A new product from CoolIT Systems, a retrofit liquid-chilled cooling system for Xbox 360, that they will be showcasing in Las Vegas at the CES2006 from Jan. 4 - 8, 2006.
The guys at tgdaily.com posted more info and what are probably the first pictures of how the liquid cooling solution looks like in action:
Geoff Lyon, chief executive of CoolIT Systems, explained that the liquid cooling multiple thermo-electric coolers, which he calls MTECs, to chill the anti-freeze solution. The liquid then is pumped past both the Xbox 360's main and graphics processor. "Basically, the Xbox 360 cooler is an updated and modified version of our Freezone PC coolers," said Lyon.
While the liquid cooled Xbox 360 is a prototype, Lyon told us that it could become a retail product and adds, "At CES we will be gauging interest to see if we can go retail." Assuming the product goes retail, Lyon says that it may be sold as a retail customer kit, complete with tools and instructions for taking apart the Xbox 360, or as a unit to system integrators. "If we go to market, the cooler will likely take both forms," says Lyon.
