The rumor mill is spinning faster than a liquid-cooled overclocked CPU. Today, an internal document from an anonymous board partner confirmed what we all feared for our electricity bills: the next-gen flagship might require a dedicated 1200W PSU just to boot Windows.
Speculations suggest a triple-fan design that occupies nearly 4.5 slots. For many SFF (Small Form Factor) enthusiasts, this signals the end of an era. Unless you're planning on mounting your GPU outside the case, it's time to invest in a full-tower behemoth.
The Thermal Problem
With great power comes great heat. The leaked schematics show a vapor chamber that covers 90% of the PCB surface. We're looking at potential thermal throttling at anything less than 100% fan speed, which brings us to the next concern: noise levels.
