and if at any point you had to disconnect your fans for cleaning do not forget to connect them back in. the fans are not optional components. modern PCs and laptops will straight up refuse to turn on if they can’t detect the fans
Apple have a long history of making computers that rely on passive cooling. The Power Mac G4 Cube is the prettiest example, though to be fair it was not a good computer, with many people retro fitting fans into them later.

Meanwhile, my laptop has no fans.
could you elaborate? i don’t think current technology with more computational power than a phone can survive without fans
I have an M2 Macbook Air, which ironically has nothing to move the air about.
It gets a bit warm if I play any reasonably demanding games on it, but it’s never thrown up any overheating warnings.
huh! interesting
