Prototype DAN HSLP-48: A powerful sub 50mm heatsink

[Kmpkt]

I wouldn't count on LCP tech making it to the bulk of Noctua's fans in the near future (which is terribly unfortunate).

 

[jeshikat]

I think it's fine. As die-hard their fanboys can be, I don't think Noctua could sustain a 50% price increase across the board.

I believe @grumpyrobin is talking about the still in development next-gen NF-A12 with the Liquid Crystal Polymer blades, which allow an extremely tight tolerance /clearance to the fan housing...

The NF-A12x15 is available now, but that does not use the LCP tech...

Ah, I misunderstood the lcp tech then.
I was under the impression that the new fans all used it!

Look'n good!

I would be more than happy to pay a premium on any Noctua fan (or fan & heatsink combo) I bought if it had three things...

LCP tech
Black, or black & grey fans & housings...
Black fully sleeved cables

Ditto on that

 

[Curiosity]

Noctuas fans do come sleeves on black already, so you mean you want the wires black too?

That would be nice...

Nothing worse than those multi-colored wires showing when running those final few inches from the edge of the fan housing to the fan hub,,,

You could try dying, sharpie-ing, or painting them.
At least they use blue and green instead of red and yellow.

I ust learned of this project. If this cooler existed I would almost certainly get it for the Zaber Sentry.

Awesome stuff Dan,

Looking forward to a temp comparison between your cooler and the noctua NH-L9i

 

[Mac_nuggets]

It looks "cool"...

I will just go home now...

 

[Phuncz]

[lac29]

This except coffee and creme color scheme.


@dondan your renders make me drool. Actually literally this time. It was embarrassing, but then I was consoled that noone would know. So then I told everyone on a public forum about it.

Heh, the renders are indeed beautiful!
With what software are they produced?

Is it that simple, drawing a design, sending it to Lian-Li and getting a sample from it?!
Are you able to do that thanks to your connection with them with the A4 SFX case project?
Should I ask you how much such a sample costs?

 

[loader963]

The better question is what is dan gonna charge us?

 

[Mac_nuggets]

Any updates on when you will receive the prototype?

 

[gffermari]

Any updates? My 4770K is hot like hell.
Should i wait or pull the trigger for a C7?
