at Computex 2019 Noctua is showing off a prototype fanless heatsink which it claims can passively cool an Intel Core i9-9900K. That's an eight-core processor running at up to 5GHz with a TDP of 95 watts. Noctua tested its new heatsink by using it to cool a 9900K in the hot conditions of the Computex show floor for several hours. Apparently it happily sat at 95 degrees throughout.

AWESOME !!!!!!! that we see progress in that direction ! So hopeful soon we can build a high performance passive cooled customMac :)
Now we only need a chimney-type (Intake bottom, outtake top, sides sealed ) housing and we can build the perfect high performance passive cooled customMac. (Separate heat zones for cpu / psu / gpu might be a good idea to separate the airflow)
