FOUND: Ryzen 9 7950x passively cooled with 2 2lb copper bar | Mind Blowing Facts

Fanless PC

Who doesn't like fanless PCs? But sometimes, aftermarket options may not meet your requirements. That was what happened to one Redditor. Instead of using an aftermarket passive CPU cooler, the ingenious enthusiast modded some 1kg copper bars to cool his Ryzen 9 7950X, one of the best CPUs on the market.

The user's system revolves around the Streacom DB4, a fanless case that caters to mini-ITX builds. In the interior, an MSI MPG B650I Edge WiFi houses AMD's 16-core Ryzen 9 7950X and 64GB of DDR5 memory; meanwhile, an HDPLEX 250W GaN ATX power supply provides up to 250W of power.
