What is a modern cpu that you can run on full load 24/24 fanless and with least power draw?
I'm looking to use it without any fans.
Performance is not that much needed, only quiet and no big watts drawn :)

Raspberry Pi's fit this bill.

A bunch of amds lineup can meet this bill, or close to it. Depends on if you need to ramp up. If no, a pi seems fine.

A raspberry pi with a big heatsink should be able to run at full throttle, depending on other environmental factors.

You would be looking at either:

  • A raspberry pi with a big slab of metal attached as a heat sink.

  • An Intel N100/N150 system in a fan less case.
