Last year, Straeacom released a chassis built in collaboration with Calyos, the model SG10. Its biggest feature is its powerful passive cooling capability, which can dissipate up to 600W of heat without using any fan, including 250W for the CPU and 350W for the GPU. In addition to being available in black and silver standard versions, Streacom also has a special copper version, although it is limited in terms of graphics card compatibility.
According to TechPowerUp, the SG10 Copper Edition chassis had only 6 products on the original graphics card compatibility list, which was selected based on the popularity of the graphics card at the time of the chassis development, but now the market has changed, and Nvidia and AMD have brought a new generation of products, so Streacom chose to make minor adjustments to the modular cooling solution and add support for 12 graphics cards. Strea Com will continue to expand the graphics card compatibility list by collecting and verifying more customer requests. In order to better meet the needs of customers, Strea Com has also made changes to the way orders are placed to help them understand their needs.
There's also a compatibility issue with new graphics cards, and Strea Com can't guarantee support for next-gen GPUs. As part of our ongoing commitment to compatibility, Streacom is offering every customer who purchases the SG10 Copper case a free cold plate upgrade, valid for two years from the date of delivery.
At the heart of the SG10 chassis is the internal recirculating heat pipe (LHP) system, which flows continuously around the loop, unlike the phase change of traditional heat pipes, which occurs in the opposite direction within the tube. The core technology is a patented solid-state capillary pump that creates a stream of pressurized steam into the condenser, where it cools back into the liquid and then flows to the evaporator, where it loops back and forth.
The dual aluminum heat sink module on the top of one side is used for CPU heat dissipation and the other side is used for GPU heat dissipation, both of which have their own inlet and outlet pipes and fittings, which means that it is a dual-loop structure. Inside the SG10 chassis, the motherboard and graphics card form a 90° angle to each other and are arranged in an X-shaped fashion. The CPU doesn't look much different from a regular all-in-one liquid cooler in terms of installation, but the GPU is a different story, and users need to remove the heat dissipation module of the graphics card and install Streacom accessories. Strea Com says that due to the complexity of installation, it provides a list of supported graphics cards.
