Zalman - Computex 2004: Cases and Cooling


Zalman

Zalman is best known for its line of quiet cooling merchandise, including the Cu7000 and the Cu7700 heatsink, which is a revised version of the Cu7000. The change, a much larger heatsink, allows better heat dissipation from the Athlon 64, which gives up 105W, and the Prescott, which puts out a whopping 120W.

Zalman also brought with them to Taipei their successor to the TNN 500A silent case, the TNN 500AF. The updated 75lb solid aluminum chassis includes more heat pipes, particularly for VGA cards, to help carry dissipated heat from PC components. Like the 500A, the 500AF requires no fans, which means it is a completely noise-free solution to any high end set-up.
