... and went to a fair degree of trouble to hide the massive, noisy, watercooler.
- zaarn 8y agoPurely by accident of course. Same for the 16 phase mobo to supply upwards of 1kW of power to the CPU. All an accident. No ill intent to find here.
- nolok 8y agoEspecially since, once ASUS and Gigabyte showed how it was done, intel went to get their chip back and only gave them 30 minutes to comply. Way to show this wasn't supposed to be hidden from the public.
- raverbashing 8y agoOh it's not just a watercooler, I'm not even sure those work well at the low temperatures needed (probably -10C or even less) even with antifreeze It's at least an active chiller + heat transport equipment (which can be a watercooler but doesn't look like it)
- xxs 8y agoIt was a sub-ambient cooler, NOT a water cooler. I'd tolerate a water cooler and 5GHz on a prebinned chip. Watercooling would have been amazing but it was phase change. Note: Watrecooling is ok for everyday use, subambiend = condensation... i.e. competitive overclocking area.
