- I've been using a pretty decent Noctua cooler on my I5 12400F for a while, and I couldn't help but wonder what would happen if I removed the fan. Today I tried exactly that.
Thanks for watching :)

Remembering the era of Athlon CPUs that didn't have thermal shutdown ability and would just cook themselves to death if you installed cooling in the wrong manner
😂 I love the phrase “cook themselves to death”
Tom's Hardware made a cool video about it back in 2001, I think you can still find on youtube.
edit. it's still there if you search "Toms Hardware: CPU Cooling"
@@TheEazyy Except the Intel board he used had CPU thermal protection, and the AMD one didn't, even though AMD boards with CPU thermal protection were available.
Just watched that vid, that athlon got up to 698°F! Fucking burned a hole in the chip and started catching fire... 😂😂😂
oh the good old days..
Your artwork is breathtaking. It is an melding of both form and textural representations that simultaneously sooth and yet bewilder both mind and body. Hang it on the fridge.
I will, thank you
still cooler than the socket 1700 intel stock coolers 😂
By far haha
amazing how they shipped those with i7's like they were going to do anything lol
Im still using the stock cooler on my 12400F never really goes past 65°c very often. But I also run the fan at a constant 80% speed to achieve this. It is not quiet, pretty audible actually. But I never really cared about how loud my fans are anyways
using stock cooler it with my i3 12100 my cpu temp is in 50- 60 degrees while gaming.
@@shadowmuneeb6551 thats the new stock cooler which is better than the old one. Also, the i3s are the only cpu the stock coolers were always more than enough for
Sometimes scratching that curiosity itch is just what ya gotta do lol. Nice video man!
Yeah gotta investigate!
This test is not stupid thought. If the heatsink fan is suddenly died and the replacement will come in the few days, you might still able to use your PC.
There are few suggestions that can lower the CPU temperature I can think of in this test. Disable turbo, use lower TDP, undervolting, and limit FPS to 60.
Yeah certainly a lot of options to be explored.
I have a gaming laptop which the cpu temperature tends do go around 96c' when playing games, i found that lowering cpu usage to 90% in power settings made it cool down to around 86c'
Did the same thing when my fan died . i locked my TDP to 40watt , could still play league of legends haha
That's why I once invested in cheap USB powered fans from Walmart (they look like regular air circulators one puts on floors, but are made of metal and are less than 15cm in diameter for use in desks). I use them to blow air next to my laptop when I game 😂 and sometimes on very budget desktop rigs I build/fix while troubleshooting them. One never knows when extra cooling might be necessary.
my friend recently looked at his pc and took a photo for me.
His random cpu cooler from china doesnt even have a fan on it. its a hyper 212 type knockoff and ran a r5 3600 just fine at 60c under stress test with just the case fans pulling air through it.

Damn RGHD, I didn't know you were a professional artist on the side. This bloke has some serious talents.
Yes indeed, Spiderman pulled an extra 10watts on your system, this was a good test as it shows that the passive cooler is good for 55 watts, but 65 watts pushes the limit.
I tried this on a 4790K overclocked to 4.6Ghz on a Noctua U14S passive and it was fine with most workloads.
I also tried this with i9 9900KS at 5Ghz and a Nocture NH-D15s passive and the with no power limits it could get a bit to toasty for my liking.
The same cooler with twin fans in Push Pull is good for a 200W load at around 85c.
I’m surprised that the CPU got that hot so quickly. With such a big heat sink and with adequate case cooling at least, I would have thought that the CPU would have run a bit warmer, but not crazy hot like that. Interesting experiment! I’m surprised that I’d never thought to do that myself! 🤓
Funnily enough, I have tried using my i7-12700 with NH-D15 fanlessly before. All I can say is that it was not a great experience. Part of that comes down to the fact that my motherboard can put 210w of power into that CPU, and also the fact that I did a lot of CPU intensive tasks back then. After 3 minutes or so with heavy video rendering, or opening several ffmpeg x264 tasks at the same time, the temperature would hit 100C. I didn't try cooling the CPU with a power limit of 125w or 65w though. That may work out.
cpu temps can jump crazy fast.
thats not a big heat sink, thats actually prety small compared to most, the width of it anyhow.Most are 2x thicker.these coolers are made for specialized builds where a thicker cooler would extend to far and run right into your ram with the fan on
As he said, he used an open bench, no case cooling.
It would be perfectly fine if it was actually in a case with other case fans.
It has literally zero airflow without that one strapped to the cooler.
the battlefield impression was the most accurate I ve ever seen

I’m currently trying to get an i9 12900k and 3070 to run passively in a monster Labo case.
Not an easy task, even with the right type of cooler. I’m 90% there! I undervolt the CPU by -0.07 offset and the GPU is about to get the same treatment… it’s a new PC so I’m still fiddling.
What kind of cooling solution can take care of a 12900k and a 3070 passively? Those components output a crazy amount of heat...

Lol love you and your channel mate, you never fail to deliver.
The current system I'm working on is completely passive, not even so much as a heatsink.
It's the computer I used as a teenager, a 1992 Amiga 1200 with a 68030 CPU clocked at 25mHz, with 2mb of chip(memory that can be used by the chipset, which includes graphics and sound) RAM and 4mb fast(memory that is considerably faster than chip RAM, but can only be utilised by the CPU) RAM, 2 880k floppy drives and a 1gb hard disk.
At stock it had a 68020 clocked at 14mHz, no fast RAM, no hard disk and a single 880k floppy. At this time, you could boot most games by putting the first game disk into first floppy drive before powering on, and it would bypass the OS and head straight to the game, though with some games like Sim City, you had to load the OS disk first, then swap in the game disk to play.
In those days even a passive cooler was a bit of novelty. I remember when I got first 486 DX2 and a tiny piece of metal that was heat sink - now I have to fiddle with these I thought 😆
@@aleksazunjic9672 Funnily enough, the CPU of the machine I'm "fixing"(it still works, just most of my game floppies are dead and I need a modern way to get files onto it from PC so I can rewrite the disk images to fresh disks, and USB floppy drives don't support 880k or 720k disks) is the equivalent to a 486DX-25, and mine is able to be ramped up to 50mHz pretty safely by soldering in a faster clock oscillator, but any higher would require a heatsink.
@@fattomandeibu If I recall correctly, 66 MHz would be a cutoff to introduce heat sink. Back in the day I tinkered with various 33 MHz and 40 MHz CPUs (386 DX, 486DLC, 486DX ...) and none of them had or needed heatsink. 486 DX2 at 66 MHz (which was in reality 2x33 MHz) actually did require one , as processor would quickly warm up during intensive gaming. On the other hand, if you lowered main frequency to 25 MHz (thus getting 50 MHz), you could get by without heatsink. Of course, there were no fans and no one even knew what thermal paste is :) In fact, I had one of those old horizontal cases (designed for monitor on top), so I would simply drop heatsink on the CPU without attaching it :) It was easier if I wanted to change something on the board .
@@aleksazunjic9672 The problem for me is that it is a "wedge" form factor system like, say, the C64, of course, it is bigger than a C64, but the CPU is on an expansion card in a laptop style trapdoor, and there is literally 1mm of space between the top of the CPU and the bottom of the case. I went with the more conservative 25mHz in order to avoid problems.
@@fattomandeibu Infamous Zorro I presume :) Well, if you do not want to remove trapdoor (like some people do) try to tailor your own thin copper heat-plate that would protrude out of the slot for cooling. Of course, there are custom made coolers already on the market
this video really shows why this really is the best PC channel out there.
Got the same cpu, cooled with a bit bulkier 775-era dual fan Noctua. Bloody hell, these things are a lucky find when you pull them from an old pc. It took a 10 euro bracket to fit it to this pc. Those fans are over a decade old, and sound perfectly normal. Gotta love Noctua.
I pieced together a Pentium 4 storage server out of spare parts for a friend once. Then we realized the case he wanted to use was a Dell and had a weird cooler fan and hood thing that we couldn't re-use with the new motherboard/cpu. He we just decided to strap on the big cooler that came with it to the dell board and see if it worked, even though I said I could rig up a way to attach a fan to the cooler.
He said it worked well enough, though the old Windows XP screensaver got about 1 frame per second. It did the job until he got a new computer to replace it.
All done in the name of science! Serious matters done in a fun way, carry on, we're still watching :)

This was interesting. Would love to see more of these kinds of curiosity videos!
Technically, most CPU coolers with large enough surface area with fins perpendicular to the ground can scoot out some heat using convection and keep cool the CPUs with moderate power consumption. However, most heatsinks tend to have very dense fin stacks. This is fine for coolers with fans, since forcefully pushing air through the gaps shouldn't be much of a problem. However, when using convection, having fins too dense can be problematic since it causes a pressure buildup in the fin stack gaps and make convection more difficult. This is why efficient passive coolers like the NH-P1 or some fanless cases that have radiators built into the case have sparse fin stacks.
Good to know if the fan on my CPU cooler dies (My cooler is the same style as yours) it will hold its own until I can get a new fan.
magnificent artists impression!
Having similar situation with my MSI R7950, bought second-hand. The owner swapped its cooler with aftermarket Arctic Twin Turbo II, but they forgot sending the adapter it came with, given it requires two Mini-Pin connectors for fans to work. Running anything that is GPU heavy gets it jump hastily onto 100C.
This can serve as an ideal solution for warming the room up without spending much electricity. You do not have to non-stop make the GPU run at max, just when it cools down.
Thank you for this video. Fun to watch someone so interested with computers. And a pretty informative idea about passive cooling
Now this is the high brow content I subscribed to this channel to see.
My computer has a Ryzen 9 5950X, overclocked to 4.65GHz. It can get hot quick. But I have a Noctua NH-D15 cooler with two fans, and a case with amazing airflow. When the CPU is not working hard, the CPU cooler fans do not rotate at all. It 's like this when watching RUclips or doing light computing. Only when the CPU is required to actually work for a living do the CPU fans spin up. The CPU temps are typically around 40-45C when not working hard and with the CPU fans not turning. This is purely due to the large heatsink and the good airflow from the other case fans.
You should definitely try this on an intel core i3 or pentium, i remember doing this to an old g4560, that thing never had the horsepower to heat up the stock heatsink so it didn't went over 55c° on my test.
Great Video! Thanks :) Still laughing at the artistic impression..... BRILLIANT!
Great artistic impression there!
Awesome fan. Thermal take quiet fans are pretty awesome too.
I had an athlon2 4ghz that i baked not knowing i needed a better cooler, was just using a stock amd cooler at the time. This was one of my first attempts to upgrade something in a pc and lets just say it didnt go over well. Needless to say having this comp sitting in a space with hardly any ventilation and the upgraded cpu with out a decent cooler, cooked the poor thing to death. Rest in peace you poor little thing.
Thanks for this guide on how to shorten the lifespan of your CPU.
What ever happened to all your Part 1 continuation videos? Eg. The OG Xbox to PC or Mac to PC conversion videos? Leaving us hanging for several years 😂
I've heard modern CPUs self-throttle to stay under 100c without a cooler. My AIO pump didn't work and I didn't know for awhile, CPU (i7-10700k) stayed at 90c constantly. Essentially running with no CPU cooler. Figured it out and fixed it with no further problems. Stays about 35-45c most of the time
I once didn't put my cooler properly that base didn't touch cpu at all.PC just ran at 200 mhz.
My cousin ended up unintentionally trying that for about a week when his poor cable management caused a cable to jam the CPU fan, and he always missed the CPU fan warning because his mobo didn't beep and didn't pay attention to the one that showed up on the monitor when it booted. I had to point it out to him when I noticed.
Luckily for him, his PC was in an airconditioned room his case fans managed to get enough air flowing that temps were manageable.
My Coolermaster HAF XM is bristling with fannage (had to be careful there), 2 front 240mm's, 2 top 240's, 2 rear 120's, 1 120 for the drive bays and one in draw 120 on the door panel. I recently upgraded my Ryzen 5 stock cooler with a Coolermaster MasterAir G100 and wasn't expecting too much but I got a decent 5 degrees lower temps. I bought the MasterAir new for a tenner and whilst its not as potent as my previous Coolermaster MK1 V8 (seriously low temps under stress) CM don't make the AM4 kit for the V8 MK1, MK2 and the V10 they do but not the MK1 sadly. I want to get one of those wall mountable Thermaltake glass cases as the HAF is server size massivo and the front panel USB's are beginning to die off too so its time is a coming, I'll send it your way if you want a monster case hehe

Brilliant video!!! Really enjoyed every second of it!!! :)))))))
I just wanna know,, most budget gaming laptops hit 80-85° on daily basis. Are they designed to sustain high temp compared to desktop counterpart??
The Spiderman benchmark show the exact temps my old i7 3770 averages on most modern games with an old stock cooler xD
You should use that cooler with your 3000g man. Far more suitable for passive cools! Nice one.
The Tjunc for your CPU is a lot higher than the temps you're hitting. I've got many CPUs that I have ran at near max Tjuncs for literal years and they're fine.
The CPU should automatically underclock before it hits the Tjunc as well
The cpu fried when he tried playing battlefield on it, so the under clock thermal protection didn't do its job and this is kinda interesting why did it fry when modern cpu are designed with over heating protection in mind.
@@edge8945 a chip just doesn’t fry itself from heat, unless it was already faulty.
I had experienced this my self once by accident. I was replacing my psu, and I hadn't realized that a stray cable got caught in the cpu fan, preventing it from turning. and I had only saw this when I turned off the PC. I touched the heatsink and it was so hot that I couldn't touch it for more than 1 second :P And this was after it being powered on for 2 min looking in the bios screen. It was my prev PC back when I overclocked an fx 6300 to 4.2 ghz.
My fan curve starts Fan at 45 degree, for lightweight usage like web browsing, old games or HD video playback it's not turning. Worth to mention that case Fans are running at 5V so it's not passive. R5 2600 and SPC Grandis. Maybe I will try some undervolt.
The funny thing is that a gaming laptop would hit 80-95 degrees Celsius in all the games, so this CPU cooler that is meant to be run with a fan, being run without a fan, still performed better than the average gaming laptop
Yup. My gaming laptop easily hits that range when playing intensive games. And that's with a CPU undervolt and the fans cranked so loud that the damn thing sounds like a jet engine lol
@@filipjovanovic8138 Yeah, first time I bought a gaming craptop that happened, never bought one again
@@clutch44444 I don't mind it personally. I got it for an insanely good deal when prices were crazy and I use it headlessly for game streaming via Moonlight, and as a Plex server. It's hidden in the closet beneath the stairs so I can't hear the fans haha
I have a ThermalRight Ultra 120EX on the CPU, without cooler, i placed 2 plastic sheets on the case's back cooler to make it sure it collect air from the heatsink. Never had any problems with that and i using it for several years. I also put a fan controller circuit that sense the temp in front of the fan, betwen the fan and the cpu heatsink. The circuit was from a old PSU. Some years ago i had a server in this machine and i wanted it to be as quiet as posible cause i have it in my room.
Chicken salad: my favorite benchmark
The C14S works great for horizontal case layouts, i passively cooled my 3950x with it using only the case fans and the chimney effect(i did end up making a chimney out of a cardboard box to get the speeds over 3Ghz)
Of note, i was using handbrake fully loaded with 3 simultanious transcodes, and you would see much better results with this cooler (passively) if you vertically mounted the motherboard
Sorry, 3Ghz on a 5950X? I didn't know it was possible to go that low.
@@dudebroguymate I can go lower, in windows power plan i was only limiting it to 68%, on my 3950x i was able to get it to 30% before it seemed to not go any lower, and if the BIOS you can probably take it even lower as i was just using the built in windows tool for reducing power
If you have a very good CPU cooler like this and your fans fail, it's honestly not a big deal in a short term until you get a new fan.
AiO coolers? Oh you'll know the moment those fail lol. Never had it happen personally, but it's extremely obvious before they are about to go out.
I played by accident without CPU Fan Doom eternal in a hot close room (Puntarenas, Costa Rica), with a close case (and old) that just got 1 fan at the back, for a week straight (because I just purchased the game)
Ridiculous as it may sound but Ive set my CPU fans to 0% up at 65°c. It's just silent the moment they stop turning. After 65°c it gets a Max of 30% fanspeed. All done on a R7 5800x and a Noctua NH D15 with 2 fans. Its a rarety when the fan starts turning really
Im very impressed it took that long to tap out usualy that experiments are done with low power cpus like celerons or pentiums. But now you know dont put any new cpu on passive cooling or you may damage your stuf.
Did you also remove the powersupply fan? Think that will still generate some airflow so not complete passive…
This is one of the best videos I’ve seen😍
Weirdly i went on the same adventure just a few days ago, i found a Zotac 9800GT i had laying around to have quite a boring cooler and when i found a cooler Gelid UV one from early 2011 from the x58 days, i did some fun tests, the stock cooler no fan boiled faster than the kettle for a quick cuppa, of which my room smelt like hot metal instead of tea...mmm, delicious, to which i then felt like making a public announcement at an airport when plugging the fan back in..what a noise. The gelid one then had its turn and when it was idling at 12C at full speed and 14C lowest speed, i thought it would be an amazing idea to try passive after the low an high fan stress tests netted me 21 and 23C..to which is decided it wanted its own cup of tea sitting in the low 90s while the room filled with the sounds of a whining coil, i accidentally sneezed beside it which lowered temps by 5C and it only took 40s for the fans to cool it back down to those low 20s.. a fun adventure and 2 cuppas down..perhaps you could have your own fun with a low power passive cooler build for a bit of fun and throw in a few thermi and intel 12th gen jokes in there, sounds like a cracking video idea!
hey now we know the base fan is quite viable and upgrades won't make a big difference thanx bro.
i keep all fans in my PC running at 500-700 rpms. it is silent enough that i can't hear them and the only sound is from external hard storage drives. running games and video encoding (no overclocking) is fine. at night the TV volume at its lowest volume setting (2/100) is clearly audible. there is a baby in the room, that is why i wanted the quietest PC. i've tried fanless, this is the better compromise. 500-700, never higher.
I am not a fan of fanless solutions, but this video was a bit of a fun. ;-)
4:11 haha awesome screenshot xD
If anyone else is considering this, please also consider capping the FPS's, specially if you are using a 60hz display. I'm guessing at 60fps the cpu would have stayed at far better temps.
capping fps without freesync/gsync isnt great. i see much more noticible stutters because it often drops below 60 during demanding scenes before the gpu load ramps up and gets back to 60.
@@hailgod1 He actually did a video relatively recently which showed that setting no cap within the game but capping it in the gpu settings instead solves the stuttering issue. Can confirm from personal testing as well.
@@hailgod1 I cap my frames in Adrenalin, I set minimum 60 and max 74 which is what I was able to overclock my 60hz monitor to, also in Adrenalin settings. Zero stutter. Note, once you make the overclock monitor setting in Adrenalin, you still have to right click the desktop and select the overclock setting in windows by going to advanced settings.
Ive done the same with my old 2600X (havent done it to my 3600 since it runs hotter, could be badly applied paste but its well below problematic so its fine) as the cooler turned out to be very over-kill, in fact its the same or at least a very similar one to yours, except I just turned the fan off instead of dismounting it, and while boost clocks suffered a tad more at peak temperatures, but even stress tests were still within whats safe, even with enough time to get temperatures to settle.
Greetings. I have been watching your channel for a long time. Not long time ago you released a video about the Gigabyte G5 RTX3060 gaming laptop. I need to ask you for advice please. I'm thinking about buying it, but I heard that when it's running at full power, it's very loud, and I have a problem with that. I personally will use probably 2 GB of Vram memory and I need to know if it will run quietly when using just this memory. I understand that it's laud if I gonna use graphic card on maximum but I am not gonna use it on maximum. Let me know please. Thank you
I noticed you have your power connectors in your GPU and they come from one branch? Is this safe to do? I'm about to use a 3070 also
The Noctua cooler doing that well without a fan isn't surprising. What we really want to know is how was your chicken salad? Tasty, I hope.
It was lovely
Should rename the video to : "I removed my CPU Fan for a day , what happened next might shock you !"
I bet a bulkier cooler would handle it no prob, used a Raijintek Ereboss on my Ryzen 2600, no fans, and it handled it without thermal throttling. It´s a fun experiment cause the trade off is a bit less noise for a bit more heat.
Winter Build.
90 degree is uncomfortable.
Laptop user with 100 degree CPU: yeah it's fine
LMAO! I did that with mine briefly as well about a year ago. I've got a 3600x, x570 board with a , can I remember how to spell it now, A Scythe(??) Ninja5 cooler which is about the size of a football with both fan's attached. It did not freeze up and hit around 80c if I recall correctly. I even had the case fan's off. Nothing hit max after about 45 minute's to an hr. Yet, I decided the silence was too erie and I like to keep my system as cool as possible. My GPU fan's I left running, it was an old gtx 970 and I didn't want to possibly hurt that as I had to pay nearly 280 dollar's US for it as my previous card died from a bad voltage spike. (I did the cheap PSU thing, terrible mistake, had no computer for 6 month's!!). I've corrected all that since. i knew better beforehand, but convinced myself it would be alright and could use the saved money elsewhere, made it 6-7 month's on a completely new system...my very first all new build. I now bite the bullet and buy part's that won't murder my system. I've had zero issue's since.
these heatsinks are not designed for passive the gap between the fins needs to be bigger to initiate convection currents
I have the Noctua NH-d15 with 2x140mm fans. This cools my I5 6600k CPU, that I still use today. I overclocked it to 4.6Ghz at 1.35v, and noticed the temps only go up a little from 28c to 38c. So I wondered what would happen with the fans turned off. And I was shocked to see the temps hit 49c on the hottest core. Summer time it seems to hit 55c. But that's no where near its max thermal limit of 95c. Best Air cooler you can still get in my opinion 👌
Yeah, the 6600K isn't that warm of a CPU in the first place.
@@dudebroguymate no I realise that, but I was still impressed. Since I found that out, I have my fans on so low, that if I go any lower they stop. It make my PC sound almost silent, when not gaming 😁
@@jonathanabbott3097 If you enjoy quiet PCs, you should try having an AIO on both CPU & GPU. I've got a 5900X and an RTX 3090 with AIOs on both and my PC is as silent in gaming as it is in idle. It's fantastic.
so did you toast the CPU or was it ok when cooled down ?
I remember when I've build the PC for the first time with a Intel Pentium Processor G645.
It has run for a year without a thermal paste until I noticed after a first cleaning that something is missing.
It is still working until this day. (with thermal paste now)
So basically, what we already know. Don't try and run a beefy CPU completely fanless.
Maybe you might get away with one of those really crappy CPUs from either Intel or AMD (like, laptop based Celerons/A4s/E2s/E1s) but for modern and powerful CPUs, always use a suitable cooling solution for the components you are using. A fan is a must.
I wonder how this experiment would fare if you had it in a case, with a fan on the case blowing air towards it.
Ironically, I'm a fan of this video.

Nice pic at the end xD
I get the idea of testing like this, however the Heatsink is designed around a cooling fan so hence why it could it did overheat the CPU eventually ;)
It is an interesting idea to test however you really have to try passive solutions like the Ice Giant but really that cooler is NOT a budget design what so ever.
The HP 8300 AIO with a Core i7 2nd gen CPU I have at work runs purely passive, but then I don't tax it too much.
It's been running for the past 5 years now...
Edit: not five, but four years, lol lockdowns felt long af, also the AIO has no shell on and has a GPU heatsink bodged onto the stock heatsink as the stock heatsink acts as a heat-plate as well.
