The case has an opening for a vertical fan but it is not needed unless you do heavy gaming and run a high end GPU. For video rendering and other tasks the fins are rated to keep it at a decent temp.
I have good hearing, and a HDD spinning or even a “silent” fan is still audible droning noise to me.
This build is totally silent. The PSU is over-rated on purpose because it has a below 30% max draw mode that is fanless.
So this case makes 0 noise.

I had a roommate who was getting his doctorate in chemical engineering, specifically focused on graphene. He was able to demonstrate how doping the materials in a heat sink to alter their ability to “release” heat, and then organizing these intentional hotspots along the length of the fins, you could create an active airflow using a stationary object.
But then his lab manager killed his grant and instead put him on a project partnered with BMW to make their bumpers more marketable.

Really makes you wonder how many revolutionary ideas have fallen through the cracks because of moron management

Many folks in higher education in the UK have been bemoaning a generation of genii lost to business and the City who put their talents and creativity to the good of making profit rather than inventing and humanity.
Many more have their funding and direction tilted to capital, too.
