With Intel, AMD, NVIDIA have successively released a new generation of mobile processors and graphics cards, the game book has ushered in a large-scale update, and the mechanic has launched a water-cooled game book - the mechanic star 17 water-cooled version.
Water-cooled games are not unheard of. As early as 2016 and 2017, ASUS ROG has released a water-cooled design of the GX700, GX800, of which the latter is equipped with i7-7820HK processor, two GTX 1080 graphics cards, the back of the fuselage drag a huge independent water-cooled module.
Mechanic Release Star 17 adopts a new spliced geometric aesthetic ID design, all-metal body, thickness and weight control in place, especially the A-side uses a two-color contrast design, and has a colorful mechanic LOGO as decoration.
The water-cooled module is as independent as the external graphics card, connected to the fuselage through the water cooling pipe, improving portability, and maintenance is also very simple and convenient, only need to add pure water on the line.
In general, in order to release performance, high-end games will be "unscrupulous" in heat dissipation, and even use violent fans, which will naturally bring noise problems, and water cooling can take into account heat dissipation efficiency and silence.
Of course, at this stage, it is not realistic to integrate water cooling directly inside the notebook fuselage, and the external independent design of the mechanic is a direction, carrying will not be too laborious, and maintenance is more relaxed.
The mechanic also designed three operating modes for it, one is silent, the other is extreme performance, and the third is single air cooling, which can meet the needs of different scenes and take into account mobile portability.
In terms of configuration, the mechanic released the Star 17 using Intel's latest release of the 12th generation Core H series high-performance version, including i9-12900H, i7-12700H, are both taking into account the performance, power consumption of the size of the core design, single core Turbo up to 5GHz, comprehensive performance increase of about 25%.
The graphics card is NVIDIA's latest release of RTX 3080 Ti, RTX 3070 Ti, Ampere architecture, support ray tracing, up to 7424 stream processor cores, 16GB GDDR6 video memory, games, content creation can be done.
The screen reaches 17.3 inches, 2K resolution, supports high refresh rates of 165Hz and 240Hz, and covers 100% sRGB.
In addition, there are dual channels of DDR5-4800 memory, which can be expanded up to two 32GB, with a total capacity of 64GB; comes with a 512GB PCIe 4.0 high-speed solid-state drive, which also supports M.2 SSD expansion; the interface not only has multiple USB-A, USB-C, but also provides Thunderbolt 4, and the transmission bandwidth is up to 40Gbps.
Mechanic Star 17 Water Cooled Edition has been officially released on January 5, and will be listed for pre-sale on January 24 in various channels of mechanics.
