A PC modder known as der8auer has successfully demonstrated a novel cooling method for CPUs using a 110cm 3D-printed chimney. This setup leverages the 'stack effect,' a phenomenon where temperature differences create natural convection, to passively draw air through the system. In testing with an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, this fanless approach reduced CPU temperatures by 19 degrees Celsius, showcasing a radical alternative to traditional fan-based cooling. AI
