Zalman's LQ1000 Case Integrates Liquid Cooling

Zalman has introduced its latest low-noise case, the integrated liquid cooling LQ1000.

Unlike previous Zalman cases that used a heat pipe assembly, the LQ1000 has a traditional water pump and flexible hose for connecting the case's sinks to CPU and graphics coolers. A passively-cooled finned side panel and fan-assisted rear radiator remove heat, while a lighted flow indicator shows the bottom-mounted pump in action.
