Now calling your PC is one of the most important parts of system building, having run an overcooked G 30 to 58 for a couple of years on this stock caller, I know how annoying noise can get, especially when it's coming from your CPU fan.

Now to combat issue can spend loads of money on a huge heat sink with massive fans that are guaranteed to keep your temperatures low.

Or you could do the exact opposite.

This is an Arctic passive CPU call, and it claims to be able to cool your CPU efficiently.

Well, using no fan whatsoever.

Now, this isn't usually the sort of thing I do here on this channel.

But having seen this product for the low, low price of just £10 roughly 15 American dollars on Amazon, I just had to give it a try and see if it could efficiently call one of my cheaper on lower wattage CP used that I have in my collection.

Who knows If you're putting together an HT PC build and you're opting for something that's hopefully going to be silent, this may be the ideal product for you, So let's get into it.

Take a look at whether or not this thing is a suitable solution.

Talk about some of the limitations you may face with a cooler like this on, of course, test it temperature wise against in toast stock offering.

So the CPU I'm using today is the seller on G Force 60 a super cheap sucker 11 55 offering with a TDP of just 35 watts.

That's an important factor to note because this heat sink is suitable for any Intel CPU rated at 47.

What's or below.

That doesn't mean you're limited to processes like this cellar on, though.

For example, Intel's I three by five and I 70 Siris are all rated at 45.

What's or less it does me?

No, that if you want a little more room TDP wise, then it would be worth considering other, more expensive, passive callers out there if a silence experience is what you're after.

But today we're focusing on what is probably the cheapest no noise option.

Installation is pretty simple.

Just take out the washers included in the package and stick them over the holes on the back of the motherboard.

Its overall an easy process but quite fiddly at the same time.

Or you have to do after applying the washers is put the little springs on the screws on line them up with the holes on the bottom of the heat sink.

Once you get the 1st 1 in the heat, sink should pretty much hold itself in place and let you relax a little while you try to line things up once its own.

I think it looks pretty good in a simplistic, shiny silver sort of way.

Of course, the product can't just look good.

It has to do a job as well.

So with that, let's get into it.

Let's take a look at the Idol temps.

First of all, with both this and a stock cooler, the first thing I did was fire up eight or 64 to stress.

Test the CPU, as you can see it idle with the stock solution, the process has sat consistently at 35 degrees and after running the test for two hours due to my own time limitations.

Of course, the maximum recorded temperature was 50 the Arctic 11 passive.

On the other hand, which, by the way, comes pre applied with MX two thermal paste fluctuated between 35 38.

Idol, averaging 37 with just this program, open idle attempts, then with this cooler and CPU not too much different low temps.

On the other hand, well, they weren't too different either.

At 54 degrees, this tells you mostly what you need to know, and that's that you will be sacrificing a few degrees with a Cebu like this for a completely silent operation.

But I think that's a worthy trade off, considering that the process is still operating within very reasonable temperatures, Of course, different processes will yield different results.

I think I got curious as to what sort of temperature difference we could expect in games.

So I ran a couple of titles that the G 4 60 could handle In call of duty, world at war, the CPU peaked at 50 degrees.

Considering the Max T case temperature for this model is 65.5, that's a figure well within reasonable limits compared to the stock.

All of this passive solution run four degrees hotter again.

I feel a decent figure and successful compromise if you want to eliminate as much noise as possible from your planned or current low power build in far quite or the endgame benchmark anyway.

It was a similar result, with the process of peeking at 51 degrees on the family's cooler.

On a little call about a lot louder on the stock Intel set up Bear in mind, I did add a rear exhaust fan to the back of the case after filming, which was present during the test of both coolers.

Overall, if you've got a low powered CPU that needs calling us truthfully and a silently as possible, then this may be a perfect solution for you.

I wouldn't recommend using a process of that features a higher TDP that this thing is built for at all, even if it is tempting, because that could prove disastrous to your build.

Something like this is perfect for a small media center or gaming machine, though, as I said, there are also plenty.

Of course, I serious chips that this would efficiently keep cool, and I'll actually be exploring that a little more when I put together a silence budget build using this thing very soon.

As for this video while I hope you've enjoyed it has been a little bit different.

But if you like to leave a like on it down below, leave a dislike.

If you didn't let me know if you use one of these callers and how well it's holding up for you, subscribe to the channel if you haven't done so already, and hopefully I'll see all of you in the next one.
