@Thehack If you order those, do you have a vague timing for it ?
Would totally be interested in a proper big shuriken 2 rev b am4 mount. I'd take measurements but that mean I have to undo my noctua bracket Jerry rig and be without a heatsink
Thanks for the answer ! I'll go ghetto-mod in the meantime, wish me luckDEC/JAN time frame is what I'm looking at. I'll have to double check the details and place an order in a few weeks.
There is still some cases where 48mm is too much, as in my case with the M350 (44mm free space, and even 40mm max with fan on top of the cooler if you don't want to have the fan making awful noises from the proximity with the top of the case). But it would be totally understandable not to do it anymore for such a niche marketWith the release of the Black Ridge cooler at 48mm, do you guys see a purpose of this anymore? at 48mm, it comes with AM4 support out of the box. It is also only 61mm if you use a slim fan on top, making it very close to the Big Shuriken 2.
i'll get working on that them![]()

Alright. I'll get a small batch made and see how that goes. I'll place the order in the next batch of stuff.

Btw here are some results of the Black Ridge made on an erlay sample I god month ago from EKL:
L9i @ 2400rpm = 63°C
Black Ridge (default 92mm fan) @ 2400rpm =61°C
Black Ridge + A12x15 (120mm fan under fin package) @1800rpm = 52°C
Black Ridge + A12x15 (120mm fan above fin package) @1800rpm = 50°C
Just so I am being accurate, below is the quote from Dan. Hopefully he doesn't mind me putting it over here. The performance with vlp looks very good, but I calculated for me to get decent vlp for ryzen, it is $US 240, not even counting shipping to Aus. I'd be curious to see how a C7 would perform with the better mount, plus a duct and a noctua a9x14. Maybe the LP53 too, if the cost is worth the performance.
I would say it may not be worth it for a C7 in a Dancase, since the issue is that it is too close to the side panel.
What case do you have?

Do you think it is worth it for an l9a? I am tossing up between the l9a and the C7 for a 2600.
I ran a 2600 just fine in the S4 mini with the L9a. I also tried the C7 in a Node 202 and found the fan to be unpleasantly loud.
Right now the L9a or i is tough to beat for low profile cooling.
I've ordered a set of C7 brackets.
I need to test how it fits first. And see if there is enough interest in putting a large order.
Big shuriken 2 is in the works if the C7 version sells.
Cheers for the update @Thehack I am inspired by your Skyreach build, and am actually doing a build soon with a 2600x and L9a. Did you notice much of an improvement with the Ty-100? Also, looking at your Skyreach build, do you think the L9a would fit on AM4 when mounted differently? Judging by the ty-100 it looks like it might not?
