i5 on ice
Asetek has launched a liquid cooling system for Intel's
Core i5 line of processors.
In a press release an Asetek spokesman said that it had
released support for the recently unveiled CPUs and their LGA1156 socket
motherboard counterparts. It was all possible thanks to a specially designed
universal mounting system which enabled Asetek to come up with a single
solution for cooling Core i5 processors and all other popular Intel processors
utilizing LGA 775 and LGA 1366 sockets.
Asetek's liquid cooling can now easily be configured for
any Intel desktop motherboard as the single mounting ring enables flexible
manufacturing in both high and low volume PC manufacturing settings. The Core i5 cooling system consists of a single Intel
mounting ring and back plate, which supports variable position screw inserts to
fit specific socket requirements.
Asetek is fairly sure that all competitive gaming systems
will soon have liquid cooling as a standard feature.
