Modder uses 110cm chimney to passively cool Ryzen 7 9800X3D, cuts temps by 19C

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

PC modder Roman Hartung, known as der8auer, has successfully demonstrated a novel passive cooling method for high-performance CPUs. By constructing a 110cm tall 3D-printed chimney, he leveraged the 'stack effect' to create natural convection, significantly reducing temperatures. This experiment, using an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, resulted in a 19°C drop in CPU temperatures without the need for any fans. AI

IMPACT This innovation in passive cooling could influence future PC hardware design, potentially leading to quieter and more energy-efficient systems.

RANK_REASON This is a modification of existing hardware, not a new product release or core research.
