Review: Liquid Cooling with a TechN waterblock - Product showcase

Product showcase

 

 

Undoubtedly, this feature has a negative impact on hydrodynamic resistance (HDR). To compensate for the HDR, TechN engineers have made a number of optimizations. Microchannels are cut into a "cold plate" with a special radius of curvature, which allows water to exit without significant obstacles (except for the friction of water against the microchannels). The second advantage is the optimization of the input flow.

 

 

Water enters the microchannels already at a certain angle, and the waterway itself has no obvious angles, which previously water "hit" before entering the microchannels. An interesting feature of the TechN waterblock is the absence of a differentiated "jet plate", which used to be so liked by waterblock manufacturers to brag about. Now the function of "jet plate" is performed by the acrylic transparent camera itself. This is not a disadvantage, but rather a cost optimization and elimination of really unnecessary details. As for details, the TechN waterblock proved to be extremely simple. The acrylic chamber, the O-ring, the cold plate, and the frame itself are all backlit.

 

 

It is easy to disassemble, and there is no chance to mount something wrong.  And it also has its own charm. Inexperienced users, often disassembling their waterblock, mounted it with an offset "Jet plate", which eventually affected the performance of the waterblock. The last important nuance of any waterblock is the contact surface of the "cold plate" with IHS (processor lid).
