You aren't the only one that likes heatsinks!

You sir, are a heatsinker

I've high hopes for this thingy.
If it works better (or atleast quieter) then the mxm cooler on the deskmini it Will change my next rig a lot.

The best part of your collection is the hacks and combos...oh the pursuit of ITX cooling!

Trying to live up to my name.

Hope to see how well this cooler does.

Bit of an update on why this project has been lagging over here:

Best of luck to you, I am still looking forward to this project

After seeing the compatibility issues the Black Ridge is having on the AM4 platform, I started looking around for an alternative. That lead me to this thread.....

I hope that you are doing well and are in a place to make some progress on this cooler. I'm looking to start a new build in 2019 and would love to be a kick-start backer to a SFF cooler.

Looks like the guy I have asked to do the soldering for the prototype has lost interest and I am back to the drawing board in terms of finding an engineering firm that can put this together for me. If anyone has a contact with these sorts of capabilities in North America, let me know please.

I have no experience in this field, but this is a hobby and I do like to read a lot. I came across this company that might meet your needs.

Contact CoolJag

Thanks Dondan. Also tried Celsia and they only do large scale industrial contracts

That's a bummer. Did they give you a minimum number? If we can reach a kick-starter goal of 500 of your heatsinks world-wide, would that be enough? 1000?

A good thought but I think the current problem is the proto. I wonder if they would wrap all of that up into one package, prototyping and manufacture? I wonder if there have been business projections similar to what you're suggesting, i.e. "I expect x number of units to sell, therefore xyz, abc"

 

[dondan]

CoolJag MOQ is 1000 units. But they can make cheap prototypes if they see a business case.

 

[Kmpkt]

Awesome. MOQ 1000 isn't an issue most likely (depending on per unit cost).

Hey just checking to see if you made any progress finding someone to make a prototype!
