Noise Limit Inc. was founded to create the next generation of high performance CPU-cooling solutions that are reliable, flexible and low noise. In confined spaces or over distances, the SILENTFLUX design has the unique ability to move large amounts of heat from a single or multiple sources without the aid of a mechanical pump. The patent-pending design uses an innovative lightweight hermetically sealed aluminum tubing to cool electronic components for consumer-based systems, such as home entertainment and gaming machines, as well as custom implementations, such as servers, all-in-one computers and other small format PCs. Founded in 2000, Noise Limit is a privately held, venture capital funded company with offices in Cupertino, CA, the USA and Taipei, Taiwan. SILENTFLUX® technology from Noise Limit can move system-generated heat over distances without the aid of a mechanical pump. By using simple physics principles, the SILENTFLUX® bubble pump technology creates a new cooling category that paves the way for system engineers to create new application opportunities for a variety of industries. Today SILENTFLUX has seen success in the home theater, workstation and gaming industries where heat removal, small form factor and low noise are key factors.
