I went "fanless" for my DD

[Contra]

I used the fanless approach for my daily driver, because I don't have time to game anymore

But If I get back into it I will switch it out

 

[Alaric]

How's it working and what's it cooling?

 

[EarthDog]

Well, the motherboard is the same as what is listed in the sig, so... im guessing that?

 

[Alaric]

Thought so, but as soon as I assume something...LOL

 

[UltraTaco]

Am I tacoed? Because I see a fan in the "fanless" setup

 

[EarthDog]

The fanless part is on the CPU heatsink itself.

 

[UltraTaco]

Well, if she was totally passive..

Passives have all the power. LOL

Wow, that went off the reservation fast!

 

[UltraTaco]

I just can't grasp the passivity idea if you have fans.

Now iPad, that's passive.

 

[Contra]

it gets about 10 degree hotter than before at adle

the only load I put on it anymore is watching Netflix from time to time
and then it get about 10 degree hotter then with a fan/heatsink combo...but it looks cool

 

[UltraTaco]

Okay
I like fan better.(maybe very low setting)

 

[ehume]

You didn't go fanless. You have intake and exhaust fans churning away.

 

[Alaric]

C'mon guys, he's obviously talking about the CPU heatsink. Does he have to get rid of the fart fan in the bathroom, too? This thread is starting to look like the political posts on FB. SMDH

 

[UltraTaco]

Well, I'm with ehume on this one. Fanless. In my taco brain: fanless=absence of fans.

Getting rid of bathroom fan is a bad idea unless you do zero emissions.

 

[Alaric]

He was talking about the CPU heatsink, though. ehume has kind of a fan fetish, and you flat Earth guys...I swear...

 

[UltraTaco]

Well if you look closely, chassis fan has exact path facing the couch heatsink!

What I'd like to see as an experiment, all fans off, how far temps would climb?

PS-flat earth, is that thing still going strong? I haven't been on there for a while. Banned from general section.

+1...

Same shhh.. different piles.

I'll admit I have a fan fetish. Those of you who have seen my posts know I prefer having an open back -- no grill, no fans. But I do have two fans up front and I don't say my rig is fanless.

 

[Alaric]

And your reviews are class leaders.

 

[UltraTaco]

And your reviews are class leaders.

Off topic, this is getting political!
Anyways, why do fanless? Or partial fanless?
Is it for the noise or just novelty? Surely newer fans are quite quiet! You don't usually go deaf hearing a PC unless room is blindly quiet!
