If there's one thing about the AI boom that doesn't make my eyes roll or make me feel a disquieting sense of impending doom and existential dread, it's the fact that many of the computing improvements for that industry will hopefully (emphasis on 'hopefully') trickle down into the PC gaming sphere. In-package liquid cooling seems to be quite the rage of late, and hopefully it'll be one of those things that makes its way to the PC gaming market.
Not even a week after a YouTuber made a DIY version of something similar, Intel has just shown off a water cooler that sits on top of the CPU package (instead of an IHS) and schlepps coolant through to… well, to cool to the chip, of course (via Tom's Hardware). The incredibly thin cooling solution has little copper microchannels that guide the coolant and can focus thermal relief on the spots that really need it.
