The TNN 500AF is the world's first absolutely noiseless, anti-dust computer case for high-end systems that has been developed with Heatpipe Technology, HSC (Heat Source Contact) Power Technology, High Capacity Extrusion Technique, and FMS (Flexible Mounting Structure) Design Technology by ZALMAN Tech Co., Ltd. The TNN 500AF package includes a high performance aluminum computer case with an absolutely noiseless cooling solution that does not require the use of fans, making it ideal for:

Digital Audio Workstations (DAW) in broadcasting, recording, and post-production studio control roomsMultimedia & Storage Servers for offices, educational facilites, and hotelsHome Theater and Multi Media Systems for living roomsHigh Performance Noiseless Workstations & Servers for SOHO(Small Office Home Office) systems

The TNN 500AF consists of two large aluminum heatsink plates. These heatsink plates transfer all heat from the GPU, CPU, et cetera, to the exterior through natural convection. Since natural convection requires no moving components, a system equipped with TNN 500AF is absolutely silent and has an unlimited life cycle.

The CPU cooler in the TNN 500AF transfers heat from the CPU to the heatsink case using six 6mm heatpipes. Since this CPU cooling solution does not require any power source or fan, the cooler is absolutely free from noise and has an unlimited life cycle. The six heatpipes transfer about 150W/sec from the CPU, which is ample cooling even for the hottest CPUs on the market. The CPU block is made of pure copper to ensure the highest cooling performance.

The VGA cooler in the TNN 500AF transfers heat from the GPU (VPU) to the heatsink case using two 6mm heatpipes. Since this VGA cooling solution does not require any power source or fan, the cooler is absolutely free from noise and has an unlimited life cycle. These two heatpipes drain enough heat from the GPU (VPU) at the rate of 50W/sec, to cool the hottest video cards on the market.

The PSU in the TNN 500AF employs Multi PCB Transformer technology, high-efficiency FETs, and Heat Source Contact technology to pump out enough power (300W/sec) without any help from an active cooling device. The heat from the PSU components is transferred to the heatsink case through an aluminum panel, which is in direct contact with the heatsink case. This PSU features a lifespan of 50,000 hours and an impressive 78% AC/DC conversion efficiency, which is about 10% higher than most power supplies.

Heatpipe HDD cooler reduces vibration and noise transferred to computer case and cools HDD. TNN 500AF comes with 4 casters which can support up to 4 tons, and are equipped with sliding protection and height adjustment features.
