Calyos unveils a 0 decibel PC, with a 5820K and a Titan X. No moving parts.

[ZestyJalapeno]

Calyos, a company specialising in cooling solutions for all sorts of engineering applications, (trains, servers, power modules, etc.) has unveiled a completely fanless, waterless, and noiseless PC which is capable of taking Intel's (and AMD's) top of the line multicores and the most powerful GPUs currently on the market. They are advertising it with a Titan X and a 5820k, but they'll build it to whatever your spec is.

 

Edit: They claim all their testing was at 23 deg. Celsius, and the temps were 73 C for the CPU and 74 C for the GPU. These temps were recorded running 3DMark and Prime 95. Impressive.

 

Oh, and it's beautiful. The case itself is a customised Lian Li. 

 

 

They call it the "Calyos Fanless Workstation". That's how you know these guys are engineers and not PR people trying to make a quick buck (or euro in this case). They make something utterly graceful and elegant and they call it something really bland.

 

How does it work? Well, it uses double phase cooling with a familiar looking heatblock design for your COTS GPU and CPU, and with their special coolant they take it to the other side panel, which acts as a radiator. The proprietary double-phase heat exchanger design is called "Calyos Loop Heat Pipe", once again, a bland name for something which works so good. I'm liking these guys.

 

 

It's great, in my opinion. The sort of thing LTT probably had in mind when they botched that whole room water cooling thing. It's built to order, so they don't list the price. Who cares? It's likely double the MSRP of the individual components. I'm guessing it's one of those "if you have to ask how much it is you probably won't be able to afford it" type of thing. It makes no noise, and in the winter you won't have to turn the heating on whatsoever, just load up FurMark. In the summer you'd just open the window. What more do you need from a computer?

knowing me, i'd still put a 3 tb hard drive in there, because i can never use a pc without a spinning hard drive at all.

[suchamoneypit]

Looks really interesting, I'd love the know the price. Who is buying one and wants to tell us?

[McHox]

so you can enjoy all the coil whine

[DocSwag]

Just sayin', but it's all a lie! It's not 0 decibels, because of convection so there's some air rubbing against other air therefore there is noise and it's all lies and illuminati is confirmed!

Switching the titan X to a 1080 would bring temps lower i think

They went overkill on the components, just so they could show off that cooling solution worked well. A 6700k and a 1080 would definitely make it run cooler whilst being faster. Maybe we could ask them if an FX 9590-295x2 combo is compatible.

[vorticalbox]

only problem i can see is the side of the case getting rather hot and burning anyone that touches it.

[Mauricio G. B.]

why buy a heater in the winter when you can get this, and game on it

Except this company is focused on workstations which this is much better than what you listed.

[Enderman]

I'll buy it.

I want to know how the thermal pipes from the CPU/GPU to the heatsink are made though

Someone link me

only the heatsink on the back would get hot

why would a guy with a workstation care about sound

yeah that is still a problem. I have kids i would hate to have a case that got hot.

I was talking about performance of the components. Anyways, who wouldn't take a silent PC?

you should see some of the workstations we ship at work lol........they hella loud.

[SurvivorNVL]

If they can up it to a 1080 and 6900K, god damn.  This would be wonderful.  They just need an Intel 750 and a 2TB SSD Evo included and -bam-.

I'm assuming that because they specced this with HyperX Predator RAM and Titan X that they actually had gamers in mind with that particular build. If I were a pro in the market for this I would order it with a Quadro/FirePro Duo and a Xeon.

I'd believe it, some of them have some pretty ridiculous hardware that needs LOTS of cooling.

[TheRandomness]

They missed an s from series in the specs.

Hardware is still hardware regardless of branding, they also would have made the price go through the roof if they had gone with the professional hardware. The Titan X is just as fast as the Quadro M6000, especially when you are working with 3D modeling or CAD but don't need it to render the final product. Most the these companies had render servers that do the final render. As for RAM, take the heatspreader off and it is identical to any other stick of generic RAM.

apparently this system can handle it

they have it working in servers already which put out hundreds of watts per CPU

Haha here I am.

 

Regarding the size of the heat sink it should work out nicely. But my system is still more powerfull.

 

And I'm wondering when they measured the temperature. My system takes over two hours to reach equilibrium. If you just fire up a stress test and measure after 15 minutes you will get great (but not the max.) temperature.

 

Also the price will at least be 3x the MSRP of the componets. The heat sinkss are expensive and the engineereing required can only be spread a low amount of PCs.
