Tuxedo Aquaris, a Tuxedo liquid cooling system for Linux laptops

Introducing the Tuxedo Aquaris liquid cooling solution for Linux laptops. Look into the specifics of this news.

High-performance gaming PCs (and even certain smartphones) are protected from overheating by liquid cooling systems. However, liquid cooling is not unheard of but is considerably less popular on laptops.

Earlier this year, XMG unveiled a liquid cooling add-on intended to connect with supported laptops and deliver extra cooling power when plugged in.

The Tuxedo Aquaris is a laptop-plug-in external water-cooling system that circulates liquid within the computer to assist lower temperatures while minimizing fan noise.

The Aquaris cooling dock can only be used while stationary due to the way this system is built; it cannot be used while moving.

Additionally, it will only function with compatible laptops that have inner tubes made for moving water. That means that upon launch, it is only compatible with the Tuxedo Stellaris 15 Gen 4 laptop.

However, it's feasible that the business may offer new laptops that support the Aquaris cooler if the technology proves to be successful.

Given that the Tuxedo Stellaris 15 Gen 4 is a 15.6-inch laptop with a 2560 x 1440 pixel display at 240 Hz, support for an Intel Core i9-12900H CPU up to 45 watts, and 280 watt NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti graphics, it's not hard to think that the notebook may become very warm.

However, having liquid cooling looks a little monotonous.

Instead of just disconnecting your laptop at the conclusion of a work or gaming session, you'll need to take a few minutes to make sure you don't accidentally drop it in your bag since you need to entirely drain the liquid out of it before you can transport it securely.

According to Phoronix, Tuxedo actually unveiled the Stellaris 15 Gen 4 and Aquaris water cooling system earlier this year, but the cooler at the time was only compatible with Windows-based laptops.

The open source Control Center software from Tuxedo now includes functionality for liquid cooling controls and offers Linux drivers for developers.
