That model uses a cooling substance that is not allowed in the EU and NA, he is correct.

thanks for the clarification

this is not true
now if you’re saying the specific chiller is not certified to be sold in the US or EU your point is irrelevant because there are numerous chiller certified for sale within each region.

Glycol is allowed everywhere, there many new refrigerants used that replace any that are banned in NA and EU
Or here, wikipedia:

all the docs say they use HCFC (R407c) or HFC (R134a) but for some reason it still says Iced medium R22, i chalk this up to chinglish
you do know I refrigeration is my job right?
fair. If they don´t sell it outside Asia, there may be dog souls in there or something.
Am aware of that.
Edit:
You are the expert, but the part between the chiller and the CPU block may have been Glycol?
Sure, but the unit they used doesn’t. It used R22 (Chlorodifluoromethane), which is currently illegal to import for cooling purposes in the US, and illegal to use in the rest of NA and the EU. The unit used is the HC-1000B, which is manufactured in I think China.
So, in reality, this cooling solution is not available, and in fact illegal, in NA and the EU.
Here is the pdf of the manual
all countries who dont give a shit about how tan australia gets will have r22, not sure on the status of 407c (probably phasing out as well) and 410a will be what we see.
@magicthighs, please see the variety of refrigerant options available with this unit and understand your point is still invalid.

Pff, that’s not exotic at all.
This thread has stopped being productive entirely
We are on track though. Give it a day or two, it will cool off again

Ok then if we can stop the tit for tat argument cherry picking of every post in this thread that would be great and I wont lock the thread for now
mkay?
1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane is also illegal in the EU.
do you see r134a on that list?
R410a is legal in the EU and what do you know it’s an option for the HC-1000b
Maybe intel should just add a disclaimer to their clock speeds, something like “clockspeeds only attainable if cooling solutions suggested are actually legal in your jurisprudence”?

Well, be honest now. The demo was held in a place where R22 is legal. R134a has about what, 60% of the cooling capacity of R22? What do you think they used considering that? How well would this system perform with R134a if they did in fact use R22?
… Or by how much would you have to scale up the whole thing to not end up with a literal meltdown?
That could be a benefit, actually, might be able to power the system with nuclear fusion if you reach high enough temperatures!
why do you keep talking about 134a? I provided the chillers’ manual and a screenshot of the optional refrigerants but you refuse to face reality. fun fact 410a is more efficient than 22.
