Waco Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 (edited) Almost all passive heatsinks require some amount of airflow. I don't I'd run any machine without at least one case fan to stir air up. Edited May 19, 2011 by Waco Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drdeath Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 (edited) I reviewed 2 E350's. They come with a very small heatsink with a very quiet 90mm fan. Here is the link to my review..... http://www.pureoverclock.com/review.php?id=1250 I have another coming for review on my home forum next week. Pm me if your interested.

Drdeath Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 Imo.... if it is large enough, it may work..... The E350 operates on 8w with max draw of 16W.... I think... obviously we are not talking notebook. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrewr05 Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 If the case was finned and integrated with the heatsink I think just natural room currents may cool it, but I would be leery about running it with no airflow at all even if it is a ulv setup.

Yes, I concur.He will need some kind of air flow but look at the Sapphire Mini E350 I posted. The air cooler is tiny. He probably will be ok with it.(stock cooler) Edited May 19, 2011 by Drdeath Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
henrik Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 thanks guys, well i want to be under 10Db for noise level,, i think i could throw it into a lian q07 and add a 120-140 intake or exhaust fan and run that in 5v , a slipstream or noiseblocker fan the http://www.warungdigital.com/search/asus-e35-deluxe got a large passive heater I have 1 more question,,,. will a ZOTAC iONITX-P-E mITX WiFi SU2300 ION be faster for browsing the web and casual stuff like that , or its a toss up, i currently have a acer One whit a Atom E270, i thinnk its that cpu, running xp and its killing me for browsing.. realy slow.' ill either put on unbutu or win7 for the new setup.

zackhaf Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 i dont know if a noise level of 10dB is achievable, a light breeze is like 7 or 8 i think. also, id personally recommend ubuntu. my laptop is quite old, 6 or so years, and it is pretty fast for the web when i had ubuntu on it, but now that i popped in an old drive that had windows 7, its not nearly as fast.

Drdeath Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 (edited) I reviewed the Gigabyte E350N and the Sapphire Mini350. They both browsed the internet fine. To tell you the truth, there was not much difference from my I7 930. If you have allot running in the background, sure it will effect performance. These APU's were not made to run high intensive programs but to handle everyday apps very nicely. Hardware installation was a bit slow but downloads and browsing was smooth. I have one from another manufacturer due early next week. Edited May 19, 2011 by Drdeath Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HatersGonnaHate Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 (edited) I've recently caught the mini-ITX bug, and I'm very interested in more reviews. These little suckers seem perfect for an always on PC to have connected to a home server & act as a gateway to the HTPC. As well, why not let my Main Rig fold while I run steam on a Mini-ITX box and play less graphically intensive games or stream movies. I just stated the obvious to most of us.
