Digital Storm launches a monstrous HydroLux cooling system for gamer PCs

Today Digital Storm is unveiling a high-end cooling system dubbed HydroLux for high-end gamer PCs.

The Fremont, Calif.-based PC maker has created a desktop system that combines liquid and airflow cooling with customizable control software. It’s just the sort of thing that hardcore gamers, who spend thousands of dollars on their computers, will need in order to cool off their systems. Gamers like to “overclock” their machines, or run them beyond the recommended specifications. That can cause overheating, but advanced cooling systems can compensate for that and let a machine run faster. The cooling system automatically adjusts to temperature fluctuations in real time.
