Silent Systems Announces Solution to Noisy PCs -- Hushkit.WOBURN, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 13, 1998-- Six Hushkits(TM) Now Available for Distributors, Resellers, Integrators and End Users Silent Systems, Inc., the world's leader in computer acoustic and thermal component solutions, today announced the release of six new Hushkits(TM). Now, distributors, resellers, integrators, and end users can easily upgrade noisy PCs to Silent PCs(TM). Hushkit(TM) offers the same Silent Systems' patented technology as used by Acer, LG Electronics, AST (AST Computer, Irvine, CA) A PC manufacturer founded in 1980 by Albert Wong, Safi Quershey and Tom Yuen (A, S and T). It offered a complete line of PCs that sold through its dealer channel. and other major OEMs in their PC designs. The noise from fans has increased dramatically due to hotter microprocessors while hard drives have always been noisy. Combined with the need for 24 hour functionality, this irritating noise is no longer acceptable. In fact, the audible noise of PCs is now becoming a published specification, in part, because PC noise has been proven to increase stress and reduce productivity. The six new Hushkits(TM), containing various combinations of SilentDrive(TM), SilentPower and CPU coolers A device that draws heat away from a CPU chip and other hot-running chips such as a graphics processor (GPU). The simplest type of cooler is a heat sink, which is a metal cover glued to the chip that provides a larger surface area for heat dissipation. for Pentium, Pentium II The successor to the Pentium Pro from Intel. Pentium II refers to the CPU chip or the PC that uses it. Code named "Klamath," the Pentium II was a Pentium Pro with MMX multimedia instructions. , AMD (Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., Sunnyvale, CA, www.amd.com) A major manufacturer of semiconductor devices including x86-compatible CPUs, embedded processors, flash memories, programmable logic devices and networking chips. and Cyrix, provide easy to install, cost effective solutions to reduce PC noise by over 90% without re-engineering current PC designs. "The new Hushkits(TM) enable the PC to appear solid state like an answering machine or stereo, virtually eliminating noise from whining hard drives and fans. We have sold hundreds of thousands of our SilentDrive(TM) technology and quiet CPU CPU in full central processing unit Principal component of a digital computer, composed of a control unit, an instruction-decoding unit, and an arithmetic-logic unit. cooling solutions to major OEMs. Now, we are excited to bring this technology to a broader market," says Howard Yenke, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of Silent Systems, Inc. SilentDrive(TM) is a patented thermoacoustic ther·mo·a·cou·stic adj. Of or relating to a process using rapid, repetitive acoustical shocks to achieve cooling: a thermoacoustic condenser for use in refrigeration. enclosure that reduces hard drive noise by as much as 10 dBA (>90%) while still maintaining drive manufacturer's recommended operating temperatures. The patented Eldorado(TM), Pikes Peak Pikes Peak, 14,110 ft (4,301 m) high, central Colo., in the Front Range of the Rocky Mts.; discovered by U.S. explorer Zebulon Pike in 1806. There are many higher peaks in the Rockies, but this is the best known and most conspicuous because of its location on the (TM), and Breeze CPU coolers are designed using a highly efficient folded fin technology resulting in silent operation. SilentPower is specially designed for higher efficiency and lower airflow resistance, thus reducing fan noise inside the power supply. Headquartered in Woburn, Mass., USA, Silent Systems is privately held with backing from several of the country's most prominent business people. The company was founded in 1994 by Greg Wyler when it developed the FE-4 SilentPC(TM), the world's first silent computer, which subsequently was named to Windows Magazine's 1995 "Win100" list of the 100 best hardware products. This system level design experience led to the development of SilentDrive(TM) and the line of silent CPU coolers.
