ASUS reveals four new passively cooled X570 Ryzen motherboards

Isn't the X570 chipset for Ryzen CPUs though? Not sure where you got 11th Gen from? :huh: ...

Yes, you are right, I meant Ryzen, but for some reason Intel popped into my head too.
I was basically commenting on small cases with low rad space.

I disagree, I’ve personally built in small cases such as the Dan A4 SFX, which is amongst the smallest out there and haven’t had any issues. Youtuber OptimumTech does SFF builds in many small cases and haven’t had issues either :)

Of course you won't have issues. Otherwise cases would need a mass recall. I havent had an ITX but for me, I prefer having a case where case temperature inside are close to ambient temps as possible. Not a hot box that could warm my feet if I wanted.

I had the Air540 once upon a time. And even watercooled, it still seemed way too warm for my liking.
 
Shame it's only ATX boards, no ITX ones, which is an platform that is growing a lot.

Running my Asrock X570 ITX/TB3 chipset passively since 2019 (disconnected the fan).
Also running the VRM's passively.
Started with 3950x and now on a 5950x.

Just a marketing gimmick which OC3D should mention in the thread title, don't be taken in by it !!!!!!!!
