Liquid Cooling a Alienware M18x Laptop
Hello all and first up appologies if this subject has already been discussed somewhere else on this forum.
While browsing the internet today I come across something very interesting but have been unable to find much information on it.
It seems a company named Asetek has or is developing a liquid cooling system that will fit inside laptops, for their display prototype they used a M18x R1.
Here is the link.
The results looked very impressive, overall there was a 23% or greater improvement in GPU and CPU power with a reduction in both temps.
Does anyone know if this is still in concept phase or is it available to the public?
Another question is, has Dell considered including this setup in their future laptops.
That would be a feature worthy of an alienware laptop, and imagine the overclocking you could do with the new gen CPU's and GPU's - 23% improvement on a new 4GB GTX780 would make it a 5GB GPU - or near enough, and 23% on the new haswell processor would put it into the high 4GHz range, maybe even 5GHz
thanks in advance to anyone who can help with this question

Hello AndrewSi!
For some reason they haven’t implement the liquid cooling system on Alienware laptops, however you can post it in ideastorm.

well I actually had a email convo. with astek and its still a prototype since according ot them dell dosent seem to think its was necessary and cost wouldnt be appealing.... that's from astek themselves.... now if its true( sounds about right)
dell is shooting themselves with not adding this but I can see dell's side if not many have beene asking about it either, why add something they think people have no interest ... so idea storm is an idea to get it out...
apparently it isn't a cheap part due to the fact its limited to M18x so supply/demand isn't there like say a 680M
so higher costs... loss of msata and a few other things but more efficennt and prolly make system last longer due to lower temps.. who knows what else cann be done with it ..
my idea would make it optional on most cpu but on extreme and such make it manidory/included cause you get ann extreme cpu I doubt your getting it for the nice sticker ..lol

Hi 89fordprobee, so did I here is a edited copy of the email
I understand the costs involved, but considering that Alienware laptops are in the top price bracket anyway I dont think it would be that much of an issue, if you have $3000 to $4000+ to spend on a gaming laptop then a few hundred extra is small change :)
With it also being a prototype there is always the potential that with extra funding and/or sponsorship a smalled version could be developed to suit the 17 inch laptops, if that happened Asetek would have a much larger market to sell to as Origin,Clevo, VX-7/Republic of gaming could use the system as well.
Idea storm is a good idea, I'm going to post there and well as some of the other forum Alienware owners use
