Thermal cooling and low noise is the theme of Akust Technology Co., Ltd.'s display at COMPUTEX this year. While enthusiastically introducing visitors its four main product lines, Water Cooling System, Memory Module RamSink, USB Drive Rubber Housing and 2.5' SSD Casing, the company is especially highlighting its water cooling solution.
'This is the beginning of making 'royal' (meaning high price here) coolers friendly to the public,' says Dick Lin, CEO of Akust. 'Our water cooling system simplifies the mechanism by reducing the bulk of water tank and water bump while still maintaining the same performance. Moreover, there is nearly no water resistance for this product, so it can run really smoothly.' Akust's water cooling system has been proved to be able to link up to five water blocks, and is compatible to any CPU model.
Lin has a very bright perspective for the development of SSDs. Akust therefore launched 2.5' SSD casings with different colors. The casting is made of pure aluminum for helping thermal cooling. Lin says with confidence, 'SSDs absolutely will replace traditional hard disks, so we are actually launching a trendy product.' He also comments that the first application for SSDs will be some quaky environments/usage such as automobile electronics and notebook usage.
Akust also co-works with several branded customers to develop stylish rubber housings for USB drives. 'We co-design with our customers closely in order to really match the image that customers expect.' Lin explains.

When Mr. Dick Lin met with the editing team on May 7th, he conducted an interesting experiment: He put three slices made of black lead, copper, and aluminum separately into a cup of hot water, and then invited us to feel the different temperatures of these three objects. The result turned out that black lead has the fastest heat conduction, followed by copper and aluminum. While taking out these slices from hot water, black lead still has the fastest thermal cooling, aluminum ranked second and copper last. This experiment clearly showed that black lead is an excellent raw material for making thermal cooling-related products. Mr. Lin used this demonstration to announce that his company is devoted to the development of products made of innovative materials. At their booth of COMPUTEX TAIPEI 2008, he will display the company's outcome made of black lead composite materials. (He kept it a secret to us and wanted interested buyers to see it in person at the show!) |
