ABIT annouces silent OTES technology
Author: Rodrigo Chia Date: May 2, 2005 - 5:20 AM PST
Category: Motherboard
More Info: http://www.abit-usa.com/news/2005/20050425.php
Motherboard ABIT has announced a new version of its OTES cooling technology that promises to reduce sound level to zero. Q-OTES uses the company’s heatpipe technology to transfer heat from the north bridge to the fins of the Collection Module. From there, heat is exhausted outside of the case by air flowing from the CPU fan. The north bridge comes in contact with a high-grade aluminum heatsink with an all-copper base, which is fastened with screws to ensure maximum contact for heat transfer. The first motherboards featuring Q-OTES technology will be announced in May.
