CPU Low Profile CPU Cooler round up

[IntoxicatedPuma]

Whoa, that layout looks exactly like titan's one! Along with 46mm height and 130W max TDP it seems to be a Titan's twin!

Check out the model number in the upper left corner, I'm 99% certain it is the exact same cooler.

Any chance to put ID Cooling IS40 v3 in your comparison?

It's already in the comparison

It's already in the comparison

Now that I double check it..

The ID Cooling IS40 V3 appears in the 4.0 Ghz section, but doesn't appear in the 3.5 Ghz section?

Its in both, but the placement may be different

Errr.. this is what I got:

 

[IntoxicatedPuma]

Seems its missing lots of labels, are you viewing on a phone?

It should appear like this:

 

[VegetableStu]

yeah the phone side's pretty buggy. changing between clockspped tabs does nothing for me ._.

No, I was viewing on desktop browsers.

On Firefox & Google Chrome, both were missing some coolers on the 3.5 Ghz

It does nothing on Desktop too right now, I'll update it in an hour or so.

edit:

I updated the sheet so it has more room to display, I also condensed the two graphs into one with 3 tabs. Other info is updated in the OP.

Awesome job so far @IntoxicatedPuma !

This round up will help the sff community a lot, keep it up

 

[firewolfy]

Are you planning to test larger footprint coolers like the Big Shuriken2, NH-L12(s) and AXP-100 that are still short enough for sff?

Edit -- They might be more competitive with coolers like the nh-L9x65.

 

[CC Ricers]

Damn, I may just buy the Scythe Jitte from English Taobao and sell my Noctua.

 

[ignsvn]

Suggestion: RPM and/or acoustic information of the fans would be helpful as it provides a rather absolute comparison value compared to RPM percentage.

 

[ignsvn]

@IntoxicatedPuma , in this post you mentioned that the ID Cooling IS-40 V3 was still the king of low profile coolers. What's your opinion after seeing these test data that you have? (At a glance the Scythe Jitte looks better, perhaps I'm missing something?)

Btw thanks for fixing, the graphs look OK now.

 

[IntoxicatedPuma]

I'd have to change my mind and say it is definitely not the king. My previous testing was done with a G3258 and it seems the results have changed with the i5 4690k. I'm thinking to disable two cores on the 4690k and see what kind of results I get because they are definitely different from what I got before. I am also curious to see if the 8700k has a difference vs the 4690k. I would say the Scythe Jitte is definitely a top contender (the buzzing fans are still annoying), but the C7 is also in a good spot. The Thermolab's performance as stock was a bit disappointing but with the Noctua fans it seems to do better.

 

[firewolfy]

What version of Prime95 are you using? v26.6?

 

[ignsvn]

So based on the charts, it seems that the top contenders for +- 45mm-tall CPU cooler are still the usual suspects: Cryorig C7, ID Cooling IS-40 V3, Thermolab LP53, as well as the newcomer Scythe Jitte.

28.7 or newer, I can't remember exactly which one.

That would sound about right. The NH-L9i with a NF-A9 fan would also technically fit into this category, but you can see on the results it's trailing the others by a fair margin.

 

[VegetableStu]

then again an L9i and the Delta 92mm jet turbine would fit too...
