Warranty backed overclocked PC

This is the collaboration between processor and PC industry, wonder how far we can push our limit further. Good to hear all these innovation though.

In the case of the Dell XPS 720 H2C, cooling is not a problem. The 720 is the first PC from a major OEM that includes a warranty-backed overclocked processor (currently an Intel® Core™2 Extreme quad-core processor overclocked to 3.67 GHz from stock 3.0 GHz). The key ingredient to support that supercharged processor is the 720’s unique two-stage cooling system.



Sauciuc worked directly with Dell engineers to design the cooling technology, called “H2Ceramic cooling.” The system actively cools the processor under high loads, and throttles down during less-demanding use or at idle. The result is a PC that CNET called “superquiet,” when compared with other boutique gaming systems, noting, “Dell's system stands out for its low noise level.”

“The H2C went from concept to consumer in only a year, which is unheard of in our industry,” says Sauciuc. “The engineer-to-engineer relationships we’ve forged make this kind of breakthrough happen.”
