CeBIT 2004 Part 4
Author: Dave WilliamsPublished: 1st April 2004
Self proclaimed "Gods of Coolness", Innovatek shared a stand with Gainward to show off their water cooling wares. Here is a multicoloured "Konvert-o-matic" passive heat exchanger.
Aren't those fan grills for smokin'?
Two case solution. The "ENCS-Plus" external cooling solution to you and me. It has zero fans and is purported to be noiseless would you believe?
They also had a fine range of anodised cooling blocks and accessories on display.
That wasn't all they had displayed on their stand!
It would seem that water cooling is not just for the enthusiast. This is some dual CPU and GFX pro plumbing indeed from Megware.
Gigabyte had some impressive looking air coolers on show. These are from the "3D Cooler" range. They have a copper base and use heat pipes to transfer the heat to the main heat exchanger which is cooled by the fan blowing air down and through the fins. Supposedly cooling the surrounding mainboard components as well as the CPU. Note the 3.5" drive bay speed control which also comes with a PCI mounting option. There are three coolers in the range: Cooler, Cooler-pro and Cooler-ultra. The thing I really liked about these coolers is that they come with all the mountings for P4, Athlon XP and Athlon 64 included in the box. Thank you Gigabyte!
These things are huge, this only the small one!
Even ABIT are getting in on the water cooling act. Here is their "Water Chill" HTPC style offering. The cooling system is actually Asetek's "Water Chill" water cooling solution which we reviewed version 2 here and the original here. Asetek are the makers of the renowned "VapoChill" which utilises vapour phase cooling to achieve subzero temperatures. If you want to know more then check out our review here by Dr Cheese.
