Thermaltake IX700 Case - PC in a Liquid Bath
The exhibition Computex 2025 Thermaltake unveiled the final version of the IX700 immersion-cooled system unit prototype. All components, including the graphics card, processor and power supply, are inside. sealed tank with dielectric liquid, which absorbs and dissipates heat. From the first demonstration at CES 2025 to the current revision, the case has received many improvements - in particular, added information LCD display, and the appearance itself became closer to the serial product.
Inside the transparent case with 10mm tempered glass you can see Asus TUF Gaming graphics card and Thermaltake PSU submerged in liquid. Tubes leading to the body extend from the body. external heat exchanger supporting up to four 420mm radiators and twelve 140mm fansThis solution allows for the removal of up to 1800 W of heat, which is several times more than that of classic liquid cooling systems.
The system is designed for workstations and enthusiasts who want to build a PC without noisy coolers and overheating. At the same time, the appearance of the device resembles a regular system unit with connected tubes, but the operating principle is much closer to data centers with liquid cooling.
Thermaltake plans to launch the IX700 for sale at around $2000, however, the actual cost may be several times higher due to the coolant. Several liters will be required for full operation a special dielectric mixture, the cost of which reaches $2000-3000 per liter. This means that the liquid alone can cost more than the rest of the PC, including the case itself.
For comparison, Enermax at Computex showed off ready-made PCs with immersion cooling based on AMD Threadripper and four RTX 5090, which will sell for $50. Perhaps this approach will be more practical than self-assembly, where the cooling alone will cost tens of thousands of dollars.
