Turemetal is back on track

Turemetal magic?

We find it hard to believe but apparently Turemetal's UP3 heat sink case keeps the 125W Core Ultra 7 265K under 80°C under full load. The UP3 measures just 300 x 300 x 200mm and is designed to handle CPUs up to 70W TDP. Still a great-looking build, featuring the kind of thick 8mm heat pipes we'd love to see more often.

Turemetal SP7X available in Asia

Turemetal's new SP7X flagship fanless case could change everything. The relatively compact 336 x 267 x 184mm chassis supports Intel and AMD CPUs up to 125W, mini-ITX motherboards, a graphics card, and a standard ATX power supply. The 9.5kg aluminum case is now listed on Taobao for about $410. Hopefully, Turemetal will find distributors in the West soon. For further inquiries, please contact Mical Wong at market@turemetal.com

Custom Turemetal build

"This is the stock configuration. It's pretty effective already but, the heat-generating components on the motherboard other than the CPU are not directly connected to the case's heat sinks. It causes gradual rise in temperature in my use case. So I did a little DIY tweak."

i5-12500 Turemetal build

While not perfect, the Turemetal UP2 case brings something new to the table thanks to its innovative design featuring three cooling panels. The high-octane i5-12500 still reaches 92°C though. 35W CPUs are probably the way to go with this case.

Motherboard: Asus Pro H610T D4
Memory: Kingston Fury Impact 2 x 8 GB 3200 MHz CL 20 DDR4 SODIMM
Storage 1: Kingston NV1 1 TB NVMe 1.3
Storage 2: Leven JS300 2 TB SATA
Other: Thermalright LGA1700-BCF - Black
External Power: Dell LA180PM180 180W 19V AC-DC

Fanless X570 chipset

AMD's actively cooled X570 chipset is a nuisance to society and public health. Thankfully, the decade-old Thermalright HR-05 cooler is keeping the toasty little chip at bay in passive mode. This impressive build also features the 105W Ryzen 9 5950X, NVIDIA's Quadro P2200 graphics, and Turemetal's UP10 case.

Fanless RTX 3080

Turemetal's mastermind Mical Wong managed to passively-cool the high-octane GeForce RTX 3080 using the very heavy (and very expensive) UP10 chassis. The 320W graphics powerhouse is kept under 90°C thanks to a custom mounting solution. Probably not recommended but rather an indication of the case's potential.

Turemetal UP10 case review

"A passive design was required. I've done a few passive builds in the past, but the problem with most is the maximum dissipation capability is always measured in double digits... usually no more than 50W or so. So laptop components or NUCs or SBCs like a raspberry Pi have been the go to solution - but I would need multiples of those... which then becomes a different kind of administration headache. After some investigation, I found an enterprising individual in China who is working on creating solutions to this problem - and I knew I had to build my server in one of his cases. I was even more convinced after reading a review at Anandtech and seeing the monster build he sent to Linus of LTT (which is definitely beefier than what I'm building).

The Turemetal UP10 is not a cheap case by any means (it runs between $700-$1000 depending on options, shipped to US). It is also not a quick solution, with my lead time being about 7 weeks - including discussions with Mical Wong about configuration, etc. It's also about the farthest thing from lightweight... about 25lbs (before adding any hardware). This is definitely not a "my first build" kind of chassis... but it is very well made, and an amazing performer as well."

Ryzen 7 PRO 4750G gaming machine

A Chiphell member crammed the brand new Ryzen 7 PRO 4750G (an 8-core 16-thread powerhouse) into Turemetal's 2-liter (think Nintendo Wii console) DP2 case, and the result is predictable. After only 10 minutes of stress testing, temperature rose to a whopping 95°C.

The DP2 is a nifty little case with unique features like three cooling panels and four 8mm heat pipes but it still can't cope with a 65W AMD CPU. More than ever, we strongly advise owners of small cases like the DP2, the Akasa Euler or the Streacom FC8, to use 35W processors.

Turemetal's UP10 is available

Turemetal's flagship UP10 case is now available for an eye-watering $900. The 12kg behemoth is compatible with microATX, ATX and EATX motherboards, as well as SFX and ATX power supplies. Unlike the Streacom or HDPLEX cases, the 440 x 336 x 150mm chassis features a third cooling panel on the front, and no less than twenty 8mm copper heat pipes.

Custom EPYC build

This one is pretty insane. Check out this passively-cooled AMD EPYC 7551 / GeForce RTX 2070 duo inside Turemetal's UP10 case. We're very impressed by the custom mounting hardware, including a 2.5kg copper heat spreader for the 180W CPU.

Turemetal is coming to Europe

According to our friend Mical over at Turemetal, the entry-level DP2 case is going to be available in Europe soon. Featuring four 8mm heat pipes, the mini-ITX case handles 65W processors. In the US, the chassis is available exclusively from Fully Silent PCs for $380.
