I'm planning on building a new machine in the near future and am looking at the Asus AM2 motherboards. All of these motherboards have "fanless design." This confuses the crap out of me, because I have no idea how literally this phrase should be taken and/or what types of fans I need to purchase for the machine.
CPU Fan/Heatsink?
Case fans?
If anyone owns one of these fanless design boards (doesn't have to be AM2 socket), would you be willing to comment on how well the motherboard cooling performs?
I did searches here for "fanless design" and "passive cooling" but was unable to find anything relevant. I apologize if this has been addressed before.
Thanks.
