The new 4.3 GHz Zeus Hurricane with 12 Xeon Westmere cores rolls out today, along with a
brand new look and design for the 4.5 GHz Glacier and 4.0 GHz Tornado.
Shown above: The Hurricane, water-cooled and overclocked to 4.3 GHz
Our new Hurricane model features a case design by Little Devil, and up to 12 radiators (3 separate "Quad Rads" {4 radiators}) that
are available in a wide variety of configurations to suite your CPU and GPU cooling needs (for example, two 4-way rads for the Xeon CPUs plus one
or two additional Quad Rads for your GPU cooling loops, or perhaps you might prefer just one 4-way rad if you go with a less extreme setup).
The customization options are nearly endless, and we welcome your comments about what you want for your ultimate system.
The Little Devil case is so well-designed, and so spacious in the interior, that it supports literally every conceivable
high end power supply, cooling reservior configuration, and pumps of all different sizes. The placement of the mounting brackets and
the location of the various case openings greatly simplify the wire harnessing and cable management.
It is for all of these reasons that we have switched to the Little Devil cases for all three of our Zeus products (the Tornado and the
Glacier now incorporate this case design).
All of the Zeus models feature a Dual Xeon Westmere X5680 architecture. Here are the differences between them:
