THE BEAST! 3080 Ti / 5950X system - no FANS!

We were sent a sample of 'THE BEAST' from MonsterLabo. A completely custom, passive system (yes, not a single fan) featuring a 5950X AMD processor and a 3080 Ti graphics card. James, our modder, takes a close up look at it and gives his thoughts on the implementation, the build quality. and the performance. How does it compare against a similarly spec'd system with fans? 00:00 Start 00:15 MonsterLabo - The Beast, details and pricing 04:57 Two complete system options 06:00 what do you get for 790 euros? 10:00 powder coating concerns 11:09 It's not a normal rear I/O setup 12:05 3.5 and 2.5 inch drive install 12:58 Custom build - an overview 15:16 Passive mode and assisted airflow mode 16:08 Comparison system that James built 16:33 Testing The Beast 23:17 Cinebench scores and analysis 24:44 Time Spy extreme benchmark test analysis 25:57 Time Spy extreme stress test analysis 29:54 88% result - not passed 30:37 Further analysis 31:55 System under CPU and GPU load 34:17 Temp analysis and discussion 36:12 Putting fans into the mix ? 38:41 James closing thoughts What is it? • Silent PC chassis - paired with a fanless power supply you can build a PC system with no moving parts. • Includes two giant heatsinks with 10 x 6mm copper heat pipes on each heatsink • 6 copper thermal drains connect the heatsinks to the chassis front and rear 6mm thick aluminium panels for additional heat spreading. • Due to its innovative mounting system, The Beast is compatible with most motherboards from mini-ITX up to ATX form factor. • Graphics cards up to 290mm long with the stock cooler removed are compatible. • The Beast is capable of dissipating 400W of heat in passive mode (150W CPU and 250W GPU) In active mode it can handle 600W heat dissipation. • MonsterLabo has collaborated with EKWB to design a VRM and memory heat spreader for graphics cards with higher than 220W TDP rating, the heat spreader is also compatible with EKWB passive backplates. • Front panel I/O 3.5mm audio and mic jacks, 1 x USB Type-C, 2 x USB 2.0 Type-A and 2xUSB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-A. • PCIe 4.0 Riser cable also included. • Price - €790 • + €100 for a special colour • + €300 for assembly Also available as complete systems: • Two to choose from • Extremely Fanless - RTX 3070 and AMD Ryzen 5 5600X or Intel Core i5-12600K - €2,850 • Insane – Zotac RTX 3080 Trinity and AMD Ryzen 9 5900X or Intel Core i9 12900K - €3,600 Our Beast Sample Specification: Processor: AMD Ryzen 9 5950X Motherboard: ASUS TUF Gaming B550M-Plus Memory: 64GB G.Skill Trident Z RGB DDR4 Storage: Western Digital Black SN850 1TB NVMe M.2 SSD Graphics card: Zotac GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Trinity + EKWB backplate + full covering spreader PSU: Seasonic Prime TX-700W Fanless OS: Windows 10 Comparison System Specification: CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5950X Motherboard: Gigabyte X570 Aorus Xtreme Memory: 32GB kit (4 x 8GB Modules) PNY XLR8 Epic-X DDR4-3200 C16 Graphics: Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Founders Edition 1st Storage Device: 1TB PNY XLR8 CS3040 PCIe Gen4 M.2 NVME SSD 2nd Storage Device: 4TB Samsung QVO 2.5” SATA SSD CPU Cooler: NZXT Kraken X73 Power Supply: Seasonic TX-1000 80+ Titanium 1000W Case: Corsair 5000D Airflow Black Fans: 7 x be quiet!
