Cooling System Shown To Improve Gaming Performance

New cooling system allows gamers to overclock processors to increase the level of performance without risking damage to the machine

Gamers are notorious for pushing their computers beyond the manufacturer-specified limits in order to squeeze a little more performance out of their machines. Unfortunately, when they consistently overclock their gaming computer and increase the voltages and frequencies beyond the intended levels, they risk unreliable performance and damage to their systems. A new cooling system from Digital Storm was recently released to address this problem.

The Digital Storm Cryo-TEC cooling system is based on the company’s previous hardware, the Sub-Zero Liquid Chilled system, but with the advances in manufacturing and technology it is now able to offer this component for significantly less than the previous model. For serious gamers, this is a chance to push their computer past the normal limits without having to invest too much money.

The system works on the same thermo-electric technology as the previous system, but the Cryo-TEC now uses a direct heat dissipation technology to improve the process. In other words, the thermo-electric cold plates are placed in direct contact with the processor to immediately remove the heat that inevitably builds up. Through this new technology, the cooling system is able to lower processor temperatures below zero degrees.

This system has the potential to change the landscape for gamers, since a gaming computer cooling system will now make it possible to run the processor at extremely high levels without the threat of overheating. A processor can be overclocked to even higher levels and the users can still expect to see the same reliable performance even while they continue to push their computer to its limits.

Overclocking a computer allows gamers to increase the frame rate, improve the graphics level, and run the game as smoothly as possible. Digital Storm’s new cooling system will allow gamers to keep up with the evolving game industry without risking damage to their high-performance machines.

Every year the gaming industry pushes the limits of mainstream computers, and in order to get the full experience, gamers need to have a machine that can provide the kind of power the games need. This leads to many gamers constantly upgrading their computers just to try and improve their performance a little bit.

Overclocking allows gamers to push their current computers to the next level without having to upgrade their major components. When the newest graphics-card killer comes out, gamers can increase the performance of their processors to keep up, and the right cooling system will ensure that it continues to work reliably without overheating.
