Unless it’s an Intel T model. I’ve built plenty of HTPCs and mini-PCs using passive coolers on them. Those are great.

    You don't even need a T model for that. You can take a higher powered model and manually set the power limits to what the T model would use. This doesn't even come with that big of a performance hit either - for all the power Intel dumps into the K models, it's only gaining them a few percent in additional performance.
