MonsterLabo Plays Flight Simulator with The Beast, Achieves Fully-Fanless Gaming Experience
MonsterLabo, the maker of fanless PC cases designed for gaming with zero noise, has today tested its upcoming flagship offering in the case lineup. Called The Beast, the case is designed to handle high-end hardware with large TDPs and dissipate all that heat without any moving parts. Using only big heatsinks and heat pipes to transfer the heat to the big heatsink area. In a completely fanless configuration, the case can absorb and dissipate a CPU TDP of 150 Watts and a GPU TPD with 250 Watts. However, when equipped with two 140 mm fans running below 500 RPM, it can accommodate a 250 W CPU, and 320 W GPU. MonsterLabo has tested the fully fanless configuration, which was equipped with AMD Ryzen 7 3800XT processor, paired with NVIDIA's latest GeForce RTX 3080 Ampere graphics card.
There were no fans present in the system to help move the heat away, and the PC was being stress-tested using Microsoft's Flight Simulator. The company has posted a chart of CPU and GPU temperatures over time, where we see that the GPU has managed to hit about 75 degrees Celsius at one point. The CPU has remained a bit cooler, where the CPU package hit just above the 70-degree mark. Overall, the case is more than capable of cooling the hardware it was equipped with. By adding two slow-spinning fans, the temperatures would get even lower, however, that is no longer a fanless system. MonsterLabo's The Beast is expected to get shipped in Q3 of this year when reviewers will get their hands on it and test it for themselves. You can watch the videos in MonsterLabo's blog post here.

Nonetheless this is impressive for the hardware it has and being used to Nofan being the go-to for these setups, or having to resort to lower wattage parts, this is a good step in the absolute silent direction!
@AleksandarK Minor observation ;) : the chart tops at 80ºC, so the card actually reached around 75ºC. (which makes it very impressive!)
EDIT: Saw the video and the gpu didn't trigger the limiter due to temperature, that's fantastic! The insides are not shown...HUMBUG!!
That thing is MASSIVE!! o_O
But yeah, don't plan on a passively cooled case if you can't provide a reasonably cool environment for it. That's pretty much a given.
