The computer cooling market opportunity

More powerful computer hardware in general

Smartphones, Tablets, Social Media, Big Data, Virtualization etc. needs more power

Servers and data centers have become denser, more hardware in less space requires more cooling

  • Data centers consume ~2% of the world's power, a financial and environmental cost
  • Air cooling struggling to solve increasing cooling need

More efficient cooling solutions are needed

Direct To Chip Liquid cooling is more efficient, green and at the same time it can recycle waste heat

Asetek pursues the desktop market within three categories

Q2'16: Desktop segment continues positive development in challenging PC industry

  • Do-it-yourself (DIY) category demand down from extraordinary levels of recent quarters
  • 1 new product began shipping to a repeat customer

  • Growth in the graphics cooling market

  • 3 new products began shipping to repeat customers

• Workstation category marginal part of segment today

Shipped 162,000 desktop units in Q2'16

Asetek Selected by HP to Cool New OMEN X Desktop Gaming PC

  • Announced 26 August 2016 that Asetek had been selected by HP® to cool its new OMEN X Desktop Gaming PC
  • Marks HP's return to ultra-high end gaming systems, boasting enthusiast hardware and revolutionary thermal performance
  • PC Gaming the "new black" due to VR and Esports

Overall data center outlook

• Strategy is to increase end-user adoption within existing OEM customers and add new OEM customers

• The introduction of more advanced chips [CPUs, GPUs, …] over the next 1-3 years will likely force most OEMs to stop procrastinating and figure out how they intend to help their Datacenter customers "do it better".

Data center segment experiences broadening acceptance of liquid cooling

Select data center/HPC installations in the U.S., Europe and Asia adopting Asetek's technology

1: U.S, Penguin Computing and U.S. Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration is using Asetek liquid cooled HPC system for an Open Compute Installation in 80 racks spanning three National Laboratories
