+Fahim S. MVC Posted March 31, 2015 MVC Share Posted March 31, 2015 Fantastic news! Nothing I hate more than fans in machines... Different for a server or a high powered performance desktop, but most machines just don't need fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATLien_0 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Crazy that we can finally do fanless again on a full blown laptop. I think I have an old Pentium 1 tower in my basement that was fanless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Norris Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Prime95 is a good stress test for a cooling system, especially if you're building your own setup, if you want power consumption and heat this test will certainly give you that.. I would think modern setups would shut down when they overheat but I've read horror stories too... kind of an unrealistic test for 99.9% of people though. Most systems will never get that sort of workout even under a "normal" heavy load.. gaming, day-to-day work, compiling etc etc won't even get close usually.

Ian S. Posted April 1, 2015 Author Share Posted April 1, 2015 Well one thing I have an issue with my SP3 is the fact the fan is kinda loud versus my Macbook Air's which is a lot quieter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinMacLin Guy Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 As soon as I read Intel Atom, I automatically believed the device would be fanless; it would have been quite a design failure if an Intel Atom based device actually needed fans to cool itself.

siah1214 Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Bunch of ignorance about Atoms in this thread. They're actually good processors since 2013, decently powerful for running Office apps and even light gaming (I was shocked to find Half Life 2 was downright smooth even with the graphics maxed out on my Asus T100) Sure it's a 10 year old game but it ran it fine. You can even play more modern games with the graphics turned down. My t100 is fanless, never overheats, plenty fast for what it's designed for. Don't expect to run BF4 with settings maxed out or handle any giant autodesk files, but for most uses it's just fine.

Very few actually need an i3/5/7 unlikely most on Neowin would have you believe. The fact that Intel make server class atoms should tell you enough about their performance. Also, fanless PCs rock and don't overheat... so much ignorance it is unbelievable. +InsaneNutter and Aergan 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
