crystal comments on Air cooling is just better

I had a water cooled system that could do web browsing and other basic tasks with zero fan speed

Isn't that the default for (air cooled) notebooks?

With CPUs with very low TDPs, yes.

I once built a home theatre PC that was completely passively cooled. The case was basically the entire heat sink. It got the heat from the CPU through heatpipes. Unfortunately the shitty motherboard died due to unreleased reasons and since then I didn't have the time or money to revive it.

The cases aren't even built anymore. No idea why, it was really cool.
