Terkon in the hands of an amateur, or collecting another smart heater

I really like publications about contour heat pipes (CTT), which are produced and sold by compatriots from St. Petersburg. And then there was the opportunity to update your old PC. So I decided to combine business with pleasure and build a PC case using advanced technologies.





Prologue

Of course, now there are enough ready-made and compact solutions for cases and cooling for PCs, as every first one can rightly notice. But, a  self-made samurai has  no goal, only a path. And I propose to go through it together!

Assembled contour.  By the way, you can see in the photo, but the bends of the tube to the sides (to bring it closer to the edge of the radiator) occurred with an excessive bend (kink?) Of the tube.  It was already my jamb - I grabbed a thinner tube for support.  But nevertheless, the circuit did not lose its efficiency.

Already better

What can I say - a little hotter than we would like at a low noise level (low fan speeds). But it is quite viable! The main goal - to touch and crush modern solutions in the field of cooling has been achieved! Thanks to everyone who mastered this publication!)





Additional information and thanks

The article used materials from publications: CPU cooler Cooler Master MasterAir Pro 4





I would like to express my gratitude to Igor Fedorenko  and the staff of Terkon for their help with metalworking - they willingly answer all questions and give recommendations.





UPD: Got a photo of the insides of the CTT vaporizer
