THIS HEATSINK IS OVER FORTY POUNDS!

This Computex 2017 segment showcases Calyos latest fully passive PC case, the NSG S0, presented in the Seasonic booth. The host emphasizes that the system runs without traditional fans, relying on two large radiators and natural convection to cool both the GPU and CPU while maintaining ultra-quiet operation. The design is described as a rugged, industrial, all-aluminum enclosure with a large front radiator for GPU cooling and a bottom section housing I/O and drive bays, plus an option to add 120mm fans for higher performance. The host notes significant design improvements from prior iterations, including a more open I/O layout and tempered glass covers, which improve accessibility and aesthetics without compromising cooling. He highlights the hardware pairing of a high-end CPU and GPU, the 6950X and 1080 Ti, cooled passively, and explains that the system only makes a little boiling noise due to the passive cooling loop, as the coolant moves by natural convection. Finally, the host addresses cost, estimating around 600 euros, and puts this price in perspective against the premium all-aluminum, tempered-glass case with water cooling-grade cooling for GPU and CPU, concluding that the concept offers compelling value for a high-end, silent build. The video closes with sponsor mentions for Corsair One and Synergy, and a call to action to subscribe for more Computex 2017 content.
