14 DAY TRIAL // At this year's Computex, CRYORIG has just announced its new line of HLCs or Hybrid Power Supplies. Coming in three models - the A40, A40 Ultimate and A80, they are claimed to bring us the best of the Air Cooled and Water Cooled worlds.
Proving the worth of this new hybrid technology, CRYORIG has published online and demonstrated at Computex 2015 the drastic cooling factor this new hybrid technology can have on critical modules of the motherboard. Modules like VRMs and RAM slots will be thoroughly ventilated and kept cool, while also claiming that the GPU could profit from this new technology as well.
As any decent cooler, the A series units come with a 70mm fan that adjusts its RPM based on CPU temperature, and even at a default RPM of 3.000 RPM PWN, the sound is claimed to be practically inaudible.
Remote. Control. CRYORIG Pi
Yet, the selling point of CRYORIG's Computex 2015 entry is its Pi PSU. As a spectacular proof of concept Pi is IoT-able (Internet of Things); in other words, it will enable the user to amp up the RPM, make it slower or shut it down wirelessly through the internet, just like in the case of the latest generation of home devices. When paired with the WiFi signal inside the house, the patented Zero Hassle Hardware Wake (ZHH Wake) will immediately connect to your phone through the web and stand by your command.
More so, ZHH Wake will allow the user to remotely shut down the PC whenever one feels so through a simple and effective phone app.
The effectiveness of this new IoT PSU remote control technology, coupled with the hybrid cooling system, seems incredible on paper and heralds a new age of total personal control of your personal PC at any distance from home. However, as any cooling system that promises an universal applicability, it can very much fail everywhere, as manufacturing resources will have to be sacrificed in order to be cost-effective.
Let’s hope, however, that this won't be the case, and instead of having a flooded remotely shutdown-able PC at home, we'll have a truly innovative and revolutionary design, Pi and A working hand in hand, right out of the box.
