Passive chipset cooler - Water cooler motor. Passive Chipset Cooler
part heatsink, part room air conditioner ;) the intel 'bad axe2' (that IS their name) seated in the antec case, with a mighty could-be-passive heatsink on it. the design for that heatsink is to have 2 120mm fans on it, but even one 120-fan is more cooling than the modern chip needs. if you don't overclock, you may not even need a fan at all. the heatsink is bolted from behind so you must remove the motherboard to install this heatsink. also note that this design allows that one fan to blow down on many things, including the ram sticks, the main chipset heatsink and some of the other heat generating parts on the board. IONbox quarter
This is a custom NVIDIA ION box I built. ION is a low power platform that combines NVIDIA's GeForce 9400 iGPU chipset with the small Intel Atom CPU. I'm using it for DVD and online video, and for parallel processing with CUDA. This is the ZOTAC IONITX-A motherboard with dual-core Atoms, laptop hard drive, thinline DVD burner, in an aluminum box with laser-cut acrylic panels. It's 8 in. wide, 2.5 in. tall and 10 in. deep. Passive cooling, no fans, very quiet.
