Nothing’s been officially released, but with all the punches Intel is throwing with their upcoming Conroe and Merom CPU’s, this is another exciting development from Chipzilla. Bit-Tech reports:
The answer is this: Intel’s Advanced Liquid Cooling prototype. It consists of a block unit which attaches to the processor. This contains the copper core which makes contact with the CPU, as well as a centrifugal pump which uses a DC brushless motor. This pumps the water up through solid metal tubing to a more traditional radiator, cooled by a 120mm fan. The integration of the cold plate improves thermal performance. The main body of the unit is made of injection-moulded plastic.
Did I mention, it’s likely to cost less than $50? Read and drool.
