The end of cooling?

[MrChaos]

HI! I'm new here though I have watched a few of the videos. 

I have something I was wondering and forgive my technical ignorance if this is obvious. 

I have been following the kickstarter for the new NSG S0 case. The one that does not require any fans or power to cool the system just 40 pounds of AL. I looked at what CPU's and GPU's it can handle and apparently, short of a fire inside the case, it will stay cool inside no mater what. This got me thinking, if this case can keep all modern parts cool will it be able to keep everything in the future cool as well? For example if we all had the case would we never have to think about fans or tubes again? Or is it more likely that more powerful parts will shift the focus away from energy saving and require more cooling?

Ask yourself this - Why isnt Intel or Coolermaster doing this?

Some random kickstarter scam

That isn't necessarily true actually. Several companies have tried passive air cooling and it works amazingly well. Like OP said it is very heavy and I think that is the #1 reason why it isn't more popular

Well thats obvious you can cool anything with a block of copper and alum.

Not too realistic though is it.

There have been lots of real tech reviews on this thing, it works, Linus has done videos on Calyos before, etc. Not a scam at all.

It's expensive, it's large, it's heavy, passive cooling can't handle higher-power electronics, adding components is difficult, etc. It's great if you want silence and can deal with all the other drawbacks.

Three reasons money,money and again money. This an very expensive option where a cheap air cooler works fine

Human nature is cheap value, solid block copper/alum heat transfer is non of that. Its just some wonky left field thinking.

I'd rather have air cooling, over copper/alum heat sink, with a shit ton of fans. Surface area is the key!!!!

Yet-another-calyos vaporware system.

 

Also, their "testing" is a joke when they show AIO having better temperatures than "Watercooling".

Thats why its a scam!
