Move over, Frore, there's a new player in town. A research team comprising boffins from the Danish Technological Institute and the Heatflow company have come up with a 3D-printed cooler that can draw a whopping 600 W off a chip fully passively, without any pumps or fans, 3D Printing Industry reports. The design is naturally aimed at datacenters first and foremost, though one can imagine a world where variations on the design could work on desktop PCs and workstations.
Should the presented figures pan out, to say this cooler is impressive is quite the understatement. The original specification set an already-ambitious target of 400 W, a figure that was exceeded by a nice, round 50%.
