Overclocking systems aren't very common, but those that exist definitely have the potential of putting CPUs, GPUs and memory through hell, provided an adequate cooling module is absent, something that Digital Storm does not like to see happen, especially given its recent announcement.

Hardcore overclockers always make custom cooling rigs if they want to perform unorthodox tweaks to their systems.

For those that do not have liquid nitrogen on hand, however, Digital Storm has an alternative, one that can chill liquid below zero degrees Celsius.

The product in question is the Cryo-TEC Cooling System, based on the Sub-Zero Liquid Chilled, only smaller and stronger.

One of the assets is direct contact heat dissipation technology, which supplements the thermo-electric one that the Sub-Zero and, now, its successor sports.

The CPU is directly connected to the thermo-electric cold plate, leaving it to the control board to automatically optimize cooling efficiency and power.

Digital Storm already updated several systems, based on Core i7 CPUs and featuring 8 or 12 GB of RAM, plus NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 580 (alone or in 2-card and 3-card SLI setups) and 1TB HDDs or 120 GB SSDs.

“With its brilliant simple design and complete compatibility, the Cryo-TEC system represents the next technological leap in processor cooling systems,” commented Rajeev Kuruppu, Digital Storm’s Director of Product Development.

“It out-classes and out-performs standard liquid cooling systems with its incredible design and it can only be found exclusively at Digital Storm.”

Digital Storm Protus V workstations will welcome the Cryo-TEC soon, though the item can be installed on almost any full tower Digital Storm computer.

Finally, users will have the fortune of paying $500 less than the Sub-Zero Liquid Chilled system would have demanded. Users need only drop by the official website (can be accessed via this link) and check out their options.
