At the heart of the Revo CPU cooler is bubble-pump thermodynamic technology.

Review: Akasa Revo cooler
Ideal for those building silent PCs

In the case of the Revo, the bubble pump is driven by a dual-component coolant which is stored in a chamber sitting directly on the CPU.
The heat is them transferred through a multi-finned aluminium radiator and cooled by a slow-spinning 92mm fan. It's an ideal solution for those building silent PCs but, due to the tight thermodynamic range of the coolant, it won't be of any use to overclockers.
