Dell is comming up with some new Heat Sink ??

[andy04]

Any Idea what he's talking about...

Quote from News.com:
"For gamers, gear coming from Dell this year includes the H2C, a novel heat sink that the company says can cool off a processor more effectively than a fan blowing air onto the chip or than water-cooled devices. It's designed for people who overclock their computers, or run them faster than their designated speed."

Great, so you're encouraged to void your warranty...very nice.

Dell's new XPS 710 H2C Edition "Black Ice" gaming PC might look sexy on the outside, with that new "midnight-black" casing, but there's a whole lot more going on the inside to get excited about. At $5,499, the box is no steal, but it's plenty of frills, including Dell's new H2C cooling system we heard about earlier, which works a bit like a car radiator, with a fluid chiller with ceramic-based thermoelectric cooling to keep it all frosty. Dell also squeezed in an Intel Core Extreme QX6700 quad-core processor, which is factory overclocked to 3.2GHz, dual NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTX graphics cards, 4GB of 667MHz DDR2 memory, a pair of 160GB 10,000rpm HDDs with room for two more, dual optical drive (Blu-ray was mentioned in the keynote, but it doesn't sound like it made it into the base configuration), plus Dell is tossing in a 2007WFP 20-inch display and Dell AS501 flat-panel speakers. Since this is a whole gaming package -- apparently consumers go for that whole bundle thing -- Dell is including a Razer Tarantula keyboard and Razer Copperhead mouse. No mention of Vista, though: it's XP Media Center 2005 all the way here. Should be shipping now.

I think its the same cooling that Alienware uses on their gaming systems.

It sounds like a peltier with watercooling.
