The FC12 isn't big enough?

fc12 is not passive cooled. It’s similar to other ATX tower case which needs fans.

 

The FC12 is fantastic . I have had one for years. I used to shout about it but gave up. Great for ATX and even bigger. Great for PCIe direct lanes. I'm not sure about availability now. Passive cooling is fine with copper ice pipe. Depends on CPU. Even with newer higher W CPUs we have seen so much inventiveness here with DIY cooling. Did I say the FC12 is amazing. A Forum search might be informative.

I have never ventured trying to passive cool fc12. do you have some links on how its done ? what is copper ice pipe ?

 

Below is NOFAN CR-80EH Copper IcePipe.

You can go to c. 65W.

I have no problem flac to 176.4 with HQPlayer - CPU only about 5%.

If I got a more powerful mobo/CPU I would keep this case and muck about with blocks and pipes.

Everybody's doing it!
