It seems that EK is thinking of incorporating an RL AIO that makes use of a CPU block with peltier to greatly lower the temperature of the processor.

In a video of the popular YouTube channel Linus Tech Tips an EK heatsink has appeared that the owner of the video does not he can speak, as he tells us. As we can see, when he opens the box of the EK CPU block , it pixels a piece that shows on the screen, which gives us to understand that there is something new there that has not yet to be shown. However, if we advance a bit in the video we will see that, during Windows startup, the processor (an Intel Core i9 – 10900 K) is at temperatures around 0ºC .

While you are assembling the PC it is observed that, being almost finished the assembly, add this element but we can’t see anymore. However, something that we already know and that is capable of offering at that size some temperatures of the style is the peltier effect , a thin plate that on one side gets very hot at the cost of cooling a lot on the other. In this way, the hot side is dissipated by a heatsink (surely of considerable size) while the other remains quite cold.

We can see temperatures in idle (rest) below ambient temperatures

This effect is achieved by applying a peltier cell, which requires large amounts of energy. That is why, while you are mounting the wiring (and when you take the block out of the box) you can see a PCIe cable sticking out of the CPU block . This is something that we already saw last year in the AIO Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut liquid cooling, being a finalist in the EHA awards 2020. At the moment EK has not said anything about it, but we will find out when it is announced.

With 15 Years ago I started overclocking my PC to get every extra FPS I could in games and scratch a few milliseconds in SuperPi, while I was constantly posting about hardware on the Geeknetic forum as a user and reader. They were probably so fed up with continually reading me on the forum that I became part of the writing team, where I continue to report on the latest in technology. Astrophysics and PC games are the hobbies that, after hardware, cover most of my free time.
