I want to build passive cooled ITX system with R5 2400G.
Does anyone have some experience like that?
Which passive case will you recommend?
I see this options:
  • HDPLEX H3 V2
  • HDPLEX H1.S V2
  • FC8 Alpha
  • Other ideas?
Which one will be better? On paper they all can handle 65W CPU, but that about real life? Any throttling should be expected?

A few quick results. Didn't have time for extended testing:
Room temperature 22.0C (educated guess)
CPU idle 28.0C-42.0C (installed some programs during "idle")

After 30min Prime95
CPU 95.9C with a all core clock of 3.57GHz
VRM MOS 95.0C
VSOC MOS 90.0C
Samsung EVO 970 84.0C
The case was too hot to touch. Probably could have cooked an egg on it.

Gave it 30min to cool down and then ran 3DMark Night Raid test (11700 points)
Temperatures before test
CPU 38.6C
VRM MOS 51.0C
VSOC MOS 53.0C
GPU thermal diode 38.0C
Samsung EVO 970 71.0C

Peak temperatures during test
CPU 77.0C
VRM MOS 68.0C
VSOC MOS 70.0C
GPU thermal diode 78.0C
Samsung EVO 970 81.0C

Thats it, for now. Will try some undervolting/overclocking and extended testing when I have the time. Even thinking about a slow 90mm fan during prime/gaming loads.

Hope this helps

Hi @Tossy I'm thinking of getting 4350g and undervolt it, and pair it with H1 / H3, after looking at your post looks like H3 might cool it better.
How's the temp after you undervolt it?

I were able to do some mild undervolting while still having a stable system. Temperatures fell about 3-4K after that.
Since then I played several Indie Games (sometimes over several hours), without getting an unstable system (e.d. bluescreens or falling fps). I haven't measured the temperatures in these cases.
Never tried an additional fan as written above. It might help, but might also be disappointing.
I'd be interested to hear the results when you the your system!

Thanks for checking,
Hmm after reading some fanless build reviews and comments i'm not sure if i should pursue fanless path or go with fan + magnetic dust filter.
The main interest for me was the dust-free machine, i dont mind a little noise.
if fan+ dust filter could achieve the same thing at cheaper cost + yield better performance then i think it's still better option.
