Page 4: Features
Extrusion Technique, and FMS (Flexible Mounting Structure) Design Technology by ZALMAN Tech Co., Ltd. The TNN 500A package includes a high performance aluminum computer case with an absolutely noiseless cooling solution that does not require the use of a fan, making it suitable for storage servers, workstations, high-end home systems, and sound studio computer systems. - Page 5 It is also 100% recyclable, making it environmentally friendly. 2.2 Heatpipe CPU Cooler The CPU cooler in the TNN 500A transfers heat from the CPU to the heatsink case using six 6mm heatpipes. Since this CPU cooling solution does not require any power source or fan, the cooler is absolutely free from noise and has an unlimited life cycle.
- Page 6 2.6 Electricity Savings Since the TNN 500A is equipped with a highly efficient power supply unit and does not utilize fans, it uses 10 to 15% less power than a normal computer with the same configuration. When a user upgrades to a TNN 500A system, power consumption can be reduced by 20 to 30W/sec.

- Page 8 Testing Equipment and Programs (1) Normal fans last about 20,000 to 50,000 hours. Since the TNN 500A does not utilize a fan, the system is not affected by malfunctioning fans. (2) Heatpipes, which are used to cool the CPU and GPU, do not have any moving parts, which can break down, therefore preventing system crashes due to overheating.
- Page 9 The TNN 500A System does not use an internal fan, so the system monitoring program may report a high internal temperature. Notably, the TNN 500A system’ s northbridge temperature may be as high as 62.8 ℃, which is about 10 ℃...
