And that’s because KFC really plans on releasing this. KFC’s announcement today said the console’s cooling system was built to “extract system heat through around the outside of the chicken chamber, ensuring that the hardware is kept at a regular core temperature while simultaneously delivering a piping-hot meal.” Now that’s finger-lickin’ efficiency.Īs you can tell, this isn’t some half-baked build. Heat from the computer's components is transported to the chicken chamber, helping to keep your hardware cool and chicken warm. It’s supposed to keep chicken warm but is also part of the PC’s custom-built cooling system. Snack enthusiasts will be happy to know that the KFConsole’s chicken chamber isn’t all for show either. KFC said that after partnering with Cooler Master, development featured “multiple stages,” including custom case building, designing the cooling system and incorporating the chicken chamber.
The Intel NUC Compute Unit comes in i5, i7 and i9 options. The Intel NUC 9 Extreme Compute Element we tested was specced with an Intel Core i9-9980HK CPU, but we haven’t gotten confirmation on what will make the KFConsole cook. When we asked Cooler Master for the KFConsole’s full recipe, a rep would only tell us that it’s an “Intel NUC 9 Extreme Element at its core with a modified Cooler Master MasterCase NC100,” as well an Asus RTX graphics card and 1TB of Seagate NVME SSD storage.
