    350-Watt Graphics Subsystem Cooler and Industry's First Single-Slot
 400-Watt Integrated CPU Prototypes Affirm WayCool(TM) Architecture to Key
                                  Markets

    VISTA, Calif., Jan. 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Waytronx, Inc. (OTC
Bulletin Board: WYNX), the leading provider of openly licensable advanced
systems cooling solutions, today announced two new reference designs to
enable OEMs and ODMs to manage severe thermal issues in advanced
processors. The WayCool(TM) U350GX Graphics Cooler reference design offers
a noiseless thermal management solution to address extreme heat challenges
from powerful graphics chips; while the WayCool(TM) U400NT reference design
is the industry's first single-slot 400-Watt integrated cooler that can
manage multiple heat sources on the motherboard, including high-end
graphics and video game cards.

    Waytronx demonstrated these technologies to targeted press
representatives and key market partners at the International Consumer
Electronics Show (CES) last week in Las Vegas. The technologies were
universally recognized by both the press representatives and potential
partners as being unique in the industry. Special notice was given to the
demonstration of U400NT, the first cooling solution able to address the
thermal issues of not one, but two nVidia 8800 graphic cards with single
slot, fanless systems.

    The WayCool U350GX and WayCool U400NT are pre-defined, tested reference
designs customized to address intense heat and improve performance for
specific engineering combinations. The reference designs are developed from
the breakthrough WayCool(TM) Thermal Management Architecture, a complete,
advanced cooling platform comprised of the patented WayCool(TM) Carbon
Technology for greater heat transfer capacity, WayCool Quiet Fans for a
quiet cooling, and the patented WayCool Hybrid Mesh for advanced liquid
cooling isothermicity. The demonstration at CES featured the WayCool U350GX
reference design using the ATI R600 graphic card; and the plumbed version
of WayCool U400NT design providing thermal management to a CPU and two
market-leading graphic cards.

    "System developers for advanced processors are saddled with cooling
solutions that are noisy and bulky. Now Waytronx delivers an answer to
their design challenges with the quiet and self-contained WayCool U350GX
and WayCool U400NT reference designs," said William Clough, chief executive
officer of Waytronx. "These two technology prototypes represent significant
progress towards the application of WayCool Architecture into key markets
where intense heat is threatening and compromising system performance. They
also further affirm WayCool technology's flexible, scalable and
customizable cooling architecture."

    WayCool U400NT

    The WayCool U400NT reference design is the industry's first 400-Watt
integrated CPU and peripherals cooler that allows the thermal management of
advanced electronics in a single-slot configuration. The WayCool U400NT,
which can be plumbed to alternative heat sources such as graphic cards,
memory, or northbridge chipsets, allows one cooler to manage multiple heat
sources on the motherboard without fans, multiple pumps or additional loss
of real estate. WayCool U400NT design is a quiet solution that addresses
severe thermal issues by pumping heat from the graphic chip back to a
single high capacity cooler over the CPU for aerial disbursement. For
system designers looking to build smaller and more powerful gaming PCs,
workstations and portable devices, the U400NT design is a cost-effective,
tested and efficient solutions that can significantly accelerate
time-to-market.

    WayCool U350GX

    The WayCool U350GX reference design is a standalone, 350-Watt graphic
card cooling solution which can be universally adapted to cool the extreme
heat generated from high performance graphic cards. The WayCool Carbon
technology and WayCool hybrid mesh heat transport solution complement the
U350GX, and silently address heat generated by high-profile graphic chips
such as nVidia 8800 and ATI 3870XT in demonstrations. The WayCool U350GX,
which can cool entire graphics subsystems, also offers OEM, ODM and system
designers a flexible and quiet heat removal platform. Much like the U400NT,
the U350GX's unique hybrid solution allows it to also be plumbed to
alternative heat sources such as memory or northbridge chipsets.

    "Waytronx unique hybrid air-liquid thermal transport system, coupled
with its patent pending carbon interface, allow these devices to approach
thermal management in a systemic fashion addressing multiple heat sources
on the same motherboard -- there simply is no equivalent technology
available in the market today," said Michael Schuette, Ph.D., technical
fellow at Waytronx and vice president of technology development at OCZ
Technology.

    WayCool U400NT and WayCool U350 GX reference designs each include bill
of materials, engineering drawings, application notes, test results and
samples, and are available through licensing agreements. In addition to
WayCool U400NT and WayCool U350GX, Waytronx also licenses the WayCool
U400DT reference design, which is incorporated into OCZ Technology's
400-Watt HydroJet CPU Cooler.
