Fanless heatsinks?

[jonnyyyl]

Been looking for one that fits the Silverstone GD08 (reported height is 175mm) (http://www.silverstonetek.com/product.php?pid=331&area=en).

I came across the Xigmatek Aegir (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835233087). Based on some preliminary research, the whole thing without a fan does a pretty good job even at overclocked (I can be wrong), generally well received, and is out of production.

 

I'd like to know what's out there nowadays, especially those that can fit into the GD08

 

Thanks in advance.

I think it would be too tall but: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835220055

 

EDIT: looking up your case specs:

 

Max height of the CPU HSF is 138mm

 

I would get this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835186059

 

and pull the fan off

 

According to the specs it is 1mm too tall so you might have to file off the tips of the heat-pipes but, I believe it is your best bet.

Fanless isn't generally considered a good thing, and without a specialized case requires fans in other places.

nofen/nofan - if they don't know - how should we? no... but seriously... they were nofen - they changed to nofan. but yeah - these guys had to have them send them out a new cooler because it didnt fit the case they sold them - and the temps were icky.
