Thats pretty cool, pun intended. What i dont understand is why no one still made a 2 compartment case isolating GPU and CPU. Not having to mix each other could do wonders for cooling imo. They are shipping more and more cases with raiser cables to fit wherever so i dont think thats the issue of the design.

Its why i have been using my Temjin Tj07 for like forever, its the best WCing case around, still.

right, this to drop temps by 6*C, instead of water-cooling and dropping temps by ~30*C, and with use of an external rad/resorator, even possible to do without a (rad) fan.. @PPC a separate compartment would mean layout changes for EVERY board design, way to costly and waste of time, when 90% of the market dont even care about it ..

Not necessarily. You could make a 2 story desktop case that has its first level for mobo with PSU and then just a straight upward riser cable that goes into a separate level just for GPU (and maybe some HDD's or something). Like stacking 2 racks of server cases on top of each other with dedicated "wind tunnel" effects. I 100% agree that the market does not indicate this would be profitable but i'm thinking of making one for myself. Could be a pretty efficient design thermally and acoustically albeit a bit more space demanding.

Good on HP for trying something different.

I remember when a similar system was offered back in the day to be the first to cross 1ghz. Back when you could overclock an AMD chip by 50%. Anyway..

It just looks like a rad on top with some nice standoffs for airflow, you could 3d print this for pennies for almost any case just need to drill holes for the tubes

To call this a "Cryogenic chamber" is quite an exaggeration, i have being doing this since 2008 inside my cases with cardboard and some fans

What kind of power usage does the fridge thingy consume a year? in comparison to like... a minifridge? Or is my understanding of this thing incorrect?

TBH that space was used for a vapor/chiller. With the AMD Athlon Slot A 700 @ 1Ghz.

So either im retarded and dont understand the ingenious idea or HP out of their minds and they offer us a " a hole in PC case to install radiator outside" as cryogenic chamber. How its going to be different from installing it on the top of the case and setting fans to in-take?

Me: Wow, a cryo chamber! That must mean a sub-zero or at least refrigerated compartment to put my rads in? HP: No, it's a box with a couple of holes in it.

@PPC then just get the stacked Tt cases they offer, or an external gpu case... i still see it making way more sense to cool both chips with water, eliminating the need for compartments, and temps will be way lower than any air cooler.

Just run two AIOs, put one on the gpu and one on the cpu like I did and vent both of them outside the case solved.... I use the Kraken on my gpu with a cpu aio cooler on it which keeps my gpu cool at all times non of my components go over 50c under load.

@FookDat might wanna spend 2 min of research on why using a cpu block isnt a good idea to use for gpu (chips) cooling.
