Quiet Computing From VIA
VIA has been promoting quiet computing through "Cool
Processing" since the launch of the VIA C3 processor
in March 2001. Large, overpowered PCs require many high-speed
fans to ventilate and cool them and the result is excessive
PC noise.
Much of the PC industry's scarce resources are being
directed at silencing these fans and coolers as a treatment
for PC noise. VIA's highly efficient processor platforms
target the issue of PC noise at the source because they
require minimal noisy forced air-cooling and can result
in quieter overall PC systems especially when combined
with smaller, quieter power supplies.
