The $1 hack




The 10W TDP of the Celeron J4125 makes it an ideal candidate for passive cooling. This aging, fan-equipped mini PC gets a second life by replacing its active cooler with a single, carefully positioned $1 aluminum heatsink. Thermal performance is uncompromised, matching the original fan-cooled setup with temperatures of 50°C at idle, and a peak of 80°C under full load. Plus, the mini PC looks menacing and more interesting now.
