“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.”...
