NoFan appears to be making a smaller, yet still effective fanless CPU heatsink.

cool

Complete nonsense. Am I the only one old enough to remember the old "pin fin" designs from the '90s?

Adding vertical aluminum fins would even make this more effective than just copper alone.

A white light at the center will make it will look like the reactor in the heart of the iron man ;p

Seems like this would work best in a configuration where the motherboard is laying flat. With no fan to guide the heat away from the fins the natural progression would be for it to rise. In a configuration where the board is mounting vertically, like most towers, wouldn't the top fins naturally remain hotter as the heat from the bottom fins dissipate upwards via natural air flow? Seems like you want your chimney to go up and out, not sideways~

Just give me a Sandia cooler already.

 

[Onihikage]

I second Jimbo. Sandia Cooler, please! Would be perfect for a noiseless low-profile HTPC.

No way that thing can dissipate 80 watts unless your case was very well ventilated. Also, can you actually buy sandia coolers? I wonder if they're any good.

 

[Alec Bramlett]

It's just plain fugly

 

[iam2thecrowe]

if it doesn't work as a cooler you can always catch fish with it

 

[rwinches]

I can't figure out how you mount a fan on this?
