Overview
Bolting a heatsink pillar to the chip, the case carries heat out through the aluminum body so no fan is needed. A copper shim and thermal pads join the chip to the metal, and the whole case is heavy duty.
Quiet operation is the clear gain, since there is no fan to hum or clog with dust. The limitation is that passive cooling relies on air around the case, and the fit is for a single board model.
Who it's for
A media player, a home server or a desk project that needs silence is the usual use. Boards other than the listed model, or setups that need a fan, should look at a different case.
Pros and cons
- Silent, no fan
- Heatsink pillar with copper shim
- Aluminum body spreads heat
- Thermal pads included
- Fits one board model only
- Short warranty term
- Indoor use only
- Passive cooling has limits
Performance notes
Heat moves from the chip through the contact layers into the heatsink pillar, then spreads across the aluminum shell to the air. With no fan, cooling depends on room temperature and airflow around the case. Heavy loads are where a passive design runs warmest.
