[SOLVED] Cooling without fans for 6700k on itx?

[simonlangleyphone]

Hi,

I have an asrock z270 itx andI have a really bad dust allergy. I'm currently using the corsair cooler h115i , however, the dust is so bad with this because it pushes it through a grill at the top of the PC and turns the dust into much finer dust particles that irritate me.

I wonder is there a way to use silent cooling like passive cooling? Would the arctic alpine passive fit my itx case? Im not overclocking or anything.

Any helps would be much appreciated.

Cheers

This sounds more like an actual ambient environment issue than a cooler issue.

If dust filters can be used to prevent it from entering the PC in the first place, it would be less likely to distribute in the manner described.


PASSIVE INTEL CPU COOLER
The Alpine 12 Passive comes without a fan and yet provides enough power to keep all compatible Intel CPUs up to 47 Watts at bay. It offers an affordable solution for fully fan-less computers on Intels 115X Sockets.

TDP of a stock 6700k is 91 watts, nearly double the rating of the Alpine 12 passive.
