Corsair H50 vs Scythe Ninja mini FANLESS

Post by Telstar » Tue Jun 30, 2009 10:44 am

I'm trying to make my htpc totally fanless (for crazy audiophile reasons, not because i cant stand 25dB of noise).

I just heard about the H50 and saw some tests. It seems a good candidate to replace my ninja mini, which with hot summers here needs a fan.
I have it engaged with an A-tech sensor.
The Cpu is a stock E5300.

Opinions?

[Edit, yes the model is the H50. I confused with my case which is the OrigenAE H5).

Is it fanned, isn't it?

I mean it's the H50 (an economic cpu liquid cooler).

Yes the model is the H50. I confused with my case which is the OrigenAE H5. I corrected also the first post.

My goal is to run it without the radiator fan.

You will go from a single quiet fan to a water pump +/- single quiet fan. If your ambient temps are high, the passive heat dissipation will still be poor. An interesting idea moving the radiator/heatsink fins to outside the case, though.

I don't think it looks promising :(

At first sight, there's no way.

Anyway, good luck!

Went with the ninja mini. Will put a fan as close as i can to cool a bit. exaust if the psu is not enough, another nexus fan will be added.
