Frore Systems Unveils New Active Cooling Devices at Computex 2024
The Californian startup Frore Systems showcased its latest active cooling technologies for electronics at the Computex 2024, Taipei’s largest electronics exhibition. The company presented solutions for both consumer and industrial sectors, and its ultrasonic cooled iPad Pro drew particular attention from the audience, reports Notebook Check.
Enhanced iPad Pro Unveiled
Frore Systems demonstrated a modified latest generation iPad Pro fitted with two Frore AirJet Mini Slim miniature air cooling systems. These coolers use membranes that vibrate at ultrasonic frequency to create a suction force. The advanced cooling solution reduced the display temperature by up to 6 degrees Celsius, and the rear cover decreased by 5 degrees.
The integration of the AirJet Mini Slim systems resulted in the removal of speakers from the tablet. However, Frore Systems assured that the speakers’ functionality could be restored. The enhanced tablet boosted its processor’s power consumption by over 50%, from 9w to 14w. Yet, in performance tests like the 3DMark benchmark, this only led to an 11% increase, which Frore attributed to inadequate duration of the load tests.
Frore Systems Introduces Industrial Solution
In addition to the rerouted iPad, Frore Systems, in collaboration with Smartcow, introduced an industrial reference platform utilising the Nvidia Jetson Orin module (successor to Jetson Xavier). This platform allows easy installation of 2-5 AirJet Mini Slim cooling systems on Orin. The hot air is directed forward, which is convenient for systems operating in tough conditions without needing servicing.
Frore Systems’ Promising Developments
Thus, Frore Systems’ new creations demonstrated the high potential of liquid cooling technology for both overclocking consumer devices and building reliable industrial systems.
