Not a fan
That’s indeed not a fan. Did we even need to mention that? /j
Saturation for the nation
Customer
so how many grams is that?
But is it really copper?
Till it all gets to temp then it won’t do much. It needs some more surface area to convect heat better.
With enough fins you don’t need fans.
the other option is
only fans
Would a slow small fan still make a huge difference to the cooling here? Completely passive cooling seems like something that would only make sense in very specific professional environments (like needing an ultra low sound floor in an audiology chamber or recording studio).
The case has an opening for a vertical fan but it is not needed unless you do heavy gaming and run a high end GPU. For video rendering and other tasks the fins are rated to keep it at a decent temp.
I have good hearing, and a HDD spinning or even a “silent” fan is still audible droning noise to me.
This build is totally silent. The PSU is over-rated on purpose because it has a below 30% max draw mode that is fanless.
So this case makes 0 noise.I had a roommate who was getting his doctorate in chemical engineering, specifically focused on graphene. He was able to demonstrate how doping the materials in a heat sink to alter their ability to “release” heat, and then organizing these intentional hotspots along the length of the fins, you could create an active airflow using a stationary object.
But then his lab manager killed his grant and instead put him on a project partnered with BMW to make their bumpers more marketable.
Really makes you wonder how many revolutionary ideas have fallen through the cracks because of moron management
Black pilled by monetary interests.
That’s a shame that sounded really cool.
what is that white box on the bottom connected to
I think that would be a spot to connect a GPU to the heatsink as well
Passive cooling fins.
The empty copper block is for a GPU, but I’m running this primarily as a silent server so I didn’t bother with the GPU since it has integrated Graphics.
With big enough copper block it might not matter (like the size of a house, but of the good quality stuff not that shit Ea-Nasir sells).
Is your motherboard connected to two giant case-sized heatsinks? I’m struggling to see the big picture here
Its a monsterlabo case, they made fanless heatsink systems…I think they may have gone out of business a few years back because a silent case is very niche.

Oops, all heatsink
Right? I’m like wtf is this setup?
It’s a monsterlabo case. They used to make a few models that were all heatsink so you didn’t need fans. I think they might have gone out of business because their website has no stock left for ordering, etc. Too niche a product to sustain sales probably.
Edit. No website anymore either.
But here’s the case I have. https://www.vortez.net/news_story/monsterlabo_the_first_chassis_now_available.html
Toblerone Gaming Heat Sink.
Toblerone has one identifier, its triangular shape. ☝️🤓
But there is another… the convection space between the fins.
I remember when that space was less… Spacious.
A block of diamond would be even better (copper being at 401 W/mK, Diamond at 3320 W/(mK), almost 10x better)
What’s the K
Ketamine
But only 3-5 diamonds are generated per chunk, requires an iron pickaxe, and usually doesn’t start appearing regularly until Y level 14.
Meanwhile copper can have up to 16 veins of copper per chunk, requires a stone pickaxe, and appears most frequently at Y=48.
Copper is clearly more accessible for making ore blocks.
Wait a sec, this isn’t !minecraft@lemmy.world
Back to the mines with you, you’re yearning
This is after 1.18, Diamonds are most commonly found at Y=-54 now.
with the way prices are going, carbon based heat dissipation may become the preferred option
how pretty would it be if it was a tree-like crystal structure
I am suddenly reminded of that Tech Ingredients video on YouTube where he turned a A/C window unit into a liquid heat pump.
NO that swindler gave me subpar copper!
You didn’t pay him for a previous services. Ya get what ya pay for.
I don’t believe you. You probably didn’t even write a support ticket about it
