KMPKT Heatsink Discussion

I wish it fitted an normal Intel motherboard. Then I could slam a quality noctua fan on it. If it outperforms NH- L12
I find it funny how at the beginning it looks like he actually has a plan. Then it turns out that plan was just part of his plan to look like he had a plan as he makes everything up along the wayon a scale of -10 to +10, how bothered would you be with this?
The result isn't even remotely close to the design he showed lolSo many things about that heatsink are terrible, but the only one that actually bothers me is the inconsistent spacing of the fins. And it really bothers me lol
Linus has absolutely nailed the concept of tech infotainment.
Of course how technical or entertaining he is up to the viewers’ interpretation .
Not a huge fan myself and definitely not a hater.
Regardless, what he has accomplished with his empire if you will is impressive and admirable.

im never sure what to think of most of linus' videos. they could have made and honest try at it and i would find it more entertaining.
also they bent the heatpipes. dont they know bent heatpipes makes for worse thermal conductivity from this thread. /s
Im def curious about what kind of innovation you guys have come up with and look forward to the next bit of info.

If this significantly out performs the l9i and fits on my asrock z370 board, I'll probably buy it as soon as you start selling it. Anything that will bring down temps on my toasty 8700k in my s4 mini is welcome I was going to try mounting a 120mm noctua fan on my l9i, but I can't on this board. I'm using tall ram, so the fan would have to be slightly over the io, but the io is too tall in a few places for the fan to fit.
Are you willing to give any info on how you expect VRM thermals/airflow to be? I assume you're carefully optimizing air flow through the heatsink for better cpu temps and I'm curious how you think that'll effect VRM thermals.
edit: granted the l9i doesn't do much to cool my VRM since it's parallel to the RAM and the main VRM. It only directly blows on the SOC VRM.

I am hopeful that airflow over the VRMs will be superior to conventional solutions.
Just waiting on an NDA to be returned from the person I found who has a solder oven. Things got delayed by family vacation and back to back weeks of 12 hour days.
Everyone knows asking over and over again makes it go faster. UPDATES???
a bit off topic: I learnt in the recent NFC stream that it's pronounced KoMPaKT,
(I'm so sorry (/)_(\ thank goodness I haven't used the name in speech)
not Kilometer Packet
Hahaha
I have no idea how to pronounce anything, I just kinda assumed it was compact and Craig never has corrected me. But he is Canadian, and thus very polite.

I said it as the letters K, M, P, K, T, for the longest time, and then, thanks to @Josh | NFC's stream, I started saying it Compact. @Kmpkt Please clarify?
It's meant to be "Compact" but K M P K T is fine also. Also just waiting on my engineer and the engineer with the solder oven to sort things. NDA has been taken care of.
