OnScreen Delivers 400+Watt, Fully Self Contained CPU Cooler

August 28, 2007 by Jeff Shepard

OnScreenTechnologies, Inc. announced that it has delivered the final operational prototype of its carbon block CPU cooling solution to its licensed partner, OCZ Technology Group, Inc..

OCZ’s new HydroJet solution features OnScreen’s proprietary, patented thermal management WayCool™ technology, as well as OnScreen’s proprietary carbon block interface and fan design. Together, OnScreen’s patented solutions are said to offer a cooling system that significantly outperforms any other such currently available on the market.

It is claimed that tests of OCZ’s HydroJet CPU cooler solution featuring WayCool technology, combined with OnScreen’s patent pending carbon block heat transfer medium, demonstrate the successful management of the thermal energy from a 400W heat source. As explained by Stan Robinson, Chief Engineer for DV/DT Engineering, the facility at which the device was tested, "We ran our test block to its maximum output of 400W and the HydroJet maintained the chip below operational norms throughout the entire test period. In contrast, we compared the HydroJet to a leading CPU cooling device that had to be shut down within moments of reaching 400W, when the chip temperature exceeded 105°C."

In addition to its ability to handle more than 400W of energy, OnScreen’s internal fan design is said to allow the HydroJet to run as much as 35 times quieter than any solution currently available on the market. The fully self contained, hermetically sealed liquid cooling device combines the efficiency of liquid cooling with the safety and convenience of air cooling. Moreover, use of the OnScreen WayCool liquid heat transport feature is said to allow a single CPU cooler to be connected to numerous heat sources on the same motherboard, a cost saving technique not currently available in any other self-contained unit.

"OCZ is excited with the recent tests of the updated HydroJet CPU cooler," commented Alex Mei, EVP & Chief Marketing Officer, OCZ Technology Group. "The HydroJet’s new design showcases improved performance and is an even more attractive solution for high end consumers and enthusiasts looking to take advantage of the benefits of liquid cooling in an easy to use 100% self contained unit. OCZ fully expects to deliver this innovative solution to market in time for the holiday season."
