Does this thing have a fan? If its solid state, a descent design would use heat sinks.

It does have a fan, which is very quiet. This fridge can be used to make contents either hot or cold.

Remember it's a "fan" not an air conditioner. Cooling is from air motion alone.

It doesn't have a fan but with a 2.5 hard drive that I use in it I haven't had any over heating issues, I also believe that without a full incloser it gives it room to cool.

It does come with a fan. The processor installs into a motherboard, and above it the cooling unit will install above it. I have this processor and can confirm the attached fan is sufficient for keeping the processor cool.

The fans are for the interior of the box and not made for a heat sink fan for the CPU/"Chip". You should check with the AMD site to see what is the optimal heat sink for the chip that you have. If it needs a large one with a fan, then make sure you have a power supply that can handle the load. Hope this helps - Ken

There is one included with the cpu. Remember its a stock fan there are better fans out there.

Yes...If it's described as a retail processor it comes with a heat sink fan.

I would say yes. As long as air is getting to the heatsink, I think it would work fine without the fan.

Haha, make sure the curiosity doesn't get the better of you and make you open it up for a tour. I am also wondering how its managing heat. My guess is the traditional copper piping with aluminum "fin" style heatsink attached behind the LED chips with the fans blowing across.

I would not use this for what you have in mind, it would over heat you need to find one that has a large heat sink with a fan.

It does not have fan slots. It does contain a fan for the hard drive bay and the big fan over the board. It's open frame design lends itself to not needing more

Mine went into a desktop i.e. a place with plenty of room for the heat-sink and fan for ventilation and cooling. Not having built a laptop, I don't know if the cpu makers provide special/different cpu's for laptop use ... or if the laptop makers simply design their own ventilation approaches. My guess is that latter.

Yes, it has no fans. I just would highly advise you use something else because the glacial performance that the Drobo software imposes on the system. Four SSD's in the Mini array are slower than a single SSD connected via thunderbolt

No, it doesn't have a fan. It works like the rods but seems to put out more heat.

Yes, it has a fan. It is about equivilent to a fan in a computer desktop case.

It comes with a heatsink/fan with thermal paste already on it. Just place the fan assembly on top of the microprocessor and hook the 4 hold owns to your motherboard.

Yes, the heat sink already attached to the processor which is installed on the motherboard. The only things you are required to purchase are a hard drive, ram and I would optionally purchase an inline slot fan card. I find that it makes thing run smoother.
