I've read this description of the R3 2200 and 2400 and at 35 watts they almost seem practical as a consideration for a fanless system.
And there are new, more powerful 45 watt Ryzen cpus being introduce.
But, when loaded down a Ryzen 3 2200 can draw 101 watts while the Ryzen 3 2400 can draw 114 watts.
These power draw figures make them seem less practical for a fanless system than they might at first sight appear.
And the new i3-i7 that are also quoted at 35 watts probably draw significantly more power under load as well.
Also, no one seems to have built a board for the desktop market that supports Ryzen based laptop cpus.
So what are the real options for fanless desktop use without using a stupid sized heatsink that probably would still have problems when the processor was heavily loaded?
Are we forced to use a low performance cpu, or is there an alternative?
