NoFen CR-100A, 100% passive CPU cooling

The Korean Nofen presented a special and impressive passive heatsink for cooling the CPU desktop, called CR-100A. The technology used is called Fluid Dynamic Pipe (FDP) and uses a huge heatpipes loop to form a steady stream of warm air upward. The heat sink is signed circular with a diameter of no less than 226 mm, a height of 132 mm and a weight of 763 grams.

From the base lapped mirror part 4 copper heatpipes 6mm in diameter nickel forming two semicircles on which several wires are welded aluminum (2mm). The NoFen CR-100A is able to dissipate without the use of any fan of modern CPUs from Intel and AMD processors with TDP up to 100W. This limitation would therefore exclude the enthusiast end models and heavily overclocked CPU.
