Packard Bell is hoping that its new ipower line of gaming machines and Asetek’s liquid cooling solution will equal Nirvana for PC gamers. Asetek’s liquid cooling solution is now standard with any ipower PC. The Asetek liquid cooling system uses hybrid cooling technology which cools the GPU with a liquid cold plate while the memory and power sub-systems are cooled by forced air convection. Its already in use for the new nVidia GeForce 9800GTX and GeForce 9800GX2 graphics cards.
According to Philippe Henry, Digital Home Product Marketing & Sales Director at Packard Bell, “Our users are heavy gamers. They demand fast and powerful systems capable of handling the challenges in terms of graphics and speed. However, when pushing the speed and performance envelope, heat, noise, and reliability are put at risk. With Asetek’s liquid cooling solution, our heat, noise, and reliability specifications have been met — and exceeded. Liquid cooling is the new standard for gaming computers rapidly replacing inferior air cooled designs. The Asetek solution is simply the best we can find.
Although not as well known in North America, Packard Bell ipower systems are reported to be very popular among serious PC gamers and computer enthusiasts in Europe. The inclusion of the Asetek’s liquid cooling solution is a nice bonus.

Not as well known in North America because apparently they don’t even ship over here. Just checked out their site. Before you even get to look at the computers, it has you choose your country. All of the countries are in Europe. Hmm…it also appears that you can’t even customize the PC you’d be getting. You’re stuck with all 2 of their ipower selections, neither of which are good enough to go crazy over. 3GB of RAM on the expensive one? WTF?
I didn’t realize that Pakard Bell still made PC’s……Weren’t they the Radio Shack PC?
Go Marlins!!!!
