Note :
Ice Cube was tested in different working environments. Two standard ATX systems with Intel P4 D840 3.2G Dual-Core CPU and nVidia 6800GT VGA Card was used for the tests. The test system is equipped with our Ice Cube, and the comparison system is equipped with a regular power supply unit. CPU Burn is employed to push both CPU and GPU to 100% load. All the data bellow are compared with that measured from the comparison system. Performance of Ice Cube may vary with actual system configuration, environment and load condition.

A smart control unit (SCU) is integrated in our Ice Cube system. SCU adjusts the performance of Ice Cube in response to environmental temperature and system power consumption. At low system power consumption, for example low CPU and GPU load, the Ice Cube works almost silently and consumes power as low as 3W. When CPU, GPU and other loads increase, their temperature goes up. SCU detects the change, and increases the Ice Cube output to cool down CPU, GPU and the system. The control algorithm is optimally designed for best cooling effect and relatively low additional power cost.

1. The ‘Cold’ generated by our Ice Cube is guided to CPU fan inlet. At high system loading, the air blown into CPU heatsink can be cooled down by 8oC ~ 10oC, reference CPU temperature is reduced by 5oC ~ 8oC, GPU temperature is reduced by 4oC ~ 7oC.
   
   
2. By cooling down CPU, GPU and system, Ice Cube increases the working efficiency of your computer. In our lab test, CPU and GPU are both pushed to the highest load. For the comparison system, CPU current is averaged at 9.5A. For the test system with Ice Cube, CPU current can reach 10.5A, indicating a 10% enhancement. In other words, Ice Cube guarantees smooth CPU operation.
   
   
3. Our Ice Cube cooling system consumes maximum 25W power by itself. However, the real additional power consumption by using Ice Cube is much less than 25W. On one hand, the smart control unit (SCU) optimally adjusts the performance of Ice Cube, for best cooling efficiency. On the other hand, working efficiency of your computer is enhanced, and thus uses slightly less power (to do the same amount of computation)
   

What is Ice Cube?

Ice Cube is a solid-state cooling device which discharges heat out of the system while maintaining cold (air) to cool down CPU, GPU, and the computer system. It is integrated with PSU, and can be equipped with standard ATX system without any modification.

How does Ice Cube work?

Ice Cube is a solid-state thermal dissipation device that discharges heat out of the system and generates cold flow to cool down your PC. A patented Smart Control Unit is used for best performance.

What's the difference between Ice Cube and other cooling solutions?

Ice Cube enhances the capability to discharge the heat out of the system, and at the same time, generates cold flow into the system. Ice Cube is embedded inside the PSU so it is ready to equip with standard ATX system without modification.

What's the power consumption of Ice Cube?

At idle state, it uses about 3W. At maximum output, it uses 25W. Maximum output only occurs when the computer system generates large amount of heat, due to high CPU, GPU and other loads.

Why should I use Ice Cube for my system? What's the advantage of using Ice Cube in my system?

Ice Cube is a perfect cooling solution for gaming systems and systems handling multimedia data (video editing), where CPU and GPU are fully loaded. Furthermore, lower system temperature prevents the catastrophic system failures, and enhances system reliability.

What's the CPU, GPU, and system temperature reduction (when CPU is 100% loaded) when Ice Cube is turned on?

Tested with an ATX system With Intel P4 D840 3.2 G, Dual-Core CPU and nVidia 6800GT VGA Card, both at 100% load, CPU Temperature Reduction: 5oC~10oC, GPU Temperature Reduction : 4 oC~7 oC Averaged System Temperature Reduction: 5oC minimum.

What kinds of systems would need Ice Cube (to be installed)?

Ice Cube is a perfect cooling solution for gaming systems and systems handling multimedia data (video editing), where CPU and GPU are fully loaded.

When would Ice Cube to be turned on?

Ice Cube will be turned on when your computer is on. We use a patented Smart Control Unit to adjust the performance of Ice Cube according to environmental temperature and system power consumption. The Smart Control Unit is integrated in the Ice Cube. The control algorithm and parameters are optimally designed. When your computer at idle state or running with light load, the Ice Cube will be at minimal performance. Ice Cube increases its performance when the computer load increases.

Do I need to modify my system if I would like to install Ice Cube?

Our Ice Cube design Keep-in Zone is 100% compatible with the standard ATX system design, so no system modification is needed. If you are buying a new system, just install our PSU which comes with Ice Cube embedded. If you have a system already, just replace your PSU with our PSU (which comes with Ice Cube). The current Ice Cube may not fit in compact ATX and other non-standard system.

Is Ice Cube and power supply unit (PSU) bundled?

Yes, the Ice Cube cooling device and its smart control unit are integrated with our power supply unit (PSU). There is also consideration of system compatibility.

What kind of PSU would be equipped with Ice Cube?

Current PSU configuration with Ice Cube is 550 Watts. However, Ice Cube could work with lower power rating PSU, e.g., 350 Watts.

What's the noise level of Ice Cube?

The noise level of Ice Cube is control to be about the same as CPU and PUS fans. When computer load is not high, Ice Cube is very quiet. When computer load is very high, say 100% CPU and GPU load, the noise level increases, and is about the same as CPU and PSU fans. Because Ice Cube cools down the system, and thus reduces CPU/PSU fan speed at the same computer load, the effective noise level by using Ice Cube does not increase much than using a standard PSU system.

What's the service life (Mean Time Between Failures) of Ice Cube? Is there any reliability issue of using Ice Cube?

Ice Cube is a solid-state device with superior reliability and it's MTBF at 25 degrees C is 100K hours minimum. Furthermore, lower system temperature prevents the catastrophic system failures, and enhances system reliability.

Is there any moving parts or mass for Ice Cube?

No. It is a solid-state device and there is any moving part, except for an additional fan. There is not any liquid.

How is the heat sink designed?

The HS of Ice Cube is an optimization design taking into consideration of geometric constraints of an ATX system, minimum thermal resistance, and airflow inside the system.

Is Ice Cube Lead-free? Halogen-free? Freon-free? Is Ice Cube fully RoHS compliant?

Ice Cube is fully RoHS compliant, and is environmentally friendly. It is lead-free, halogen free, and Freon-free.

Why is Ice Cube inside the PSU?
It is placed inside the PSU to make itself fully compatible with any ATX system without modification.

Why is Ice Cube placed on the right of PSU?

It is the most compatible design with the current ATX configuration of the tooling holes on the system back panel.

Would cold plate cause any moisture condensation?

No. Ice Cube has a dew-point control to avoid condensation,

When Ice Cube is turned on, is there any electro-magnetic disturbance to other components in the system?

No. The Ice Cube dose not emit any electro-magnetic noise.

Can Ice Cube be turned off manually?

No. Ice Cube will be turned on whenever your computer is on. We use a patented Smart Control Unit to adjust the performance of Ice Cube according to environmental temperature and system power consumption. When you computer is at idle state, Ice Cube is also at idle state. It is almost noiseless and consumes about 3W power at idle state. So, it is not necessary to turn off the Ice Cube manually.
