CPU Low Profile CPU Cooler round up

[Broxin]

Whats the difference between the fans noctua a8 and a9?

The lp53 was tested before with a9 and a8 but now it appears the measurement of the a9 was removed?

I have the a9 on the lp53 on a 8700k

I chose the non 2.5W version because at 100% cpu the temps are ok for me with the auto rpm regulation of the mainboard, as the 2.5w version was way louder overall over 2000rpm and i dont need the extra 500 rpm

@23571113 it takes a LOT of work to make that comparison like you want it. I did that with 1070 cards with audiofiles, rpm's, different positions, dimensionmeasurements and and and and.

It is very tedious, it is fun but at the end of the day you dont even know how much people you helped with that and if you time would not be better spent at something different.

I would say you have to be thankfull for ANY comparison someone makes in his free time.

Yeah, dimensions and loudness would be great, but im happy that we have what we have.

Thanks to all that are involved

Anyone know anything about the ID-Cooling IS-40X?

I posted it up on my Chopin cooler thread. But, I haven't been able to find any direct reviews on it. Would love to see how it compares to the C7 and Noctua L9

i'm almost certain that the is40x is just a painted is40v3, which was reviewed by sffnetwork last year.

it has also been reviewed by @IntoxicatedPuma for his sff cpu cooler roundup.

Alright thanks. When I found the 40X is was unaware Id-Cooling had a 45mm tall cooler.
It's actually rather impressive. Matching the C7. But a few mm shorter. This might be a perfect little cooler for the Chopin case.

Has anyone seen the Netflix series Maniac with Emma Stone and Jonah Hill?

In one of the episodes Jonah's wearing what appears to be a pair of ID Cooling IS-40 as some form of sci-fi brain scanning headphones.

Found it.

I wonder how much cooler his brain runs with dual coolers.

Probably not much, doesn't look like there's any fans installed so he's not getting any airflow

 

[VegetableStu]

maybe he's not thinking hard enough to fully saturate the heatsink? o_o
(I haven't watched the show to know whether to stop myself from posting this joke ,_,)

Anyone noticed the great performance of the 31mm Scythe S950M, especially on 4Ghz OC?
Can it be thanks to the exhaust fan instead of intake?

 

[miptzi]

did the xigmatek prodigy ST1266 ever reached reteilers ? Saw the the launch, then absolute radio silence...
would it compare to the Janus... ?

I haven't seen anyone review the ID Cooling IS-30. It would be nice if we FINALLY had a replacement for the CNPS2X for CPU coolers at or under 30mm height.

There is the Scythe s950m (31mm), I have one cooling an i5-8400, payed only 13$ on Joybuy.

looks like an intel stock cooler clone, i'd prefer something with heatpipes instead of just a copper slug.

look at this results.

 

[Sean Crees]

look at this results.

Looks like the Thermolab ITX30 edges it out slightly. Also i'm working with really tight tolerances, i can't fit a 31mm tall CPU cooler, 30mm max and that's going to be right up against the vents.

Look at 95W results...

 

[Sean Crees]

Yea i saw em. Again, i can't fit an extra 1mm. So for coolers that are ACTUALLY 30mm or lower, the ITX30 looks like it's the best.

If only Zalman could make a larger CNPS2X...

 

[Vlad502]

There is CNPS2XL at Computex 2019
Hope L means "large" not "lite", but maybe is the second while looking AMD mounting bracket

An Early Look At Cooler Master's New Thermal Solutions

Today, I got an early look at what Cooler Master is doing for their thermal solutions and they look amazing.

wccftech.com

Computex 2019 – CoolerMaster – SFF.Network

smallformfactor.net

Coolermaster has the G200P and the G400P, 39.5 mm and 58mm respectively, launching in August (supposedly). The G400P has 4 heatpipes and would be more interesting if they only shaved a few more mm's off. I can't tell the size of the fan; if it's 15mm width, then a 10mm fan would drop the height to 52mm. Certainly something to keep an eye on.

The G200P looks like a direct competitor to Noctua's L9i with 2 heatpipes and sub 40mm.
