Intel was delivering with its CPU watercooling

A paper from Intel shows that the firm is studying the possibility of supplying cooling water with some of its processors. These systems are sold with Sandy Bridge processors E LGA2011 premium for overclockers. As a reminder, these chips should be available during the fourth quarter of this year and have a large cache to optimize each thread and a memory controller to four channels.

These processors are the most likely to benefit from a cooling system further. So a break with air systems that Intel relatively simple book boxes in versions of its processors. The question is whether this strategy is really interesting. The audience for the Sandy Bridge E has the knowledge to build your own water cooling system and often buys a processor OEM version and not boxed.

Intel could still try to target wealthy clients, but have limited knowledge and would like to try. Intel does not seem to have made a decision yet. The paper says he does studying the issue and shows the H50 kit of Corsair that is made by Asetek. Intel could be in talks with Asetek or CoolIT, which is a new Corsair partner for the purchase of systems hit a logo of the caster.
