This Intel and ASRock collaboration says screw it up, put the whole pc in the immersion tank and call it a day

With all this super-fast hardware and the variety (and often hilariously huge) cooling solutions we've seen at Computex this year, the company can be allowed to throw a towel.

Keeping all these hot chips cool is a problem that everyone looks desperate to solve, and most of the increasing number of problems. In heatsink and F

But for Intel and ASRock, the towel may not be suitable. At the ASRock booth, I found a PC soaking in what looked like a fish tank — 2 GPUs bubbling cheerfully and all like victims of mafia hits

Of course, what looks like conductive water is instead a dielectric liquid (in this case "perfluorocarbon coolant"), so the components are not as good as they are. It may seem that the moment is giving a slow death, but instead it is transferring all the heat to a cold bath.

This project is the result of a collaboration between Intel, ASRock, Thermaltake, and Taimax. Perhaps the system is very efficient and wild overclocking is achievable, or in the case of modern 5th generation SSDs, it is probably maintaining speed for a long time without thermal throttling.

After some of the heatsink and cooler designs we've seen this year, throwing your hands up and soaking the whole thing in a fish tank might actually be the most elegant solution at this point. In addition, it will look great in the background at a dinner party.

Speaking of the "screw it, go big" cooler solution, I would be negligent if I didn't point out this beauty that our Jacob found at the Sonic booth:

Yeah, so if you're suspicious, chuck a huge radiator out of the case and cover it with a high-power fan. It will be. The work is over, we can all go to lunch.
