What's the most powerful silent computer to date?
As in, passively cooled.

As opposed to aggressively cooled?

Ha!, but no, as opposed to actively cooled.

What i thought of aswell
>>59233527
They have a newer design called the NSG-S0 now, which is what appears to be what they intend to release for retail.
In any case, it does seem like the Calyos system is the best passive cooler that currently exists, but that's if you're okay with a case that takes two men to lift.

Seems a quiet pump and big ass radiators with super low rpm fans is the better solution.
This thing wont handle OC loads well.

any calyos machine

Just looked at the price. They want well over $500 for this case. That's a joke.
Says in the review you're going to need to add fans if you want to OC also. Drops the temps a decent amount. A water cooling set up would blow this out of the water if you factor in needing fans.

No.

water cooling is a bad choice if you want silence

Cut the fans then. There's passive radiator designs out there.
Note though that this thing is only passive with low loads. If you want to OC it needs fans.

I'm currently replacing the radiators in my house, think I could string a couple together hidden on the out building at the back with the pump out there for massive cooling and total silence?
>>59233920
What are you talking about? It's been the only choice for years. A properly installed pump like a DDC3 is near quit.
>>59233953
slow spinning fans are inaudible, water pumps are not.
if you want a moderately quiet system at full load then water cooling makes sense, but not for silence.
>>59233978
A pump like the DDC3 mounted on vibration isolated mount is damn near silent.

$500 for a metal and tempered glass ATX-size case with included CPU and GPU cooling blocks, loops, and radiators built in. Plus, it's not exactly a mass-production item, so the price isn't outrageously high. The NCase M1 is about $200 or so and it's just a tiny aluminum case.
I don't think overclocking is in anyone's mind when talk turns to passive cooling, but the fact that it can handle a 6/8 core CPU and a 1080 at the same time is impressive enough.

Calling a mobo tray a "case" is a bit much.
>>59233527
Wait, is this being mass produced already? I thought it was made to order.
>>59233545
My video card has passive aggressive cooling.

Linus is just a pussy who can't lift.
It's 70lbs. It's not like he's trying to deadlift like The Mountain.

Another R9 290 owner?
The fans on my graphics card refuse to turn on until it has made every component in my system piping fucking hot.
Wear a pair of headphones, install liquid cooling, or fuck off with this silent system bullshit.
