chino, calif. and taipei, taiwan, jan. 6, 2015 (globe newswire) -- cooler master, a leading creator, innovator and manufacturer of desktop components and peripherals, and coolchip technologies^tm, a leading fabless technology house of thermal management solutions, today announced a partnership to bring kinetic cooling technology to the multi-billion dollar pc gaming and diy markets.

the increasing demand for more powerful devices in ever-smaller form factors creates concentrated heat loads that are difficult to cool, especially in gaming electronics. with the introduction of coolchip's kinetic cooling technology, now there is the opportunity to deliver up to 50% improvement in cooling and achieve a 2x smaller form factor at significantly lower noise levels – critical elements in today's high-density electronics world.

with kinetic cooling engines powered by coolchip technologies, cooler master is able to develop products that offer critical protection for the underlying electronics that deliver the high-quality computing experience that consumers demand. cooler master's retail products will benefit from more efficient, smaller form factors, lower thermal resistance, and reduced noise levels.

"over the last four decades, everything in the computing industry has changed exponentially," said will sanchez, co-founder and ceo of coolchip technologies. "however, fan cooling technology simply hasn't kept pace. today's partnership announcement with cooler master is the first step in rendering the traditional heat-sink plus-fan approach obsolete in the power hungry gaming console industry."

"coolchip technologies is solving the computing industry's multi-million dollar efficiency problem," said dr. howard lin, head of retail thermal division of cooler master. "by using kinetic cooling engines versus traditional cooling methods, consumers will see dramatic improvements in thermal performance at significantly lower noise levels. additionally, the potential for smaller form factors using kinetic cooling engines will save critical space and allow for design innovation. these benefits ultimately will allow our customers to create products that deliver a superior consumer experience."

• demonstrations of the coolchip technologies/cooler master product will be available at ces at the palms hotel from january 6th to january 9th.
