Cooling 140 Watt TDP LP Coolers

[HeroXLazer]

Are there any LP 140 Watt TDP coolers?

What is the maximum cooler height allowed in your case ?

Dynatron T318 comes to mind. What specifically are you trying to cool?

Debating between 6850K/6950X

Don't know, this is what's deciding the height. Custom Case.

6850K or 6950X

I think I found one - http://www.dynatron-corp.com/?product=r25-2

43 dBA @50% duty, rising to almost 60 @100%..........not going to be a quiet one. Then again sounds like a probable gaming set up rather than HTPC going on CPU choice.

Practically anything will cool 140W if you jam enough airflow through it. The question is, are you deaf, or eager to become so? Do you live alone? Hate your neighbors? If not, then you may want to reconsider trying to dissipate that much heat with a tiny heatsink.

Are you planning on using on of the AsRock mITX 2011 boards or something different?

Yeah these Dynatron's were what was available back when I was starting to do "nano" ITX builds in 2009. They do solve the heat problem, but they do so sounding like a Harrier vertical takeoff.


It's OK for LAN events though, where you won't hear your system over the sound of 100 other overkill systems.

Watercooling not an option?

This is what Dan is recommending to go with in A4 builds involving Narrow ILM boards. Seems reasonable to me.

What about top down coolers?

One other thing to consider is waiting for Zen if you're not in a massive hurry. They're basically telling us that their Zen can match the 6900K for performance at 95W TDP. This would open up a LOT of much better cooling options for you presumably.
