Ryzen 4000 APU without cooling? Yes you can!

Fritzchens Fritz is known for his detailed photos of CPU dies, the uncased pieces of a semiconductor wafer. In a YouTube video, the photographer now shows how a Ryzen 3 4300U APU performs in various benchmarks without direct cooling

I don't know what fascinates me more: The fact that the CPU runs without direct cooling? Or the thermal imaging of the CPU and how I can recognise exactly which area is active and when?

The YouTube video by Fritzchens Fritz impressively demonstrates what is possible with modern technology.

For the test, Fritzchens Fritz unscrewed a notebook with Ryzen 3 4300U and freed the CPU from any direct cooling. He only directed a 120 millimetre fan at the CPU to create a weak but constant airflow. He runs various benchmarks during the 20-minute test. These include Cinebench R15, TimeSpy and the "Crysis" benchmark.

From big data to big brother, Cyborgs to Sci-Fi. All aspects of technology and society fascinate me.
