Any cooler that has back-mount installation won't support that TR adapter.

Happy this thread is here because I'm starting in on a little personal project with a Thin ITX board (ASRock AM4) but having trouble finding a good looking case that can fit a low profile air cooler (30mm to 38mm). We have a DB1 Max in the office here but its passive system is an absolute...

I can confirm this. Like a lot of low profile cooler manufacturers, this would need retooling of the cooler itself. Its also why some (ID Cooling for example) are taking the opportunity to roll out AM5 compatible coolers like the IS-55 that have the necessary mounts while also improving the...

Better late than never with my response. ;) This was a fun one but also a bit of a PITA since a lot of the coolers basically sold out right after the video was posted.

Thanks! I think on of the main concerns about this one is the fact the included fan is quite lacking. For the North American market that's an issue since when you factor in the shipping costs alongside the Noctua (or other) fan, it gets quite expensive.

Glad you enjoyed! - Mike

Thanks for the feedback! So a few things: AXP-90 X53 is certainly a possibility BUT impossible to find it in or shipped to Canada in under a month. Unless there's something I'm missing Big Shuriken 3 I'm going to skip since the Rev.B is coming as well alongside a new Fuma and Mugen. :)

I'm reaching out to the community for a bit of assistance on my next roundup video. Its the follow up to this one: https://smallformfactor.net/forum/threads/hardware-canucks-reviews-low-profile-sff-coolers.17388/#post-262105 In the next phase I want to look at air coolers between the heights...

The Cooler Master highlights everything wrong with their approach to air cooling: they reuse an old design, rebrand it over and over again and hope for the best.

Thanks for everyone's feedback. The biggest challenge facing this video was one a lot of you can probably understand: a lack of stock or availability in North America. The Black Ridge arrived only after the video was complete and its getting a separate piece sometime in the next week or so...

Its so fully you should say that since I'm actually working on a part of that cooler series for the SFF community right now. One of the main challenges continues to be finding a lot of the coolers in Canada or even shipped up from the States with them getting lost in some customs black hole...

Have any suggestions? Navigating AliExpress is like running around blind in a minefield. If there's been some interest in some particular cases, we might be willing to get them out! I've actually been reading it for the last year or so. :)

Hey everyone. Long time lurker, first time poster. Mike here, owner & Editor in Chief of Hardware Canucks. I'm thinking some of you may have seen my passive ITX and Sentry build update recently. Anyways, long story short, I've decided to finally start posting here (no video spam...
