$10,000 AI designed CPU cooler
A team consisting of Skatterbencher who’s renowned for overclocking prowess; Diabatix, specializing in generative AI for thermal solutions; 3D Systems for additive manufacturing; and finally ElmorLabs for overclocking gear put together a unique cooler.
The team took ElmorLabs’ existing Volcano LN2 container as a reference point, then used Diabatix’s ColdStream Next AI to generate an improved design. 3D Systems then 3D printed a prototype using oxygen-free copper powder. The cutting-edge process commanded a steep $10,000 price tag – a far cry from the $260 cost of the original Volcano.
The design did do better than the stock Volcano. Using 500mL of LN2, it hit -133°C, while the Volcano stopped short at -100°C
