Noctua's pumpless liquid cooler matches AIO performance

Noctua has developed a prototype for a pumpless liquid cooler that rivals the performance of traditional All-In-One (AIO) liquid coolers. This new design has successfully managed to cool a high-end AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D processor, which has a Thermal Design Power (TDP) of 230W. The company is reportedly aiming to move this innovative cooling solution beyond the prototype stage. AI
