Crazy Der8auer cooler prototype - NO pump!

The video centers on a very early prototype of a pumpless all‑in‑one liquid cooling system created by Der8auer, showcased at Computex 2018. The host explains that the design aims to circulate coolant without a traditional pump by relying on the boiling and condensation cycle within an integrated block. They show a visibly hot setup running an overclocked Intel 7900X, estimating around 140 watts of heat, while noting that the current form is prototype stage and will require significant refinements. The system uses a concealed cooling loop where gas rises to a heat exchanger, condenses back to liquid, and drips toward the CPU, with design constraints such as avoiding deep tubing S‑curves that could trap liquid. The video discusses anticipated changes, including a different radiator form factor, probable dual tubing for flexibility, and a more conventional mounting approach, while stressing that the exact coolant chemistry is kept tightly confidential for safety and regulatory reasons. Alongside technical exploration, the host invites audience input on what coolant might be used, what mounting hardware would be desirable, and whether this could become a limited edition piece of PC modding history. The segment also highlights Corsair’s Corsair 280X case line as a potentially suitable home for such a project, tying product coverage to Computex content and sponsor messaging. In closing, the hosts emphasize the experimental nature of the concept, the challenges of commercialization, and the potential for future iterations if the concept proves viable.
