If anyone wants a video of it in action: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdD0yMS40a0">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdD0yMS40a0</a> [Linus Tech Tips]
Surprised it is commercially available already. Feels fast.<p>Must admit the fact that it still moves air and thus accumulates dust kills the key benefit of fanless for me - set and forget
I've used earlier versons of this kind of thing from Zotac that were not bad but the Asus PN 5X series (entirely passively cooled) is enough better that I wouldn't go back. This new line would have to be somewhere south of $200 to make me think of using it in future builds.
This build uses a i3-N300, which is evidently a 7W chip.<p>Is there a sense on how much cooling this provides? Could you strap it to a 30/45/65W CPU and otherwise be fanless?
