I have had a fanless desktop for 3 years now, it's a Core i7 
3770k. Dunno what the power draw is, but for passive cooling I 
went for

1. A specical, very well ventilated case.
2. A massive passive CPU cooler.
3. A fanless power supply.
4. A fanless graphics card (that can still drive 3x1200p monitors 
for desktop use, a SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 6450)

Most of the stuff came from here https://www.quietpc.com/

The thing to watch out for is that these passive CPU coolers are 
huge, so you have to be sure they will fit in your case.

Currently thinking of upgrading the graphics card to one that can 
drive a 4k monitor, or two ... :-)
