Btw, there is a version of this cpu cooler on Taobao that is graphene coated. Here is the link.
They claim to give 30% better temps, but I really doubt it lol. Maybe some small improvement over the stock unit.
Anyway, seems very interesting, chinese market is just crazy

Single fan is on par with the C7 if you don't mind noise. The LP53 didnt perform well from what ive seen unfortunately. Sorry for the delays just been caught up with stuff. I bought a new CPU (4690k) to do the testing with so I'm going to run it again in the next few weeks.
From what I read online, this is a very new application and just started being used in the last 2-3 years in a few specific applications. Alot of academic articles were written last fall from MIT and other schools, so I think we will see it alot in the coming years. Several specifically mentioned that it would be great as a TIM for processors. I'm skeptical that it will make a noticeable difference when used as a coating on a radiator however.
Not sure my math is correct
If CPU is 90°C with uncoated heatsink, then 30% better temps should be 70°C (9000/130)
10°C better temps (65°C vs 75°C) is 15% better (7500/65)

I don't think this is an accurate way of calculating temperature improvements; you get different results if you do this in Kelvin or Fahrenheit.
Guys, I wasn't saying 10 degree = 30% improvement. I just said that the seller claims 10 degree improvement on some links, and 30% on others.
Anyway, I think both are exaggerated, 3-5 degree celsius improvement might be more realistic, based on this post.
If legit, it seems decent to me afterall, despite the marketing bs lol.

Wow, I missed this! Another reasonable alternative to the NH-L9a in the sub 40mm category for Ryzen CPUs. I have a Scythe Kozuti for 115x CPUs, so this would probably perform similarly with one fan? Now if only I can find a store that sells them...
I'll check the Kozuti this week and add the the cooler round up.

Just wanting to make sure, the l9i/a will be tested against this, right @IntoxicatedPuma ?
This would fit in just the right way into my customod 3.24L but I'd like to see how it compares to my current l9i before I go cutting holes in side panels.

I think it would be more accurate to measure heat dissipated. For instance, if you are generating 100w of heat on your CPU, and the cooler is reaching 60 deg C. Can compare that to something that reaches 60 deg C but is dissipating 120w of heat from the CPU.
Even that isn't a great comparison imo, but should be good enough for most people.
Ok, this might sound crazy, but I found this

This fan has 80 mm mounting points. Is this a way to maximize the potential of this cooler?

That fan has a height of 15mm, which makes it too tall for the jitte. The jitte uses a 80x10mm fan on the bottom.
Well, it can be used for the top position then. I want to like this cooler, but those 80mm fans don't appear to cut it against the competition.
