Thermaltake has unveiled the Pacific MX1 Plus water block, which allows for liquid cooling of your processors. Following the Pacific W7, Thermaltake announced this new device during an online presentation in place of the canceled COMPUTEX 2020 event.
Why use a liquid cooling system?
The number of transistors in the CPU increases, and they switch at increasingly higher frequencies. As a result, the microprocessor dissipates more heat, causing overheating . This is where liquid cooling comes in, as it allows for more efficient heat exchange compared to air cooling. The liquid circulates through the CPU's heatsink and absorbs the heat, which is then dissipated to the radiator located further back in the cooling loop.
Because the cooling system is more efficient , users can overclock the CPU. The transistors don't overheat and can work faster without any issues. Experienced overclockers can even push the CPU to twice its maximum capacity. Furthermore, the liquid cooling system reduces the noise emitted by fans in air cooling systems. This is because the fans used in a liquid cooling system don't need to spin as fast to dissipate heat.
Features of the Pacific MX1 Plus waterblock
Thermaltake is a brand produced by Thermaltake Technology Co., Ltd. Founded in 1999, the company is known for producing PC cooling systems. One of the company's latest products is the Pacific MX1 Plus water block , which was unveiled online. It's a liquid cooling system. The Pacific MX1 Plus measures 93.4 x 93.4 x 52.2 mm and weighs 670 g. It features a 2-pin temperature sensor and a control box compatible with control software such as TT RGB Plus.
Inside, there's a nickel-plated copper heatsink with fins spaced 0.15 mm apart. The Pacific MX1 Plus waterblock features 12 LEDs and a 3-pin ARGB interface, capable of displaying 16.8 million colors. This cooling system is compatible with AMx, FMx, 775, 115x, 12xx, and 1366 sockets. It consumes 2.4 watts with a nominal input voltage of 5 volts. The company has not yet announced the price of the Pacific MX1 Plus waterblock.
If you want to overclock your PC, this Pacific MX1 Plus water block is recommended to ensure good CPU cooling.
