I dont see any cons for fanless heatsinks,besides that you cant overclock but using fanless HS already states that your not overclocking your system, just have the correct balance in intake and exhaust in your system and a fanless PC is super silent

oh, so you can't overclock fanless systems then?

you can, but its at a very limited range only since you opted for a silent pc that means you dont want to overclock it that much.

hmm... trade-offs of the trade. My AMD64 system is relatively quiet even when overclocked. So I guess i'll stick with the fans then. But I admit. Bagsik kaayo ug mga nawng ang mga GPUS nga giputos ug dako nga heatsink nga fanless pa gyud. It's just so.... mechanical!

On the other hand, gotta love those new cool n quiet concepts. Now if only they can apply that with my SUN Servers I wouldn't have to be walking into a room of jet engines everytime I need to do something.
