Factory water cooling next to Sandy Bridge-E
There have been rumors in the past that Intel is not providing smooth air cooling to the latest high-end processors, now that’s for sure. In front of cameras Intel RTS2011LC!
The water cooling plan had been announced for a long time, but it could not be taken seriously, the plans included a solution without a refrigerator, at least according to previous information.
Pictures from the staff of Legit Reviews show that Intel will provide a factory water cooler next to the processors, it is no secret that the cooler will be manufactured by Asetek, where the expansion under other brands is not unknown, some of the Corsair coolers are also made here. Fortunately, no one should think that stickering is going on with steam power. This is a hitherto unknown Asatek system, of course showing similarities, but it outperforms older models in terms of cooling performance, so we can talk about a very good cooler. Of course, it would be good to see all this confirmed in a test, but let's be in good faith.
Anyway, the cooler itself is designed to be universal, it will fit all casings, as it will most likely appear in commercial circulation, the price will be a little over $100, we don't know exactly. Anyway, the design turned out to be pleasing, the illuminated Intel logo on the upper part of the block welcomes the "viewers" and the fan also shines in blue, hopefully this Christmas tree effect can be turned off, because it may not be to everyone's liking. Considering the cooling performance, it is certified for a TDP of 130W, but it is unlikely that hard tuning will cause it serious headaches.
