Passive pc

[Reece1999]

So 

Im building an editing pc and I was just wondering is it possible to make it completely passive cooled 

 

The specs are 

 

I7 8700

Gtx 1050 ti

16gb 2666mhz corsair vengeance 

Gigabyte b360n 

Corsair CX450 

Thermaltake core V1 

 

There is a passive version of the 1050ti 

Its made by plait and is just a heat sink 

 

But for cooling the 8700, would getting a massive tower cooler and then taking the fans of work

 

Thx

I doubt it, but you are welcome to try and post back the results....

From what I understand of heat, air, and pc’s in general...

 

yeah no I don’t think so

Making a passively cooled PC is possible but you can't cram in passively cooled components together and expect them to be able to dissipate their heat properly...Even passively cooled components require air exchange. So you would need to design it so the heat rising draws in fresh air through convection.  That setup would have to be able to dissipate about 140 watts passively going by NVIDIA's and arc.intel's websites. In the end, you may have to choose between passively cooling and a small form factor case...unless you went with something like laptop components maybe

Editing on a passive PC I imagine would really cripple the system if the temps got high enough. Not saying don't do it, but be careful of temps, we all know how hot an 8700 can get.

For YouTube? Sure. Easy in fact.

But for editing, no. You will run into problems.

However, you can try going with a large case that can support one 200mm fan in front as intake. This is your best bet. And the 200mm fans are very quiet.

As for the CPU, a big tower cooler from Noctua. Even without fans it will do a decent job. But far from good.
