PNY Showcases Liquid Cooled Graphics and Active HDMI Micro Cables At CEA Line Shows

PNY is showcasing our new Liquid Cooled Graphics and Active HDMI Cables at CEA Lines Shows – the CE industry’s annual mid-year conference and new technology exhibit.

PNY’s new Liquid Cooled Graphics system delivers significant benefits, with up to 30% cooler temperatures, quieter acoustics, and faster performance than the standard reference designed NVIDIA® GeForce GTX 580 graphics card.  Consumers will receive a fully integrated XLR8™ GeForce® GTX liquid cooled graphics system, with a combination GPU/CPU cooling version available as well.  Built with an Asetek sealed water cooler already attached, the PNY Liquid Cooled Graphics Card was engineered with a closed loop system and the design offers consumers an out-of-the-box ready, simple to install and reliable product.  With increased overclocking headroom versus air cooled, the liquid keeps overall temperatures low to provide better performance for gamers.  With a 30° C difference in temperature, your PC parts are protected due to lower exposure to hot temperatures.  Additionally, less noise is produced as fans aren’t running at maximum speed to compensate for the heat.  Lower acoustics means a quieter gaming environment for more gaming concentration and the option for gamers to not have to use headphones to mask noise levels. The overall advantage is extreme performance and higher frame rates without the heat.

PNY’s new Active High Speed HDMI Micro Cables features an innovative, ultra-thin, and flexible design.  The high speed cable allows for easy and convenient access to videos, photos, presentations, web browsing, e-books, and more - direct from a portable device right to a projector, monitor, or HDTV.  The lightweight and pliable design allows greater portability and flexibility for ease of use.  PNY’s newest cable allows users to maximize the potential of their latest devices that feature an HDMI Micro port.  These Active HDMI Cables by PNY were developed with an integrated circuit technology to enable superior signal quality.  The built-in chip delivers 10.2Gbps (gigabits per second) bandwidth stream for flawless 1080p HD performance and digital surround sound at the industry’s highest current speed level.  PNY’s cables are also certified at the highest HDMI rating, offering the latest high definition technology currently available.  At a slender 3.5mm diameter, PNY’s Active HDMI Micro Cables are also 70% thinner than standard passive cables currently on the market, offering supreme performance in a svelte design.  Specially engineered for long lengths of 10 feet and up, these cables were built to deliver optimum high definition quality in a slim size. The active built-in chip technology regulates the signal to prevent loss and enables PNY’s HDMI cables to achieve 1080p HD video and audio through an ultra-thin design across extended lengths.  PNY’s Active HDMI Micro Cables are ideal for use with the latest tablets and smartphones with HDMI Micro ports

PNY’s Liquid Cooled system and Active HDMI Micro Cables are on display at the CEA Line Shows 2011, taking place June 22-23 at 7 West 34thStreet, New York, NY.  Attendees will have the opportunity to view PNY’s products in Booth #D4

With CEA Line Shows being the premier mid-year technology exhibit, it’s the ideal venue to showcase our latest products.  Whether you’re an enthusiast gamer looking for a simple yet powerful all-in-one solution to upgrade your PC or a tablet user looking for an easy and convenient way to connect your tablet or smartphone directly to an HDTV; PNY has the solution for you.
