CM are working on a 360mm AIO. It's set to cost about twice a normal AIO.
WC, in answer to that, no. The issue is because the TEC outputs 200w of heat on the hot side a 360 is barely enough for a CPU. I mean, you could probably get around it with more rads maybe.....
Problem is these have rubber skirts to stop moisture. So you would also need to come up with a way of doing that on the GPU WB also.

Stating that they can minimize the risk of condensation doesn't exactly fill me with confidence. It's common knowledge that condensation is a given with sub-ambient temps. Explaining exactly how they will minimize the risks is something they should have focused on more.

Watch Linus' video today. He explains it. They will have a controlled mode where the CPU can't go down below dew point, and an extreme mode where you accept that it may cause condensation. Most of the condensation will be in the middle of the hot and cold zone, hence the rubber skirt.
It's all ran by Intel's latest version of XTU. So it should be perfectly safe.
That is probably why there is no mention of AMD anywhere, because they are probably chuckling right now.
What i was thinking was if it was possible to use this tech to cool the water to a degree its still flowing successfully through a loop and thus allowing more heat removal via coolant. Leaving the TEC firmly attached to the CPU, but allowing that temp drop to assist in heat dissipation from the GPU via the loop itself. Would have been interesting considering im running 2x 480 rads at the moment.
Then again... its probably incredibly unnecessary since im way below thermal limits anyway. Curiosity got the better of me.

Der8auer has a new toy. That's great: there is a possibility of some amusing and informative entertainment on YouTube from Roman.
That is about the only useful thing to come out of this. Yeah, Intel is great with TECs, but what they should want to demonstrate is they are great with tech. How long have they been stuck on 14nm now? This won't reverse the obvious: in this tech space, Intel suck.

Intel are not great with TEC. They've always been the same, Intel are just using them because they know they are screwed.
It's so deliciously ironic how much they used to play on heat and power when it was Sandy VS Piledriver. Oh how the tables have turned. Now they are forgetting all about it, and making a cooler that uses 200w on its own to go with your 300w CPU.
They can't shrink is basically the truth to it. They've been trying for years, and continually keep failing. Every time they bring someone in who could help they end up leaving because of the toxic atmosphere within.

This cooler is a nice piece of design but i can't see it ever becoming mainstream enough, not with a 200 watt powerdraw attached to properly use it. It is a hugely niche thing just for those that like to go a little bit overboard but don't want to get into dry ice or LN2 cooling.
