I'm putting together a Dan A4 build to reduce some weight when I'm traveling. I have a few different cooling options available to me right now, including the Asetek 645LT, an NH-L9i, and a IS-47K.
Noctua recently released a fan ducting kit (nice foam) for the NH-L9i/L9a to be ducted to the vents of SFF cases (neat!) and I'm looking to buy it. Do you think that it would beat putting a NF-A9x14 on the IS-47K or a 645LT?
I'm leery that the 645LT being mounted with radiator on bottom and pump/block combo would be conducive to portability considering bubble potential. I am also wondering if an L9i is at it's maximum if challenged by a i5-11400 or i5-11600K (I have both), and all reviews I've found for the IS-47K don't seem to make it look like it's much better, either.
