There isn't a single fan in this striking silent mini gaming PC build

If the sound of whirring fans spinning up grinds your gears, then how about building a PC that doesn’t just look cool, but also manages to stay cool without needing any fans?  I spotted this mini silent gaming PC build on Reddit today, and I applaud the builder’s commitment to cutting fans completely out of the equation, all while using off-the-shelf parts. PC component makers often misleadingly use the word "silent" to describe quiet products, but this one genuinely fits the bill.

Naturally, there aren’t any super high-end components in this PC build, but it still contains an Intel Core 15-13400F, a ten-core CPU that’s listed as the best value option on our guide to buying the best gaming CPU. What’s more, the builder of Project Silence, who goes by the alias of Big_Muffin_574, says the CPU temperature normally stays at around 50°C, and only hits 60°C on a bad day.
