Ventiva has just launched its innovative ICE9 thermal management suite that works completely silently and without any moving parts. It will launch with devices packing up to 25W processors at CES in a few days, but it is expected to be able to cool partner laptop designs up to 40 watts TDP by 2027.
According to Ventiva (PDF), ICE9 uses the firm's Ionic Cooling Engine (ICE), which allows it to cool electronic devices without any moving parts. This device is claimed to be far more efficient than the Frore AirJet solid-state active cooling released a couple of years ago, although it’s still slightly less efficient than an actual fan.
