8auer.
- The prototype supports both Intel LGA1700 and AMD AM5 sockets, tested with an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X CPU, showing decent performance with low noise levels.
- Areas for improvement identified include the use of a hybrid aluminum and copper cold plate, a larger radiator, and design adjustments to minimize gaps between components.
- Wieland's pump-less AIO cooler represents a promising development in cooling technology, with potential for future refinement and market impact.
