Noctua is known for its - sorry - crap-brown fans. At Computex, the company presented a prototype of a fanless CPU cooler.
I wanted to know more and grabbed Dan from the Noctua booth for an interview.
Sure, working at over 90°C is a hell of a job for any processor. Still, with a CPU at 120 watts only being cooled passively, this average temperature is shockingly low. I wonder how much work still needs to be done until production can begin, and whether this thing will even find buyers. But hey, it’ll always be an interesting product study.
