Cool
As we relayed in one of our post-E3 articles, the booth at E3 that we thought was easily one of the best was CoolIT Systems’. CES has already proven the same. CoolIT is a company that just continues to grow beyond our and probably their own expectations. They had, by my unofficial and probably wrong count, 6 new products to show us today. Easily the coolest one of these new innovations was the Boreas cooler. The Boreas cooler is not limited to a single CPU application. Instead, it has blocks for CPU, GPU, and chipset. It uses an unprecedented 12 TECs, and that’s not even the coolest thing about it. The Boreas is the first of CoolIT’s product line to incorporate something called Predictive Cooling. Whereas most “managed” thermoelectric cooling devices base the amount of cooling power being used on the current temperature which is read from a thermistor somewhere on the device itself, Predictive Cooling uses a USB based controller that interacts with software to increase cooling power based on system stress. When a program starts to take up a lot of resources, Predictive Cooling will have already signaled the controller to pump up the TEC power to increase the cooling capacity.
