14 DAY TRIAL // With Black Friday, Cyber Monday and then Christmas approaching at a very fast rate, it should come as no surprise that some of the best-known gaming systems' integrators are doing their best in order to come up with some hot new offerings for their customers, and that's exactly the case with Digital Storm as well, the company just announcing the Zero Liquid Chilled System, capable of delivering some pretty impressive overclocking capabilities, achievable via its advanced liquid-cooling system.
In fact, Digital Storm claims that their solution is capable of overclocking Intel’s i7-980X CPU up to 4.6GHz, while idling the processor below 0ºC, which, to be honest, is in fact quite a notable performance.
At the core of the Sub-Zero is a series of TEC peltier coolers that work in conjunction with other high-end liquid cooling components, thus supporting “feats of overclocking” similar to the one mentioned above.
Digital Storm is offering four different Zero Liquid Chilled System configurations, featuring either Intel Core i7 950 or Intel Core i7 980x CPUs, accompanied by 6GB of DDR3 memory running at 1600Mhz and X58 Chipsets.
In terms of graphics, the “entry-level” model is powered by an NVIDIA GTX 460 1GB graphics card, while the top-range model features an awesome 3 x SLI configuration built with the latest-gen NVIDIA GTX 580 graphics cards.
“The R&D conducted on this liquid chilled system has been the most labor intensive, but rewarding initiatives ever attempted by our engineers,” commented Rajeev Kuruppu, Digital Storm’s Director of Product Development. “With constant innovation happening in the hardware space, the demands on our engineers to design systems that optimize these components are unyielding. The Hailstorm gaming computer with the new Sub-Zero Liquid Chilled System fully maximizes the potential for each component like no other system we’ve ever built,” Mr. Kuruppu added. Unfortunately, such an extreme gaming machine is also extremely expensive, since the base configuration for the Sub-Zero Liquid Chilled System configuration has a starting price of $3,899, which is not exactly a sum a whole lot of people will afford to spend on such a PC.
