Deltatronic's fanless X99 Workstation

[NumLock21]

German computer builder Deltatronic has release some photos on their fanless X99 workstation, where it's cooled by what they called "Heavy duty convector cooler". The system is passively cooled by a giant fin array on the side panel, with CPU and GPU blocks, all connected together by heatpipes. The system supports a selected range of processors, from the 140w tdp Core i7 5820K to a 10 core 160w tdp Xeon E5 2687W. Graphic cards has a selected range too, entry level GeForce 210 or up to the PNY Quadro K4200 workstation gpu. It would be interesting to see, what the temperatures are at max load, when one is configured with top of the line parts. The barebone kit with a Core i7 5820K and 16GB of DDR4 ram starts at 1,990 Euros

wow this is really interesting, wonder how much this will cost

[StareX]

Cooooooooooooollllllllll

wtf how is that possible lol

[Sam Z Man]

I love this, but can't you get GeForce 210's that are fanless I have one in my basement.

wtf how is that possible lol

Very big heat pipes.

[Sidiox]

Didn't zalman once do this as well?

[ImBleu]

I remember NCIXKeys having a Z97 (i think) machine that was also completely fanless and similar to this. Would be interesting to see this reviewed though, tbh.

Think it was an A8

Iv'e asked for a review unit.

Ahh nice, hope you get one to check out.

Thanks because this looks really cool.

I'm curious to know how well it performs under intense work loads

My GeForce 210 or the heat pipes?

the entire system without fans, pretty interesting 

[MeltingPoint]

Someone here actually DIYed a very similar system.

Do you hear that? its the monitor!

@Stefan1024 seems like your specialty

Awesome! really looking forward to this as a possible review.

Yes, thanks for inform me

 

Deltartonic makes fanless PCs since several years. And it also took theirs product and pictures as inspiration for my build...

The PCs are expensive, they really are. But I think they are not overpiced. My selfmade build cost slightly more than the one from Deltatronic with the same spec. Even thougth I hoped to get it cheaper when I started^^

But the price wasn't the main reason. I like to build something out of metal and it a good "work-out" after spending the whole day studying.

 

If you are interested in a fanless gaming PC, you can also choose a GTX980 and a i7-4790(k). But my new build will beat it with dual GTX980 (http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/351134-the-silent-cube-pushing-passive-cooling-to-the-limit-with-dual-gtx-980-update-1-38-kg-heat-sinks-ordered/)

 

 

For the second build I also thougth about getting a X99 system, but because of the four channel RAM all MoBo's have the CPU VRM heatsink at the top and block the way for the heat pipes. And I don't like to cut through the heat sink like Deltatronic does. And I don't have infinite money as well In addition my workload favours less but very fast cores.

 

But I guess there is something connecting the back of the MoBo to the big passive heatsink. So don't worry about overheating.

 

And Linus: I hope you don't overclock this baby! Not because it will overheat, but it's against the philosophy. 50% more power for 10% more performance? Yes sure that sounds great for a fanless system.

But I know you, you will squeeze every MHz out of it, if you get your hands on one....

It would be great if you could manage this!!! And it's a very good chance to test / buy a thermal image camera as well

[SurvivorNVL]

There's something really.. beautiful about large heat pipes.

Very big heat pipes.

There are fan and fanless GeForce 210s

im calling bull shit. too passively cool a x99 you would need a heat sink the size of a atx case.

It has the size of the atx case

Hi @LinusTech

 

Is there any chance you will ever review one? I'm still pretty interested in a review of the system or an other high end fanless system in general....
