Would love to see LTT review these passive radiators!

Ok, I am being a little selfish, I would love to know how well these work. Would you need fans still in the case to deal with heat from the voltage regs, RAM etc. Can they overclock both CPU and GPU and so on

 

Just like the idea of not needing fans where possible. Also I thought about a desk PC where you could mount the rad outside the case. That said I just think it is cool (sorry pun) to run without fans on modern machines.

(Usual disclaimer - I am not associated with said company, I just saw a YouTube video about passive cooling and this was one of the things I found on a quick Google!)

These aren't passive radiators.  I have that one, and it has brackets to mount fans to it.

 

You could use it as passive I guess, but only under really low load.

I guess it is more the size of them mean you could use them as such. Those ones don't have fan mounts directly, you need to make them yourself if you wanted to add fans (at least that's what I read anyway lol)

 

I really wish radiators would list what their maximum thermal capacity is tho.

That is not a Passive radiator this is.

The site i was looking at also had these, but my thought is you would probably end up mixing metals given these are aluminium and most blocks are copper. Have to be careful with them

 

Although would be even better to do a comparison between the conventional radiator design and these

 

-edit- Why in that video did they need to have the logo rotating, my eye kept getting distracted by the movement and was glancing at it all the time. Stupid eyes.
