The Beautiful Machine
- bristleworm 7y agoOh that really looks awesome! Makes me wish I had a need for a desktop PC at home :(
- fabiensanglard 7y agoExtra incentive: A desktop PC with a standing desk is great way to remaining a good posture.
- thedanbob 7y agoI love the concept of passive cooling / no moving parts, but I also like seeing the insides of electronics (my home build has a clear panel and white LEDs). Builds like this make me wish transparent aluminum was a real thing.
- patagurbon 7y agoIt is I believe, but I haven't seen many applications. It's marketed under the name ALON iirc. I don't believe they can make big pieces though.
- thedanbob 7y agoThat’s pretty cool! Unfortunately its actually a ceramic with only around 5% the thermal conductivity of straight aluminum so it wouldn’t work for this. Most transparent materials tend to be thermal insulators afaik.
- ngcc_hk 7y agoPassive cooling is great but I am only at nuc level. Surprise to see it might work with 1050 ...
- fabiensanglard 7y agoI am unsure how much I can trust Geeks3D Furmark GPU load generation. I feel like it is probably heavier than actual game usage. So far it is holding up!
- olleromam91 7y agoNot sure if OP is the builder, but a question. How did you/he thermally couple the cpu and gpu dies to the case? Is it really just air? EDIT: Saw the LH6 heat pipes. That's super neat!
- fabiensanglard 7y agoYou have two options. 1 - You can use a thermal pad which is not recommended by the vendor. 2 - You can used thermal past which is the option I went wish. So far it is working well. Obviously not practical if you plan on changing parts often but I don't forecast doing this.
