Huh. Is that a Noctua NH-D14 with no fans? I remember you mentioning you were testing doing that before, guess you were going for quietness?

looks that way, i could see just the cases airflow going through that heatsink and keeping it at 3.2
id actually prefer the u12p heatsink without fans becuase i think it would be easier to push air through with minimal turbulance
i love the con "foam hard to remove"
everyone complains that the stuff gets shaken loose, now they complain that its too secure
the rest is really long.. ill have to read that later lol Edited by !ender_ - 23 Aug 2010 at 8:26pm |

This is actually a passively cooled system running at 3.8GHz. That's how efficient the cooling style is on this chassis.

this world is over run by people who have jobs that they will never deserve, making more than anyone who can do it would want, because they know the right person.

lol.
and still, it's technically not really a passively cooled system. you still have a 180mm fan on bottom airing out the CPU, and a 120mm fan exhausting, ehehe. true passive cooling is no fans at all, completely removed, all coolers replaced with fanless coolers. that goes for GPU(s) and CPU.

True, basically there is no fan on the CPU heat sink. May that be a passively cooled CPU or not, it's still cool and effective

Yup this reviewer obviously managed to confuse himself
O'Brian get your head out of the tankard and sober up just enough to make sure your reviews actually make sense. You and David Murphy from PCshopper should start a club for inept journalists. Edited by sirsiddius - 25 Aug 2010 at 2:59pm |
