Is it possible to have a gaming pc only with passive cooling?
>>54457227
yes
>>54457227
yeah if you enjoy house fires.
>>54457227
yes, but why?
Also gaming pc has to be the most retarded definition.
Android devices, gameboys, etc are all passive cooled gaming pcs
>>54457227
950 with pci only power
Huge heatsink with 6100
Ssd
Fanless psu
Yes, if:
-you only play early 90's games, or
-for modern games, you lower the resolution (think 640x480), limit the framerate and obviously no graphical settings past what the game limits you to through developer console/user patches (basically, below where the options/settings menu lets you go)
Alternatively, >>54457263 or get a >>>/vr/ tier console, except the PS2, which has a fan.

Those are not PCs.
brotip: PC isn't a synonymous of computer
Sure. But Coller have to be as big as your mama pussy
>>54457302
>Those are not PC
they are though.
i assume however your some /v/tard who wants an intel i9 and nvidia1080 passivecooled or something.
>>54457300
Learn a little of heat transmision .... fuking dump Just make a big cooler
>>54457227
You can use passive cooling in any pc hw configuration in History.
You'll just have to downclock the hell out of it.
>>54457315
>>54457302
such retard much shitpost
>>54457227
Sure, why not ? It's been done before.
But you still need airflow, and you need even bigger heatsinks than usual.
Is it possible to have a fire underneath your stairs without a fireplace and chimney?
>>54457227
Yes, but your passive coolers are gonna be YUGE.
>>54457353
Learn a little English. The point is that there are trade-offs.
>>54457423
how HUGE? where do i get them, can i use the case as a heatsink?
>>54457430
please just leave.
You can passively cool an underclocked 970 by using the case as a heatsink.
Total System TDP: 200W
Total System cost: 3500€
>>54457430
Well, the first thing that come to mind is the Prolimatech Megahalems. It's a passive cooler that was made for Sandy Bridge CPUs and they got a lot of attention for being a passive cooler, and also being fuckhuge.
And you'd need one on your GPU, too.
Not sure of the temps they had under load, but it can be done. I'd rather just have a fan, though. Cant hear them over my game anyway.
>>54457494
>spend that much money on a computer
>underclock it
Fucking MSI users I swear to God.
You need a big heatsink
>>54457227
Yeah of course, just paint your computer blue
>>54457227
Shitload of blue fan's
>>54457494
if i take that off will it die
Zalman used to make a case that was one big-ass copper heatsink. So, technically yes, but not a very good one due to stark TDP limitations, although a downclocked 970 or a 1080, or AMD's new stuff, might stand a chance. CPU is similarly challenging and right now could only be Intel. (Maybe Zen? We don't know enough yet.)
It would run you a lot of money. Music studios have all those cases and they're not letting go of them. Also they would get too hot to touch.
You might have better luck with liquid cooling and a very large passive radiator. You might have to be careful you don't boil the liquid. Or just quiet fans. Really, that's a lot more tenable.

How is a gameboy a PC you stupid fuckward

A raspi 1 is a bit shit for performance but should be OK for heat
A raspi 3 outperforms an eee pc but boils water
But because the only game anyone ever needs to play is Doom, a pi1 will be fine (use Chocolate Doom).
>>54457227
Do a custom build using an i3 and gtx 950. Use the case as a heatsink.
>>54457227
APU/Broadwell Chip + HR-22
>>54457872
That clip you see on the right is to attach a fan.
>>54457879
It can handle up to a 125W TDP completely passively, or 300W with a fan

>>54457227
Yes. Been done a long time ago.
>>54457632
It would be extremely hot...

You're a big card

Had passive cooler on radeon 9600, it was gigantic compared to stock one with fan.
Also had passive cooled power supply but I never managed to passively cool CPU, could only idle with fan off.
This was all back in the day when TDP was like 1/5 of average today. I would say it's next to impossible now.

You do realize that you can get 35W Skylake CPU that's clocked at acceptable levels, right? In fact, intel's TDP figures haven't grown much if at all since Pentium 4.

Passive PSUs and big enough ssds for all the games are too expensive though.
>>54457227
It's called a tablet
Yes, if you have a big tower cooler on your cpu and one of these just next to it
>>54457227
This + Noctua NH-D14 allows me to play Anno 1404 on max settings and newer games on medium. But Anno 2205 is shit so there is no point to upgrade anything.

Yes [spoiler] in antartica [/spoiler]
