Cooling 272 Published by

Next to AMD Intel has recently confirmed its plans to sell special kits of the high-performance Sandy Bridge-E processors that in addition of the CPU will also include an Intel branded closed loop liquid cooler.

This is the first time that the chip maker will bundle any of its processors with a water cooling solution.

In addition to selling the liquid cooler as part of a kit, Intel also plans to release this solution separately (also a premier for the company), in order to address other platform as well.

The CPU water coolers that will be made available by Intel are built together with Asetek, a maker well renowned for its high-quality closed loop liquid coolers, and includes a water block and pump assembly that goes on top of the CPU and a 120mm radiator with a pre-fitted fan.

Both the pump and the fan were designed to feature blue illumination, which closely resembles the color of the Intel logo.

Pricing for the new coolers is unknown at this time, but these are expected to come out together with the first Sandy Bridge-E processors on November 14.
