Fanless heatpipe on i5-6500 & MiniSYS T8.
Posted: Sun Oct 16, 2016 8:41 am
I am fairly new to this mini-itx stuff. Built an Amiga 500 pc using a Zotac IONITX-g and a C64 pc using an intel thin itx, both atom based.
Next up I want to put an i5-6500 & Asus H1101-PLUS-D3 into an MiniSYS T8 case that has a custom heatpipe cooler. Both sides of the case can act as radiators and the heatpipes attached to them, so the only worries I have are:
1. Is it a good move to run totally fanless? Either I use the custom heatpipe cooler or I use the stock intel cooler.
2. If I use the custom heatpipe cooler, do I put artic silver on the heatpipes that attach to the sides of the case? I know it has to be aplied to the cooler where the pipes all slot in. A block of metal fixes them to the sides of the case.
3. Would it make sense to shoe-horn a decent 90mm slim fan in there and run it slow?
Thanks guys
