Cooling components for a totally fanless system?

EndoSteel · #1 (**permalink**) 07-18-2007, 06:48 PM

We have the Ninja to cool a ~65W TDP processor on pure natural convection and we have the Quiet Drive to cut down HDD noise. What we dont have is a matching VGA cooler (as I can judge by the fin spacing both Scythe's new coolers are meant to be used with fans) and a case with a relocated PSU mounting spot & vents for convectional (bottom to top) airflow.

Can we hope to be able to assemble a totally fanless \ noiseless rig out of 100% stock components some day?

Hi!

Yeah we are working on the VGA coolers and there are more items on the roadmap. Yet the development takes a bunch of time. You can actually not see how long a product takes until it get's a real product and get's re-designed etc, but I can tell you that it usually takes more than just a few months until it get's a real product and comes to the market. We hope to support fanless products for more components but as you can see, some of them like VGA and Northbridge are raising their TDP rapidly until now and the Wattage you need to get rid of fanless is also limitted by size, cost etc. I hope we can have a fanless rig completely cooled by Scythe.

Greetings
