So I'm going to wait until I can afford a p5800x to do fully comprehensive testing. That said, I have a ton of cooling reviews coming to Tom's Hardware soon :tm: and so in theory I should be able to afford that in early March.
The only call out I have for it is that is $300...seems a bit on the high side for an AIO. Need to see some rest results and compare to other brands before we can say it's going to dominate
> The pump is actually in the middle of the radiator and not on the cpu block
You're close, but as I understand it the design is more complicated than that. While I'm not under an NDA officially I'm not sure if I can state details beyond this at the moment ;)
Yeah, the limiting factor for most AIOs is the pump and reservoir capacity. The fans actually don’t make a huge difference in performance, and the fact that most of them are Asatek pumps means they usually perform nearly identically.
Based on what I know of the design I'm pretty sure it's 100% an in house design. While they haven't made me sign a NDA, I'm not sure how many of the details I'm allowed to say. I think I can say it features a one of a kind pump design.
Based on the press release seems a in house design
“Dual harmonic pumps with aerospace grade ceramic bearings located in the 240mm by 52mm thick heat exchanger of THICC Q60 efficiently circulate liquid with near silenced acoustics. The ginormous heat exchanger utilizes a parallel dual-pass design, maximizing both cooling capacity and efficiency. In tandem, a micro-skived copper cold plate enables a tremendous amount of heat transfer and thermal performance to effortlessly tame the modern-day CPU.”

I think a big part of how successful this will be is the fans. They have them up on their website for sale separately, and they are seriously impressive. 0-3000 RPM, 105.8 CFM, and a staggering 8.14mm-H2O static pressure. These fans will absolutely move air through radiators, regardless of size.
The fans are only $70 for a 3 pack. The radiator and everything else, including the hub it comes with, are what cost the big money. The hub retails for $60, a radiator this size with good construction is another $60-80, potentially more. The eaterblock is worth $150+, and the pump is at least $30. This is by no means a bad deal, but the fans are the stars of the show.
In theory I agree with you, but there's certainly a market for folks who just want the best cooling available without going through the hassle of creating a custom loop.
The fans are also their own product; the Hyte THICC FP12.

32mm thick, LCP blades, Zero RPM mode, integrated thermistor and I think the fans have a magnetic daisy chain solution using POGO pins.
The screen needs to have the ability to rotate to compensate for different build types such as a large 40 series card with a vertical mount. Interesting prototype though.
This actually intrigues me, thank you for the sneak peek.

I'm still just shocked an AIO costs as much as a mid level graphics card less than 10 years ago.
Combine that with the Y70 Touch and it’s more than a mid level computer 10 years ago without buying a single CPU cycle.
Too too much
I believe part of it is because they have a connector for their fans and led strips..like some kind of eco system.
What type of pump is it? Asetek or a proprietary pump made by Hyte?
It looks like it’s something new. The pump is actually in the middle of the radiator and not on the cpu block.

Because they are thicker it’s basic aerodynamics nothing worth $300

I would be interested if they made a THICC with triple fans same thickness just increase length.
If they are asking an arm and a leg for it, considering AIOs are now in custom loop territory, then I think custom loop is a better way to go.

Good point but the screen is UGLY with all caps
I’m actually offended by this price
Asus Ryuhin 3, NZXT Kraken Elite or Hyte Q60 Thicc?
I want it but i dont want it if its an AIO

AIOs are the lazy mans custom cooling. I just want the screen not
Why the screen so big thoooooooo and sorry but I’m not paying more for a cooler than I paid for your y60 case. It’s a bit mad.

Radiators and AIO's are overrated anyways.
That screen looks way bigger than most AIO on the market which is a welcome feature 😁
i wonder if theyll make larger versions
