Streacom has unveiled its SG10 passive-cooled PC case with up to 600W cooling power and is hitting retail next year for $1320 US.
We first got a look at the Streacom SG10 PC case during Computex 2023 where both aluminum and copper variants were displayed. The company had a prototype unit running an Intel i9-13900K and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 which was cooled by an evaporator+condenser combo.
So you might wonder what form of thermal dissipation this case employs since it can't support any fan-based cooling. Well, Streacom has integrated a Loop Heat Pipe (LHP) system inside, and this is how the company has described the whole mechanism:
Unlike traditional heat pipes, where the phase change of the working fluid happens in opposing directions within the tube, the LHP phase change cycle happens in a continuous flow around the loop.
The core technology that makes this possible is the Evaporator; it features a patented solid-state (no moving parts) capillary pump that creates a pressurised vapour flow into the condenser, where it cools back into a liquid and then flows to the evaporator, where the cycle repeats. This pressurised flow makes the LHP many times more efficient at moving heat away from the source and allows for a greater working area for convection/radiation.

Now for the internal cooling, the Streacom SG10 comes with the principle of ‘the case is the cooler', since the design of the case is tuned in a way that every element of the cooling principles, starting from the heat dissipation to managing airflow, is controlled inside the case. With two condensers on each side, they are coupled up with a horizontally orientated heat sink, where a larger portion of it takes in fresh air, and supports the circulation,
