Rochester, Minnesota (March 16, 2010) Hardcore Computer, Inc., the industry’s most innovative computer design and manufacturing company, delivered breakthrough performance at the Game Developer Conference with the launch of Reactor®X, based on the new Intel® Core™ i7-980X six-core processor.
As with its original product, Reactor®, which was launched last year, Reactor®X was developed for hardcore computer users such as gamers, graphic artists, audiophiles, industrial designers, engineers, medical imaging technicians and military technologists. Reactor®X is designed for performance and quality with many patented technologies and innovations.
Hardcore Computer, Inc. submerges all of the heat-producing components — the CPU, motherboard, video card, memory and power supplies — in a custom dielectric fluid they have named Core Coolant™, eliminating heat-related computing limitations. Reactor®X incorporates the benefits of liquid submersion cooling with twin additive and redundant server-class 650Watt power supplies; audiophile-quality Creative Labs X-Fi, EAX, 7.1-channel Dolby® digital surround sound embedded on the motherboard; three on-board SATA solid-state drives configured in an ultra-fast RAID 0 array; and two truly hot-swappable external hard drives.
Form following function, Reactor®X has a distinctive look. Locating the majority of I/O on the top of the case for easy access resulted in the unique Spinal Cord™ cable management system, another industry first for a desktop system. The system chassis incorporates handles that serve as a means for transporting Reactor™. The handles also aid in the removal of the system core, which includes all of the computer’s active components, from the liquid for maintenance or upgrades. Over-clocking enthusiasts will appreciate a CMOS battery and BIOS reset switch located on the lid, inside a push-push access hatch door. Reactor®X also sports user-selectable internal tank and chassis base lights.
The result is a cool and quiet state-of-the-art system that provides full-throttle processing, sustained over-clocking, HD/3D realism with maximum frame rates, an easily upgradable modular design and a rugged custom chassis. The liquid submersion technology also ensures stable, 24/7/365 hardware reliability.
"Based on our customers experience with the original Reactor®, we’re certain that anyone that requires or demands a system with fast boot and application loads, reliability, cool and quiet operation and over-the-top benchmarks will appreciate the innovations that Hardcore Computer put into Reactor®X with the new Intel six-core processors.” said Chad Attlesey, CTO, Hardcore Computer, Inc.
“Hardcore Computer features the new six-core Intel Core i7 processor, the industry’s first six-core processor said CJ Bruno, VP, GM Intel Americas.”Bringing innovative solutions that deliver breakthrough performance and proven reliability is a key benefit our Intel Channel Partner Premier Members such as Hardcore Computer bring to the industry."
