Watercooled gaming laptop is 5kg hefty but can handle Ryzen 9950X3D CPU, RTX 5090 graphics card

The big picture: Laptops often make compromises in terms of power compared to desktops, but it doesn't always have to be that way. A Kickstarter campaign is aiming to break all the rules with a hybrid design that incorporates a built-in liquid cooling system to support desktop-grade hardware. It's called the UHPILCL (Ultra High-Performance Integration Liquid-Cooled Laptop), and it's no joke. The UHPILCL supports full-sized ITX motherboards and can accommodate virtually every high-end CPU and GPU you can throw at it. On the processor side, it supports AMD's entire AM5 lineup, including the beastly new Ryzen 9 9950X3D. For Team Blue, it handles Intel's 12th, 13th, and 14th gen processors, as well as the Core Ultra chips. As for graphics, you can install any desktop GPU you want, up to 230mm long, after removing the air cooler. That means liquid-cooled power from cards like the monstrous RTX 5090. The CPU and GPU are kept frosty by an 18W water cooling pump with a 7-meter lift and a flo ... Read full article.
