More Liquid Cooling Diagrams
The new cooling system is apparently necessary for higher density PowerPC 970FX chips according to the Apple senior director of desktop product marketing:
The processor was built using the 90-nanometer process. When you do that, you challenge the power density. You could see the same problem happening with Intel's 90-nanometer chips.

(View all)it has a pump
it ain't a heat pipe
it is water cooling
At the bottom it says all the new models are 970FX chips. I wonder how those compare at the same clock speed to the old 970s.
AH. That's my question too... I didn't know until now that the "new" 1.8 and 2.0 dualies were the 970fx....
I'd love to see a comparison or hear more details (links) on the differences.
Is this diagram thing getting old or is just me??
It's not just you.It's only water cooling, nothing to get too over excited about.
