Asetek Redefines Liquid Cooling in HP Blackbird 002 PDF Print E-mail

   

Asetek delivers the first ever OEM adopted CPU and GPU integrated  liquid cooling solution for the HP Blackbird 002 Gaming PC.  The ultimate gaming machine designed for extreme performance and upgradeability!

Asetek engaged with the HP gaming team at a very early stage in the design process.  Utilizing its expert knowledge of the market and distinctive competencies in thermal management, Asetek addressed system thermals as well as mechanical and acoustic challenges. Asetek has delivered a state of the art liquid cooling solution which delivers a great end user experience with over-clocking headroom for both CPU and GPU, low noise and a future proof upgradeable design. 

 

The Asetek Advantage
Based on its proprietary IP, Asetek has developed a small, integrated device that offers not only the value proposition for HP, but also for the end user.
                                                                                                 
Acoustically superior

  • Eliminate noisy fans and operates practically silent

Out perform with over-clocking

  • Permanent performance boost

Future-proof, upgradeable and integrated design

  • Support for AMD and Intel, ATI and NVIDIA
  • An all integrated pump, reservoir and cold plate in one compact device, smaller than a traditional heat sink
  • Diasy chaining cold plates provides cooling for multiple components, such as 2 CPUs and 2 GPUs

Contributing to the system value proposition

  • Getting more out of the CPU and GPU with over-clocking
  • For the first time, the cost of liquid cooling can compete with high end air cooling
  • Solution accommodates different form factors, performance and noise levels

Reliability OEM can count on

  • Lifetime tested, maintenance free, with no worries about leaks or evaporation
  • Fast and foolproof installation, using the same mounting mechanisms as currently available solutions

The HP Implementation
The HP Blackbird 002 exemplifies how utilizing liquid cooling and properly addressing system thermals can raise the performance limits and significantly reduce noise.

  • Utilizing its expert knowledge of the market and distinctive competencies in thermal management, Asetek addressed system thermals as well as mechanical and acoustic challenges
  • LCLC delivers a great end user experience with over-clocking headroom for booth CPU and GPU
  • By over-clocking the HP Blackbird 002 from 3.0 GHz to 3.66 GHz the 3DMark06 score shows a processing power improvement of 22%
  • When running 2 x high-end CPUs and 2 x high-end GPUs the noise level is equivalent to bedroom ambient
