Going Passively cooled on Ryzen 5 5600X and GeForce RTX 3080 with Turemetal UP10 Chassis

Going Passively cooled on Ryzen 5 5600X and GeForce RTX 3080 with Turemetal UP10 Chassis

People like silent products; me, myself, and I are among that user-group. It's one of the many reasons why we have been pushing so hard on acoustics in our graphics card reviews. Ideally, a graphics card would be passive. However, that brings a lot of complications.

Take the GeForce RTX 3080, for example; it has a rated 320W TGP, that's total graphics power and not even the entire board. So the card needs to ditch 300W to 350 Watts of heat at any given time while gaming. Can you do that passively, with no fans?

Well, Mical Wong from the company Turemetal figured, let's try that. The result is an impressive design where they passively cool the PC that harbors a GeForce RTX 3080 and Ryzen 5 5600X. Built into their flagship Turemetal UP10 case, the results are .. well challenging but somewhat acceptable considering the Turemetal UP10 is designed for 300 Watts of cooling and basically ... is one huge heatsink.

When the PC fires up, the RTX 3080 is too much for passive cooling at default settings. The GPU reaches 87 degrees Celsius within minutes; however, that was while running Furmark. With a bit of clocking down closer to 300W in total for the cooling system, it all starts to work. 

While impressive from that passively cooling point of view, we also have to reiterate that the more premium graphics cards run completely silent already. And if you are pointing out that the price premium on such a graphics card is steep, you'd also need to realize that the Turemetal UP10 will cost you close to 800 USD; that's just for the chassis.

I really admire the dedication (and even the aesthetic to a degree), but question the overall practicality of it. I too would like nothing else than to ditch as many noisemakers in the PC as possible, but...

Allways wanted passively cooled PC... but my 1kW PSU says NO :)

Cool thing, but too expensive to make sense for me personally.

NOW we're talking. No moving parts to degrade over time. A dream come true.
Hope it gets reviewed.

Other than bragging rights, why downclock a 3080 instead of just using a 3070? Anyway, for most uses there are plenty of very quiet 140mm fans availible now.
