Passive Radiator

[floge03]

Hey guys,

I have been thinking about updating my water cooling loop to be completely "silent." I was wondering if any of you guys had ever used a passive radiator and what types of temperatures you got with them.

Thanks for Your Help.

I dont know how well it works since the company is only claiming 80 watts dissipated for the little one and 125 for the big one. You would need more than one probably if you wanted better-than-air cooling. Though it would be completely silent.

you could take the passive radiator and hang it out your window
in the wintertime.

Take your passive radiator and stick it in a bucket of ice water? You get the added benefit of being able to keep your beer chilled right there beside your computer.
