This dual-pump liquid cooler keeps working even if one pump fails

InWin, best known for computer cases that include very funky designs, is venturing into all-in-one liquid cooling territory with several new products: the SR36 and SR24. Behind the boring name hides an intriguing twin-turbine design. [The patented twin turbine feature works in parallel with each other and functions simultaneously to push both currents toward the copper cold plate, significantly lowering the temperature and cooling the hardware," InWin explains.

This is essentially a dual-pump solution; InWin's explanation is a bit confusing, but as the proprietary animated graphic on the product page shows, one of the pumps directs coolant to the CPU block, where it draws heat away from the processor, while the other one The other pulls it up.

This is why the dual-pump tower is so much larger than others on the market: one DC motor shaft drives two pump turbines, one on each side, effectively doubling the coolant pressure.

InWin touts the superior cooling provided by the twin-turbine design, but the benefits don't stop there. A company representative told AllAroundPC that it also serves as a redundant system.

"If one of the pumps fails, the other remains active so the CPU will not break," the representative said.

InWin showed these off at CES and now has several product pages for the SR36 and SR24. As the model names suggest, the SR36 is the larger of the two, cooled by a 360mm radiator and three 120mm fans, while the SR24 is a 240mm radiator and two 120mm fans.

The company has not yet announced when these will be available for purchase, nor has it announced an official price. However, according to the aforementioned representative, InWin aims to make its prices competitive, and the SR36 and SR24 could be released for $139 and $119, respectively
