Watercooled Aluminum Casing

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the cooler-is-better dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Overclockers Online has posted a review of an all aluminium black Lian Li case equipped with a Z4 watercooler. Besides looking slick this product, that goes by the name Heat Seeker, performs very well." Part of me wonders when is enough, well, enough. Then I stuff that part into a box and try to justify buying one of these things ;)

    I was just sent here to this site by my boss. He makes me vely hardworking! He told me this site had lots of technical news and was good for my education. Instead I see lots of gay sex pictures! Why is that?

    And why dopes this Commander Taco guy keep emailing me about Taco Snotting?

    It's "Aluminium". Not "Aluminum".

    It's an abomination of the english language!

  3. The coming end of overclocking by Animats · · Score: 2, Troll
    The end of overclocking probably isn't far off. Signal propagation delay, rather than gate delay, is starting to limit CPU performance. Signal propagation delay is, of course, limited by the speed of light. Temperature and voltage don't matter.

    I'm not sure how far off this is, but it's getting close. I hear it talked about by people who design ICs.

    Supercomputers hit this wall years ago, and it killed Cray-type supercomputers, with physically-big CPUs built out of very fast logic elements. Seymour Cray once commented on one of his machines that if the gate delays were zero, it would only be 20% or so faster. Most of the delay was in the wires. All modern supercomputers are thus arrays of single-chip microprocessors, and Cray is defunct.
