Computers never had fans before. The manufacturers never really thought they would be able to make such fast processors. But the truth is that after the 486 DX, they have been adding bigger and bigger coolers to it’s processor. The first one I have ever seen was in 1991 with the 486 machine. It was a passive cooler only that would at best become warm. Only some years later I saw for the first time that they had a fan on it. It was the 100 MHz version the first ever having such thing on it. I like this processor very much because it was the one I used for the longest time and had the most fun with, back in the time of 2-d and DOS Games.

Today’s processors are so fast, so powerful that you need to install a huge heat sinker with a noisy fan spinning at a mighty speed. You waste both energy and your ears listening to that thing making VOOM all the time. Don’t you want sometimes to detach it out of your computer and make fly away?

Now you CAN!

Your objective is to cool the computer using nothing but a completely silent heat sinker. Keep in mind this sinker is huge and needs extra attachment to the computer box in order not to break the motherboard in two or three pieces. Online you can find passive coolers in any store. Buy the biggest one you can find. Now once you install it on your computer it will recommend you to use a slow rotation fan just to be sure it will be well cooled. Something you do not want to do. Instead you are going to use other fans to keep this thing cool and the computer box itself to act as a giant heat sinker.

In some stores you can find an extension of an heat sinker. They are four pipes that are connected with magnetic iman to the passive cooler on one side and the other side will be connected to the computer box. As soon as those pipes connect to the computer box, the huge amount of metal in contact with air is alone enough to keep it cool and dry!

If you plan to make an over clock you can reverse your computer two back fans to spin on the other side to send air directly to the processor. I guarantee you will never hear those fans.

My laptop is an intel dual core and runs perfectly with passive cool and it’s much smaller than a desktop cooler. Heat pipes alone cool the CPU, the chipset and the graphic card. The air is extracted only when I cover the computer, all the rest of the time it’s shut down and works perfectly.
