14 DAY TRIAL // Asetek is about to release its new nice and small water-cooler that can take as much as 250W of heat dissipation out of the CPU or other water-cooled part. It is a project on which the company worked hard for a very long time. The Quad, Octo and Hexa CPUs with four, eight or sixteen cores will simply need a good and quiet way to cool down. Here is the answer to the CPU industry's prayers.
Asetek calls it Low Cost Liquid Cooling and it targets many audiences, mostly OEMs and ODMs. It is an efficient way to cool the PC and it's quiet at the same time. The beauty of this cooler is that it supports various CPUs and platforms and it can even be used in gaming consoles, which are getting noisier all the time, plus small form-factor PCs, Digital home PCs and, of course, the high-end gaming machines, showed The Inquirer.
It looks impressive and it will officially be revealed and demonstrated at Intel's IDF, the big CPU show. The Live demonstration includes a micro ATX Digital Home system powered with Conroe-based Core 2 Duo system with its noise reduced from 34 dBA to less than 25 dBA (equal to bedroom ambient).
Its features: An integrated pump (Astek proprietary AC/DC hybrid technology with high-precision ceramic bearings), reservoir and cold plate in one compact device that is smaller than a traditional heat sink; the possibility of daisy chaining cold plates can provide cooling for multiple components, such as 2X CPU or CPU plus graphics(system Rth 0.13 C/W ; cold plate Rth 0.06 C/W); few joints, which eliminate potential leaks; sealed and charged for its lifetime, with no worries about leaks or evaporation (100% with helium leakage testing); industry standard maintenance-free lifetime of 50.000 hours (certified); fast and foolproof installation; building block principle - the solution can accommodate different form factors, performance and noise levels - possibility for system board cooling (cooling several components on a graphic card)
