Wonder how the Baram running passive will cope with that! :D

I'm interested too - as i'm doing an i7 build (for a friend) who wants a silent machine without the use of water (luckily he doesn't need an uber gfx card). I was leaning towards an H50 or a 7v fan mod - but if chippy gets some promising results i may deduct the HS fans from his shopping list and opt for a completely passively cooled system.

Apart that is for a 7v outtake fan... and an intake if required :/

Chippy, if and when you do this, would you mind giving me the details of your case, fans and their respective orientation please - plus those all important temps?
 
I got a Sempron 140 45w powered by an asus am2+ nvidia 8200 board, 4gb ram (it was cheap in sept)

The sempron idles at 20 degrees and handles mkv, blu-ray and iplayer HD great.

I went with the nvidia 8200 am2+ instead of 785G because I think the 785G still cannot do 7.1 HD audio properly
