Zotac’s booth had a unique mod sitting up on a shelf on the back wall. It looked like someone had taken a motherboard, graphics card, and memory, dumped it in a fish tank of water and flipped the switch on the power.
What was really happening, however, was that a modder took some special nonconductive liquid engineered by 3M which has a boiling point of 34 degrees, and used it to cool all the really hot components in his case. Once the liquid hits the hot spots, such as the overclocked CPU or the graphics processor, the liquid boils and carries the heat away. At which point the gas is transfered back to a liquid and then the process repeats itself.
The rest of Zotac’s product displays included some microATX Z68 motherboards and some newer ZBox mini PC’s with upgraded CPU’s from Intel and AMD. One new Zbox with AMD internals includes an E-450 APU running at 1.66GHz and an HD 6320 graphics chip.
