Is my new setup good for fanless?
Hi everyone,
After doing here a lot of research I finally ordered my new silent PC setup.
Before I do anything stupid, could you please tell me if this setup is OK to run without a fan on the CPU?
My setup:
Antec P180 mini
Thermalright U120 extreme
Seasonic S12 II 380W (The fan is pointing upwards. Is this a problem?)
Gigabyte EG31MF-S2
Intel E7300 (not planning to overclock)
4GB GSkill 1000mhz ram
320GB WD
Thanks!
Nimi.

A stock E7300 is only around 20W at full load. My little Coolink BAT1VS runs my E7200 fine passively overclocked to 3000MHz @ 1.088V. The TRUE better outperform a $15 heatsink! (even if the TRUE isn't the best choice for passive cooling.)
