Amari - computer

The Armari Computers XCP (eXtreme Concept Prototype) was built to be the world's fastest PC. The product is styled to reflect the cutting edge technology. All of the engineering and industrial design was completed by our team.

The concept uses the same liquid immersion cooling as Cray supercomputers. Designed and built to showcase a new Intel motherboard, this one-off machine now lives at Intel's UK HQ. The computer's 'brain' is immersed in fluorinert solvent, this cascades over waterfalls at either end when it is heated by the processors, the fluorinert is cooled through a water heat exchanger whereupon the heat is further removed by radiators at the ends.

The pump, heat exchanger and radiator are all contained within an aluminium chassis, while 25mm solid acrylic is used for the superstructure. Fluorinert is twice as dense as water and has considerably lower viscosity requiring automotive grade hydraulics for effective sealing. Its weight, when fully loaded with fluorinert, is around 200 kg.
