Need better PCs from big mfgrs

[upgradez]

We need more leadership from the big manufacturers to eliminate the need for airflow in PCs and kill noise problems.

Here's an idea: mount the CPUs and chipsets upside down so the cores are on the bottom of the motherboard. New case designs could then require passive heat sinks on that side of the case. When the board is mounted in the case the CPU and other heat generating components would be pressed into the heat sink.

Although the idea may work I don't think it'd be able to cope with the 75 Watts or so of a modern CPU. The case side would get too hot to touch.

passive heat sinks will work up to about 12-15 watts of heat.

Your average OEM spec system generates about 30-35 watts.
Sadly passive heat sinks here would be a problem.

also, having the CPU die on the "bottom" of the Mobo, would mean that you'd have to put some really ODD pc cases together, and sadly it all comes down to $$$,£££, and (insert local currency here)

If the prices for these bespoke items came down, we'd think about it.
