Exclusive Digital Storm Cooling System

Definitely looking forward to seeing the results of this new system..!

Well price talk isn't happening yet, so I guess ill have to wait 2-3 weeks for that answer? lol

I imagine it will be a single TEC, multi TEC's are really tough to get the kinks worked out.  so, assuming a single TEC, a single TEC will cool around 120-140 watts, so idle temps will be great, and could be super cold, if they let it run 100%, but then condensation would be an issue.  also light CPU usage will also have great temps, but once the heat load exceeds the TECs output the temps will start to rise, and temps won't be much better than a really good water cooling system. Now multi TEC's in one loop, are very difficult to get running correctly, and each TEC must be cycled to get decent efficiency, I have seen large arrays of TECs working correctly, but it is really tough to do. a single TEC is fairly in-expensive, but somewhat complicated, and a built in controller, that will also controll the fans will add to the price quite a bit, a multi TEC would be very expensive, and really, really complicated. lol

You know what would really suck   Getting down to the day before they release the new offerings then having a fatal flaw rear its ugly head ....  after waiting and waiting to order    Sometimes my weeks just go that way.

Originally posted by Alex This cooling system is going to be part of a complete package we offer as a certain model. It will be very difficult trying to upgrade an existing system with this pacakge. The costs alone will be very high. This type of system is designed for the very high-end crowd.   @MagiK, the system is currently going under testing to ensure it's perfect before we release this to customers.   @justin.kerr, just wait and see, that's all I can say bud

I'm holding you to two or three weeks Alex 

Starts to worry when he says VERY expensive..... I didnt like the idea of plunking down 16k for that other companies solution.....hope this isnt THAT far out in the hinterlands of deep pockets. 

heh, it's sorta like origin's massively ridiculous LC'd 360/PC combo. you can buy it, but really, it's just a mega publicity stunt in disguise to show the rest who's boss. aint that right 

Actually, this isn't "mega publicity stunt."

We're designing this to offer to our high-end customers. We have a lot of customers that build high end systems >$7K and all of them try to build the best system possible. Yet, they never are able to achieve ultra low temps or super high overclocks because they haven't had the time to test various items individually. This is where we come in. We're using our experience in offering a system where these type of customers don't need to waste time researching/guessing. We will now soon be able to offer them a solution that we've already done all the hard work on.

This is something we want to offer to those customers. This isn't just a publicity stunt.

o.O.....I spoke too soon then. Heh, that looks REALLY promising then, since a 980X SSDs and tri-480s already is within the good $5000 range. 

Good!!! Im back to the excited stage again instead of the scared stage   

980x puts out about the same heat as a 950, with equal overclocks

then why not have it as an option?
btw, can't wait!!

We've been fine tuning the system and have achieved even better temps!

Im kind of interested in what MoBo options are available with this as well.  I am kind of partial to the Asus Rampage III Extreme and the Gigabyte UD9  but Im not inflexible on the point, it isn't make or break.

You just keep making me a very happy future customer thanks for that info Alex!

is coretemp accurate? because i'm using it on my laptop (not from ds) and it says it runs around 104 degrees Celsius.

lol 104? screenshot plz
