Revolutionary CPU Cooler Developed by Sandia Labs

Researchers working for the Sandia National Laboratories developed a unique new architecture for air-based cooler. The “Sandia Cooler” as it is known improves the cooling efficiency of conventional air based coolers by an order of magnitude and more while drastically reducing noise and keeping the entire unit free of dust.

Unlike traditional air coolers, the Sandia Cooler transfers heat efficiently from a stationary base plate to a rotating at 2000 RPMs in a counterclockwise motion. This architecture forces dead air to move due to a powerful centrifugal pumping effect which increase the efficiency of the cooler by up to 30X compared to a conventional design. The entire unit hovers very close to its base providing a drastic improvement in aerodynamic efficiency which in turns improves the acoustic performance of the unit making it extremely quite.
