The mCubed HFX®
classic is equipped with huge aluminium heatsinks on each side of the chassis.
Like with high performance power amplifiers the heat will be dissipated over the
heatsinks via natural air convection. The vertical heatsinks have a special
rippled surface to enforce the convection. The two main heat sources in a PC are
the power supply and the processor. The passive cooled power supply will be
mounted directly to the left heatsink. The heat of the processor will be
transferred with heatpipes to the right heatsink. VGA and bridge can also be
cooled with heatpipes.
While ATX standard is based on active cooling with cold air coming from the
front and warm air going out in the back, the HFX is based on natural air
convection. This means that cool air is coming from the bottom and warm air is
going up to the top. Therefore the mCubed HFX® classic provides a lot
of air holes on the bottom and 3 huges venting holes on the top cover. For
safety reasons a 92mm safety fan can be added underneath the right venting hole.
