THE BEAST! 3080 Ti / 5950X system - no FANS!

We were sent a sample of 'THE BEAST' from MonsterLabo. A completely custom, passive system (yes, not a single fan) featuring a 5950X AMD processor and a 3080 Ti graphics card. James, our modder, takes a close up look at it and gives his thoughts on the implementation, the build quality. and the performance. How does it compare against a similarly spec'd system with fans?
