Hardcore Computer creates customized computers that are prepped and primed for optimized performance. So it shouldn't come as a shock that they've come up with a new product meant to improve performance while keeping the heat producing components cool.
The Reactor is a a new computer model designed by Hardcore Computer that keeps the motherboard, CPU, memory, video card and power supplies immersed in Core Coolant, a dielectric fluid that's meant to keep the hot parts cooled off. Not to mention, the Reactor looks like a blue fish tank of sorts, which if you'll pardon the pun, is cool.

CoolIT demo overclocked liquid-cooled HD 4870 X2 on video
Back when they announced their Dual Drive Bay VGA cooling system for ATI's storming HD 4870 X2, CoolIT CEO Geoff Lyon told us that by using the liquid-cooled setup they'd managed to overclock the video card by over ten percent. We're sceptical by nature here at SlashGear, though, and so CoolIT have released a video demonstrating their setup.

CoolIT liquid-cooling for HD 4870 X2: overclock GPU to 880MHz
They may not be the first liquid cooling system for the ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2 that we've seen - Asetek's setup yesterday beat them to it - but CoolIT's does have the bonus of being marketed to consumers not just OEMs. CoolIT worked with AMD to develop a liquid cooling system that would make overclocking the X2 both straightforward and stable; in fact, they can push the GPU up 13.5-percent, and the memory up by almost the same amount.

Lian Li’s cooling chassis for Xbox 360
If you’ve run into trouble with your Xbox 360 overheating, then the PC-XBO1 chassis from Lian Li may be a great solution for you. The chassis was specifically designed for the X360 and promises to keep your system cool.
The $150 chassis has a 120mm fan to constantly cool your system and promises “silent, vibration-free” gaming as well as keeping your system cool. Putting your Xbox 360 in the chassis will undoubtedly take a little effort, so it’s not a great solution for people who aren’t tech savvy.

When a new must-have graphics card comes out, you can end up dropping a lot of money to have the latest-and-greatest. Many people will want to hold off until prices drop, or just get an older card at a discount. However, if your machine must be the best and the fastest, why not take that new card and overclock it? You're probably going to need some better cooling, which is why CoolIT is always on top of things with their liquid cooling solutions. Their latest is for the new GeForce GTX280 and GTX260 cards.

AMD Phenom X4 overheat revisited: cooling tweaks save budget boards
After AMD was forced to address the potential overheating issues experienced by the higher-speed processors in its Phenom X4 range earlier this week, new testing suggests that workarounds can be implemented so that the 9750 and 9850 chips will work with motherboards not using AMD's recommended 790 chipset. AnandTech found that, with four low-cost boards claiming support for AMD's 125W processors, modifications including tweaked or aftermarket heatsinks or an additional, targeted 120mm fan would significantly boost stability. The compatibility claims of those tested had not in fact been validated by AMD themselves.

SlashGear Review – CoolIT PURE
When you want to get the most performance out of your gaming rig, you’ll naturally want to try and overclock it. However, you have to deal with the excess heat put off by your CPU (or whatever component you’re overclocking). One option is to get a bigger heatsink and throw in some extra fans, which while it may do the trick, it can make your computer sound like a small hurricane. That’s when you should start thinking about a liquid cooling system. They’ll keep your computer running ice cold without creating all of that noise.
Of course if you’ve never actually set up a liquid cooling system, it probably looks a bit overwhelming. There are several different components you’ll need to carefully assemble, not to mention the cost of actually acquiring said parts. To the novice, it can seem like much more work than it’s worth. That’s why this PURE from CoolIT can be quite appealing. It’s a self-contained liquid cooling system that is supposed to be simple install. I’ve had a chance to test one out, and I’ve shot a video of the installation process. Hit the jump to see the results.
