Actually it should be significantly better, since they're not using semiconductor refrigeration the temperature can't ever go below room temperature, which unless otherwise specified should be 25°C, which should be defined as zero for a radiator, so 31.2°C should be ~74% lower! How silly of them to define 0°C as zero on the scale.
More stupid products for the seemingly endless supply of stupid people humanity is pumping out on a daily basis. But eh, someone may as well profit from all of those self-inflicted personal finance wounds.
why just why?! no one has ever asked for this kind of s***, looks like they ran out of ideas and just want to come up with anything you to set the target that they came up with new product, sigh....
Anyone remember the Tech TV episode when they submerged a populated working motherboard in a dielectric (?) solution that was chilled? The cpu didn't have cooler or heat spreader and you could see the liquid bubbling off of it.

At this point, it might make more sense to just have a watercooling-enabled motherboard.Alternatively, submerging the entire case in mineral oil might be for the best.

Why not? I remember solutions like that.SirMaster - Monday, August 5, 2019 - link

Find me a DDR4-3600 RAM that does not already have heatspreaders, lolsatai - Thursday, August 1, 2019 - link
The last slide is a complete bullshit.The low temp is 304.35 kelvins, the high one is 311.45 kelvins. So the improvement is about 2%.

Well it's a little better than that -- there is a 15-17C delta so there should be a 15-17K delta as well since C is simply an offset from K.satai - Friday, August 2, 2019 - link
You are right, of course. I did a typo transcribing it on the phone. Thanks for noticing.s.yu - Thursday, August 1, 2019 - link

Bright colors AND watercooled? We're really flying now, kids!Slash3 - Thursday, August 1, 2019 - link

*just want to come up with anything to set the target, thus they came up with a new product regardless of the need, sigh....GreenReaper - Friday, August 2, 2019 - link
If you build it, they will buy?qlum - Thursday, August 1, 2019 - link
Interesting product for showcase builds. I would never buy it myself but if you are going for looks I can see this work really well.Brazos - Thursday, August 1, 2019 - link
