Passive cooling can work very well.

Thank you, that's what I wanted to know, incredible that this CPU with the highest performance doesn't get as hot as others, however I read the performance TDP could be 180W this means that "it works very well" on a passive chassis because it is not under high load

My questions are because I'm considering to put this inside my HDPlex chassis which is passive of course

Or any other proposal for this CPU which seems interesting for its power and PTD

Follow @StreamFidelityadvice, for a passive design you'll be better off with a 12th gen chip than 11th

Ryzen 5X00X is pretty decent and good thermals, but not the same performance as 12th gen intel
