Asetek Redefines Liquid Cooling with Solution Integrated into HP Blackbird 002 Gaming PC

Broenderslev, Denmark, September 6, 2007 – Asetek, the market leader of thermal management solutions for semiconductors, is proud to announce 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 and helped develop the thermal management solution for the HP Blackbird 002. The HP Blackbird 002 exemplifies how utilizing liquid cooling and properly addressing system thermals can raise the performance limits and significantly reduce noise.

“We are honored and proud that an innovation and market leader like HP has chosen Asetek as a partner for the Blackbird project,” said André Sloth Eriksen, CEO and Founder, Asetek. “Blackbird is an example of true end user value, with outstanding performance and low noise, and we are pleased that we could contribute to this program with our cutting-edge liquid cooling solution and expertise in the enthusiast and gaming markets.”

“We put a lot of thought into how to cool Blackbird and the Asetek LCLC is better than anything we’ve seen before. We believe our simple, pre-sealed, liquid cooling design blows competing solutions away,” said Rahul Sood, Chief Technology Officer, Global Gaming Business Unit, HP. “Asetek helped us integrate a liquid cooling solution that offers customers the tangible benefits of being efficient, quiet and reliable without the marketing hype.”...

Marco's interest in computing and technology dates all the way back to his early childhood. Even before being exposed to the Commodore P.E.T. and later the Commodore 64 in the early ‘80s, he was interested in electricity and electronics, and he still has the modded AFX cars and shop-worn soldering irons to prove it. Once he got his hands on his own Commodore 64, however, computing became Marco's passion. Throughout his academic and professional lives, Marco has worked with virtually every major platform from the TRS-80 and Amiga, to today's high end, multi-core servers. Over the years, he has worked in many fields related to technology and computing, including system design, assembly and sales, professional quality assurance testing, and technical writing. In addition to being the Managing Editor here at HotHardware for close to 15 years, Marco is also a freelance writer whose work has been published in a number of PC and technology related print publications and he is a regular fixture on HotHardware’s own Two and a Half Geeks webcast. - Contact: marco(at)hothardware(dot)com
