The WayCool U350GX and WayCool U400NT are predefined, tested reference designs customised to address intense heat and improve performance for specific engineering combinations.
The reference designs are developed from the breakthrough WayCool thermal management architecture, a complete, advanced cooling platform composed of the patented WayCool carbon technology for greater heat transfer capacity, WayCool quiet fans for a quiet cooling, and the patented WayCool hybrid mesh for advanced liquid cooling isothermicity.
"System developers for advanced processors are saddled with cooling solutions that are noisy and bulky".

"Now Waytronx delivers an answer to their design challenges with the quiet and self-contained WayCool U350GX and WayCool U400NT reference designs", says William Clough, Chief Executive Officer of Waytronx.
"These two technology prototypes represent significant progress towards the application of WayCool architecture into key markets where intense heat is threatening and compromising system performance".
"They also further affirm WayCool technology's flexible, scalable and customisable cooling architecture".
The WayCool U400NT reference design is the industry's first 400W integrated CPU and peripherals cooler that allows the thermal management of advanced electronics in a single-slot configuration.
The WayCool U400NT, which can be plumbed to alternative heat sources such as graphics cards, memory or northbridge chipsets, allows one cooler to manage multiple heat sources on the motherboard without fans, multiple pumps or additional loss of real estate.
WayCool U400NT design is a quiet solution that addresses severe thermal issues by pumping heat from the graphics chip back to a single high capacity cooler over the CPU for aerial disbursement.
For system designers looking to build smaller and more powerful gaming PCs, workstations and portable devices, the U400NT design is a cost-effective, tested and efficient solutions that can significantly reduce time to market.
The WayCool U350GX reference design is a stand-alone 350W graphics card cooling solution which can be universally adapted to cool the extreme heat generated from high-performance graphics cards.
The WayCool carbon technology and WayCool hybrid mesh heat transport solution complement the U350GX, and silently address heat generated by high-profile graphic chips such as nVidia 8800 and ATI 3870XT in demonstrations.
The WayCool U350GX, which can cool entire graphics subsystems, also offers OEM, ODM and system designers a flexible and quiet heat removal platform.
Much like the U400NT, the U350GX's unique hybrid solution allows it to also be plumbed to alternative heat sources such as memory or northbridge chipsets.
"Waytronx unique hybrid air-liquid thermal transport system, coupled with its patent pending carbon interface, allow these devices to approach thermal management in a systemic fashion addressing multiple heat sources on the same motherboard - there simply is no equivalent technology available in the market today", says Michael Schuette, PhD, Technical Fellow at Waytronx and Vice President Of Technology Development at OCZ Technology.
WayCool U400NT and WayCool U350 GX reference designs each include bill of materials, engineering drawings, application notes, test results and samples, and are available through licensing agreements.
In addition to WayCool U400NT and WayCool U350GX, Waytronx also licenses the WayCool U400DT reference design, which is incorporated into OCZ Technology's 400W HydroJet CPU cooler.
