CoolIT Chills Computers Even Better Now

CoolIT Systems today unveiled at CES some cool advanced liquid cooling solutions. The MTEC Contol Center module, which uses predicitive cooling technology to to anticipate heat production from the CPU and adjust cooling power accordingly, is one of those. It consists of a USB connected control board that allows full software interaction to dynamically control the cooling power and fan speeds of nearly any MTEC Chilling solution depending on the preferences of the end user.

One of several CoolIT Systems using this technology is  the new Boreas 12-TEC (Thermoelectric Cooler) chiller. This all-in-one solution applies CoolIT’s MTEC technology to chill the CPU, GPU, and chipsets allowing for reported better levels of overclocking performance. The Boreas is currently featured in systems from MAINGEAR and Biohazard.

AMD may have underestimated the RX 9070
Gigabyte's RX 9070 XT GPU.

AMD's upcoming RX 9000 series is still largely a mystery, but the cards are already out there -- and AMD was actually demoing the RX 9070 during CES 2025. We may not know any specs of the card at this point, but thanks to an early benchmark, we know that it does a surprisingly good job in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. Can it really compete against some of Nvidia's best graphics cards?

The RX 9070 was available for brief testing at the AMD booth, paired with the mighty impressive Ryzen 9 9950X3D. IGN spotted it and gave it a test run in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, which has a built-in benchmarking tool. Mind you, this is the non-XT model, meaning that it's not the flagship card -- but it's unclear just how much worse it'll be than the XT variant.
