Safety Notices
TNN 500AF is the world’s first truly noiseless high-end computer case, developed with heatpipe
technology, HSC(Heat Source Contact) power technology, High Capacity Extrusion technique,
and FMS (Flexible Mounting Structure) design technology by ZALMAN Tech Co., Ltd. The
TNN 500AF package contains a high performance aluminum computer case with an absolutely
noiseless cooling solution for the CPU, VGA Card, Power Supply, and Northbridge free of fans,
making it ideal for storage servers, workstations, high-end home systems, and sound studio
computer systems.
1) Complete Silence
The cooling system does not generate any noise because it does not utilize any fans. Even
the HDD noise is blocked out by the sturdy aluminum plates 5 to 7mm thick, achieving
completely silent computing.
2) Stability
①
No Fans in the System
The majority of heat generated inside the system is
transferred through heatpipes to the heatsink plates
where it is dissipated via natural convection, reducing
inflow of dust dramatically. Consequently, this
prevents system crashes caused by dust buildup and
fan failures (fans last around 20,000 to 50,000 hours).
② High-Capacity Aluminum Heatsink Plates for
Natural Convection
Two large aluminum heatsink plates cool heat
generating components, such as the CPU and VGA
Chipset, through natural convection. Without any
moving parts, the TNN 500AF is virtually free of the
need for mechanical maintenance, and it is 100%
recyclable, making it environmentally friendly.

③
Heat Transfer via Heatpipes
Virtually ever-lasting heatpipes transfer heat away
from the CPU, VGA chipset, and Northbridge chipset
preventing system crashes due to over heating.
- CPU Heatpipes
Heat from the CPU is transferred to the heatsink plate
through 6 heatpipes each 6 millimeters in diameter.
The six heatpipes can transfer up to 150W of heat
from the CPU - sufficient for the hottest CPUs on the
market. The CPU Block Base is made of pure copper
to ensure the highest cooling performance.
- VGA Card Heatpipes
Heat from the VGA Card is transferred to the heatsink
plate through 3 heatpipes each 6 millimeters in
diameter. The three heatpipes can transfer up to 75W
of heat from the VGA chipset - sufficient for the hottest
VGA cards on the market.
- Northbridge Heatpipe
Heat from the Northbridge chipset is transferred to the
heatsink plate through a single heatpipe, 5 millimeters
in diameter. This heatpipe can transfer up to 20W of
heat.
③
Heat Transfer via Rear-mount Thermal Blocks
When the Rear-mount Thermal Blocks are installed on
the back-side of the motherboard in line with the
position of the FETs (Field Effect Transistor) and the
Northbridge chipset, each can lower the FET
temperature by 10 to 30
°C
and the Northbridge chipset
by 5 to 10
°C
.

⑤
High-Efficiency, Fanless Power Supply
The power supply uses high-efficiency FET
components and Heat Source Contact (HSC)
technology, eliminating the need for a fan, and
has a 10% higher power conversion efficiency
(80%) rating than conventional power supplies.
Heat from the power supply is transferred
directly to the high-capacity heatsink plates,
where it is dissipated by natural convection,
making the power supply free of noise and
vibration.
- High-capacity active PFC inductors, separate switching transformers for each power rail
(+12V, +5V, +3.3V), and 2-FET forward converter design all work to create a superior
level of stable power quality.
- Conventional power supplies tend to have lower output voltage due to line-dropping
phenomenon. The TNN Power Supply extends the output voltage sensors up to the
motherboard connection for +3.3V, +5V, and +12V rails to prevent this, enhancing
output voltage accuracy and assuring system stability.
※
Data above were measured according to INTEL ATX v2.03/ATX12V power supply specs.
Measurement specifications : For each DC output, a bypass made up of one 0.1μF
ceramic capacitor and one 10μF electrolytic capacitor is connected and measured with
an oscilloscope (input impedance 1MΩ) at a frequency bandwidth of 20MHz. The
waveforms may differ under different measurement conditions.

3) Electricity Conservation
Since TNN 500AF is equipped with a high-efficiency power supply and does not use any
fans, it utilizes 10 to 15% less power compared to a conventional computer system under the
same configuration.

1) Operating Environment
Recommended Room Temperature : 15~28
℃℃
Operation in comfortable room temperature is recommended.
2) Precautionary Notes on Booting
When booting the computer, it may automatically power down after an alarm sound is
generated to indicate that the rotation of the CPU fan is slow by a system monitoring
program. If this happens, connect the fan on the stock CPU Cooler to the 3-pin connector for
the CPU Cooler on your motherboard. Boot the system and set “CPU Fan Detected”to
“Disabled”in the BIOS settings. Turn the system off, remove the CPU Cooler fan, and
reboot.
NOTES)
1. Some motherboards do not boot if the rotation of the CPU fan is not detected. There
might not be a "CPU Fan Detected“ setting in the BIOS setup, but updating the BIOS could
solve this problem. For more information on updating the BIOS, please refer to your
motherboard manufacturer’s website.
2. When using an Intel motherboard, if you remove the motherboard from an existing
system and attach it to the TNN 500AF, the system’s Active Monitor may generate an
alarm sound with a warning that there is no CPU fan. Remove Active Monitor from

Do not put excessive force on the RAM heatsinks during this period.
2) Avoid getting grease or any kind of stain on the surface of the Thermal Tape.
The Thermal Tape may not stick. Clean the surface of the RAM with acetone or
alcohol before attaching.
1) If there are more than 8 VGA RAM chips on your VGA card, purchase additional RAM
Heatsinks (ZM-RHS1).
2) Thermal Tape loses adhesiveness after it has been used once. Thermal Tape cannot be
reused after it has been detached from a surface. If you need more, purchase it separately.

NOTE) The VGA Case Block Base already has thermal grease coated underneath, and
should not be taken off under normal circumstances.
④ Apply a thin layer of thermal grease on the VGA chipset.
NOTE) Most VGA chipsets on the VGA card have a concave curvature towards the middle and
need more thermal grease at the center.
⑤ Make sure the VGA Block Base is level and firmly installed onto the VGA chipset using the
Paper Washers, the VGA springs, and the VGA Finger Bolts A(M2.5).
⑥ Apply thermal grease evenly onto the grooves on the VGA Case Block Base that come in
contact with the VGA Heatpipes, and install the VGA card on the motherboard.

NOTES
1) There are many types of VGA cards and the VGA Heatpipes may not fit the grooves on the VGA
Case Block very well. In this case, the user needs to modify the VGA Heatpipes to fit the grooves.
2) If the VGA Heatpipes must bend below the datum line, the VGA Heatpipes will not function
properly and the VGA chipset may get damaged. Check if this is the case before proceeding.
⑦ Install the VGA Heatpipes in sequence and fix the Block Cover over them using the VGA
Finger Bolts B(M3). Then, fix the VGA Case Block Cover using bolts (PH M3x15).
