| New Cooling Tecnhology From Sparkle |
| Author: Cássio Lima |
Date: February 17, 2009 - 9:17 AM PST |
| Category: Cooling |
| More Info: http://www.sparkle.com.tw/News/SP_DLC/news_SP_DLC_en.html |
Sparkle has announced its newest cooling technology for video cards. It is based on diamond sputtering, where a diamond-like carbon (DLC) membrane is added on the video card heatsink’s fins. According to Sparkle with this technique the heat generated by the GPU and memory chips is transferred quicker, thus improving the overall performance of the cooler. In tests conducted by Sparkle, the working temperature of one GeForce 9500 GT could be reduced by 5° C using diamond-like carbon membrane when compared with a traditional cooling solution. In addition to improving heat dissipation, the use of diamond-like carbon membrane helps protect the fins from scratches. Sparkle is analyzing whether they will use this technology in commercial products.  click to enlarge

| CES 2009: Thermaltake Shows Xpressar RCB400G Cooler |
| Author: Cássio Lima |

| Category: Cooling |
| More Info: http://www.xpressar.com |
During this CES Thermaltake showed Xpressar RCB400G, a cooler using phase changing technology, a fancy name for what everybody knows as a refrigerator. Xpressar RCB400G uses the same idea and components as a refrigerator or a freezer. The very cold air produced by the equipment is blown through a pipe to a copper block that is attached on top of the CPU or GPU. The product has an LCD display that monitors the CPU or GPU temperature. Xpressar RCB400G takes four 5 ¼” bays and instead of using stiff pipes, as its little brother Xpressar RCS100, it uses a flexible one that allows you to easily move it inside the case. No word on pricing and availability.  click to enlarge
