Hardcore Computer Reactor is liquid filled |
My gaming PC is liquid cooled and when people come into my office it blows their mind that you can have a computer cooled by water like a car. Liquid cooling if far from the most exotic cooling method serious enthusiasts use to keep their CPU frosty, but it’s still impressive to the non-enthusiast.
Hardcore Computer has taken liquid cooling to an entirely different level with its new Reactor gaming PC. The reactor is the first commercially available PC that uses full liquid submersion for cooling. All of the heat generating components are submerged in a dielectric fluid called Core Coolant.
The video cards, CPU, motherboard, RAM, and dual power supplies are all submerged. The dual 650W PSUs are redundant server style. The hard drives aren’t submerged and can be accessed via hot swappable bays on the side of the machine. The bad part (other than the price) is that it has to be crazy hard to upgrade something as simple as RAM with everything underwater. Still, you can’t deny the cool factor here.
