CoolIT Systems Develops Liquid Cooling for Intel’s Skull Trail Motherboard

[Dashken]

Calgary, Alberta – June 12th, 2008 – CoolIT Systems announces its new “ST” line of liquid cooling solutions designed specifically to work with Intel’s D5400XS motherboard (formerly codenamed Skull Trail). The lineup consists of the Boreas MTEC Chassis ST and PURE ST both of which provide maintenance-free, aggressive cooling power to both CPUs and Chipset, reduce noise, and enhance system reliability. The PURE ST easily fits into any chassis with a 120mm fan mount and efficiently cools both CPUs and the chipset with near silent operation. The Boreas MTEC Chassis ST combines CoolIT’s most powerful MTEC technology in the Boreas with the well renowned Silverstone TJ07 chassis to create the ideal barebones kit for the most avid PC enthusiast to the experienced professional content creator. Both the Boreas MTEC Chassis ST and PURE ST are available from multiple distributors and online etailers, with street prices expected to be $899 and $269 respectively.

“CoolIT’s new ST lineup will enable PC Enthusiasts to fully maximize the performance of Intel’s new Skull Trail platform technology” said Geoff Lyon, CEO of CoolIT Systems. ” We’ve worked closely with Intel to develop this customized Skull Trail liquid cooling solution and the end result will excite PC Enthusiasts and Gamers world-wide .”

“We’ve been extremely impressed with CoolIT’s ability to enable gains in overclocking performance, even while still reducing system noise and providing a low-maintenance, simple installation.” remarks Erik Cubbage, Product Marketing Engineer for Intel corporation. “The new ST coolers combined with our enthusiast D5400XS motherboard yield mind-boggling computing performance that is exciting the industry.”

CoolIT Systems will be working alongside Intel to develop liquid cooling solutions for future Intel Desktop Boards, as well as other applications which will launch in the near future.

Looking good on CoolIT they have some high end stuff !!

Cheers Dashken

It should perform well. CoolIT has some good coolers so far and this looks like the older models

Hmm, i wonder does it work well for gpu too? Sigh, all these stuff impossible to get it here unless we import it =/

Single 120mm rad on SkullTrail = FAIL.

rofl.That i won't know..only teh expert Max_87 will know

Not just their watercooling systems, in fact most of their TEC based cooling systems are made of fail Tested and proven by many. They are fine for stock and moderately overclocked processors, but once you increase more voltage, the performance is more or less the same level as a RM200 high end aircooler, sometimes even worse than that. Most important of all, they are way too overpriced.

FAIL!

Indeed..was thinking of getting the cooler for ATI cards and it cost like RM1100 -_-...

Hopefully we will find out ourselves soon

Keep in mind CoolIT is mostly into OEM cooling solutions as I am told. We will see how there products perform and go from there.

Well it's perfectly fine when you use it on stock systems, nothing wrong with that (the price is wrong though), it will outperform any cooling solutions available with a significant lead. Yup, MUCH better than any cooling solutions, in fact, it is capable of going sub ambient temperatures on stock systems!

They are good for moderate overclocks too, but not when you try to push the chip to it's limit, ie 65nm C2D/C2Q @ 3.8-4GHz range with ~1.5-1.6V. This is where their TEC based cooling solutions fail, to the point where it performs even worse than a high end heatsink such as TRUE. Remember, you are spending at least 4-5 times more than a TRUE.

I'm against recommending anyone to buy these TEC coolers unless they really have too much money to play around with. Try posting in XtremeSystems and you will see what I mean Better get some fire extiguishers before you attempt that

The single 120mm rad on SkullTrail watercooler is an exception though. It is 100% confirmed to underperform, stock or overclocked doesn't matter
