Massive, 3-lbs Silentmaxx TwinBlock Cools PC Up to 100W
A dual-heatsink design offered by Silentmaxx promises to cool CPUs with a power consumption of up to 100 watts - without the need of fans.
The massive, 3-pound construction of ten copper heat pipes and two aluminum fin arrays can be combined with Intel sockets 774, 775, 1155, 1156, and 1366 as well as AMD sockets 939, 940, 2, and 3. According to the manufacturer, the "TwinBlock" measures 210 mm x 135 mm x 160 mm. The total cooling surface is about 5.4 square feet, Silentmaxx said.
Included in the package is a "silent" 120 mm cooling fan (21 dBA). Silentmaxx is offering the Twinblock for 99.90 Euros, or about $120.

"A dual-heatsink design offered by Silentmaxx promises to cool CPUs with a power consumption of up to 100 watts - without the need of fans."
it runs at about 41 dbs, but that's nothing a $198 blower fan can't fix
I've seen bridges held by 4 bolts each side.
Maybe not so dumb then?
Or maybe dumb for the bridge too?
Just a thought.
This has applications for non-gaming PCs in my opinion. Some people are bothered by noise. I'm one of them. However, even this beast would need a fan with my setup (mostly due to the fact that the air temp gets to 90 degrees or so in my home office during the summer. A/C is expensive to run when 110 is the high and 85 is the overnight low).
