High Performance, Cool Running.
Liquid Cooled.
Just Plain Cool
Higher specs and demanding
applications mean hotter run-

Sony's®
advanced
liquid
cooling system handles heat

A unique liquid
flow heat pipe draws heat
away from the processor with
a side benefit of eliminating a
noisy CPU fan. Air intake from
middle section maximizes air
flow while minimizing noise.
