This is an incredibly clean and uncomplicated conversion, and I'd say probably the cleanest I've seen on CZcams. Beautiful results!
I have several broken but still working laptops & your video inspired me to convert these to your fanless design. I will send you some photos when I finally build them. Thanks for posting!
You are a true artist! We're waiting the fanless gaming monster pc! Thank you for making this
Just watched all your video's and I have to say that the quality of your video's and your pc's are superb!
Great conversion, thanks for sharing.
Very uncomplicated and reliable. Love it!
It's truly a work of art. Industrial designers could not have done better !
Hey man, i am really impressed with your work. You need to share more your videos! You deserve a lot more regognition :D
Thanks for support :)
This is exactly what I have been looking for, a media desktop that makes no noise to connect to my TV! great concept, thanks!!
This ist the best and Most beautiful repurposed Laptop I have ever seen. No Idea why it doesn't have a million views already
It look amazing, man. So industrial, so miimalistic... Even inside...
Simple, nice, effective design. Thumb up :)
Very nice, clean looking and inspiring project!
Ooooh idears. Lovely build! Quality 👍!
Wonderful work and distinctive and comfortable nerves.
This is gorgeous!
Your projects are awesome.
I like the fact that you say "good" with 56° in full load at 45w
Impressive, great work. 👍👍👍
This is fantastic! Subbed
wow thats cool its like an Art :)..keep doing good art cheers
Impressive work, very stylish.
Amazing product👍
Really nice work 👍🏻
Really nice channel and case though! Got subscribed to stay up to date.
Keep up the good work man! :)
Thank You!
I love the wood working on it and full heatsink. You did a great job. But it would be nice to see a full build on how you did the metal and work working. Other then that very nice.
Beautiful!
for a moment I thought it was the big gaming pc project. I can't wait anymore
Incredibly impressive....
this is awesome 2 in 1 build, a PC also room heater
Such an underrated channel.
Hey man excellent video. Also why would you suggest to mute the video the music is so soothing I didn’t expect to like it so much ! 👌🏻
Very cool!
Nice work, I think you are a perfectionist like me! :)
Thanks for sharing this with us, even if you created it back in 2013
Interesting idea
I can't wait to see you cool that 300W GPU passively. That will be properly interesting.
Your project really inspired me:! I'll build a something similar BUT with carved wood! :D
nice video, thanks you for share
You earned a sub
06:03 It seems difficult to connect the ports. 06:14 And this looks more difficult because of the wood stand right below those ports. Your design is absolutely pretty, but can I see the actual cable connection?
it looks good but i dont think its actually working
... Excelente!
Hey I was wondering if you could make water cooled fanless PC for gaming and overclocking!
Calyos should really hire you
Looks nice. I would like to see it working... 😇
The Music is actually pretty cool.
Kick Ass Awesome
Great project, however I'm wondering if the efficiency would be better if there were Peltier modules in between the heatsink and the copper part or between the chips and the entire heatspreader
If you manage to dissipate 300w passively, I will be thoroughly impressed.
Are you looking into a capillary-action system?
The design is clean, classy and so well executed. I’m curious where the various metal parts and fittings were repurposed from. Since it seems metal working tools and skills could be hard to acquire…
Nice looking case! I wonder how you made the system into a PC that doesn't run of a battery but with some PSU?
this is very nice build. i am interested to see how it looks with io plugged in.
Hey.
How about the cooling?
If the system will work for a long time.
Effectiveness drops dramatically, if I'm not mistaken.
What are the ideas that would be fixed?
Broken laptops are the best value for budget home servers and HTPCs. I get ones that have a fan control app so that they become passive at idle... e.g. tpfancontrol for thinkpads
Absolute nice, really good work... but how do use the USB, HDMI, and the other connectors?
The gap on the bottom is to short for a normal USB dongle or a HDMI cable.
The gap at the bottom is 65mm total, it's enough for my cables.
dont skip the video, just sayin
That is a very good and clean looking project. I really liked it but am I wrong or reaching the aio panel is so difficult ?
Nice work, recycling is best, keeps pollution down.
Nice, but how do you easily access ports?
This is great. Unless I missed some thing the motherboard is only held into the chipboard with two screws which go through the heatsink? Is that correct?
im using a laptop motherboard now from a busted laptop as my main pc.. i5 cpu and rtx3050. i hope to do something similar to this with mine!
Has there been any galvanic corrosion around the heatsink where the copper and aluminum meet? Was a large copper heatsink not financially feasible or available, or could you have made the cpu heatsink out of aluminum too? I love the look of this build, I just hate that copper and aluminum seem to be mortal enemies bound to fight it out and the cpu and temps being collateral damage.
Awesome DIY Project! I've always thought of buying a normal CPU HSF before, but your method is very eye opening to me. My only concern is to be honest I'm very unskilled in the way of electronic boards, therefore I don't know how to find out which place of the board is fine to make hole with. Could you please tell me how did you install the backplate on this video or maybe just link me to some tutorial about this so I could learn more about it? Once again I thank you for your spectacular project which awe and inspire me!
I'm glad I inspired you. Definitely don't make any holes in the motherboard. It's hard to write a universal solution because every laptop is different.
@@fanlessguy1395 I see I thought you were making holes on it haha. So you just makes Holes according to the motherboard backplate?
Where have you got from the aluminium sheet Heatsink?
Awesome work, but may i ask where you bought the on/off button that you use?
on/off button is original, a custom-made fingerboard is used
Really really nice! But how do you plug in the cables for keyboard, mouse and screen?
You'd have to use the available USB and video ports on the motherboard.
Hi there, I find your project very interesting and I also wanted to similar thing. I want to know what sort of screws you're using to hold copper heat spread. I see in the video the screws are getting sunk and still holding on the copper heat spread. Also what is the thickness of the heat spread?
I do not understand exactly the question about the screws, but the thickness of the heatspreader is 5mm in my case - it depends on the need of the motherboard
after watching this i thought break my laptop and do it... right now :)
did you test the spreading of the thermal paste, looks like it could be not enough between the copper cold plate and the aluminium Heatsink
between the CPU and the heatspreader is only one point of the paste and the area is about 1 cm2, then there is a 5 mm heatspreader (about 60 cm2) and between the heatsink I gave 28 paste points, I believe the heat transfer will be enough and more pastes would not have a positive effect for heat transfer.
Great video - but how did you get away with not having a CPU fan as laptops usually require one to be present in the BIOS.
i believe you basically need to fool the bios into thinking there is one. short it some how
And there is no port in the video
My pretty strong laptop with an it 6300HQ and an Nvidia 950M didn't need to have the fan connected
looks good, but why havent you placed standoffs/washers, and why isnt the cpu fan installed? just a huge passive heatsink.. I dont think the screen would turn on if thats the case
5th comment...😀 please do a givaway of your fanless gaming pc... pretty please it is so sick and i am a subscriber
how do you turn on a laptop motherboard ? if the power button is broken
I already took out the mobo from the laptop case i have a lenovo ideapad z370
genial
hi
3:00 what this is parts
and what you use type wood?
Did I miss the PSU or is it external factory one?
we're waiting for fanless 780ti. man, that will be awesome :)
But why? That card is 3 generations old.
DIY Perks did a CPU Cooler on a GPU already go check him out.
Yes but it's a hot one. If you can do it with that you can do it with anything.
Try cooling a R9 295X2 without any fans, or better yet a R9 390x2 red devil (it's got 4x8pin power) ;)
If with a 35W processor works fine, I can see it making wonders on a Ryzen 5 2500U since it is a 15W processor.
Someone have a video or knows how he build the cooling system?
Where do you buy those passive cooling fin things?
this is a common heatsink from the local aluminum store, they cut the length according to the requirement.
I noticed you use copper plate between the cpu's and the aluminium radiator. Isn't that bad? Or are those radiators coated with something that can be used with copper?
aluminum is anodised
Could this also work with an old Macbook? Awesome projekt!
I believe it's possible for the Macbook

Hola me gusto el vídeo. Quiero saber como se llama el adaptador que usaste para conectar el disco duro.
SATA Data Power Extension Cable M / F
How about bigger diesel car aluminium radiator, aquarium pump and water cool banks on CPU and GPU/VRM? No fans.
this might sound weird, but I think you should start your own market (if you haven't already)
play it 2x speed... better music & faster construction... @FanlessGuy beautiful machine... great work
Where he is insert keyboard mouse monitor n power ?
Hey admin m trying to build ur Design but external keyboard is not working during the boot menu so i cant choose between win7 and win 10 to open. Only 1st option opening automatically. Plz help
Not 0 decibel, how about coilwine?
100C isn't high a little bit for a cpu core?
Learn proper english you twat
Didnt understand...Core temp was 81 or 100? And what temp was with fan? Higher or lower???
What is the thickness of the copper heat spreader?
the thickness of the heatspreader depends on the thickness of the motherboard, in my case 5mm
Where does he get the heat sinks?
His local aluminum store, it's in the video
@@janpul1590 what about the copper heat spreader!
The music alone is enough for me to stay for the rest of the vid
Now with engergy prices skyrocketing, powerconsumption of computers should become an issue ... ;)
how you slove the I/O board and power button?
the power button is original, it's shown in the video (2:58) : czcams.com/video/Oo4TIc_oZ4k/video.htmlm58s
*the copper radiator cost is like the whole laptop!)) --- бич.сборка*
Very good, but the cables os Very hard plug.
Do you have a link to the music on this?
youtube audio library - Baskets in the Sky - William Rosati
where do you get your heatsinks from?
for this project I bought a heatsink in the local aluminum store and it cost 9 USD without anodizing
Ok Question people. Is Copper thermal paste then Aluminum enough of a conductor for heat??? What if your using it a bit heavy than normal functions? Cause in my mind there's only Wind or liquid for Heat. Or because the size and shape of your Aluminum can take out heat kinda like a portable heater machine concept?? Anywayz, gd work!
