What do you think about a layout like this Dan? from my understanding it's still 9mm too long at 184mmThere aren't any ways a double 92mm fan heatsink will fit. I thought about it many times, but I can't see a solution. If you have a idea let me know.
Why doesn't noctua just release limited edition l9i that's 100% copper and charge accordingly for it? Would simple material change tame i7 7700k level of heat to reasonable levels again not looking for a miracle.We could for sure design such a fan but I don't think people would like to wait 1-2 years for it to be ready.
Seriously though, I don't see us going for such a fan anytime soon, as it is an extreme niche size where it is questionable if we would ever even earn the development costs. It was a bit easier with the A9x14, as it can be used easily on coolers that have to be inside the Intel and AMD keep-out zones, which is not the case with a 100mm fan.
Regarding a cooler, please send me a PM with your contact address and I'll get in touch with you.
I can't promise anything but we can at least take a look at the topic.
I didn't know you are from Germany but it might make things a bit easier.
Dan, my german is pretty bad. Did they do the test inside a case? And how mouch worse do you think performance would be inside the dan case? Not much I hope.To give you a idea how the HSLP-48 could perform if I make it like a flat Noctua NH-L12 with A9x14 bottom fan please take a look at this review on computerbase:
https://www.computerbase.de/2013-05/7-top-blow-kuehler-test/12/
In the diagramyou can see the NH-L12 with only bottom fan, the AXP100 and the L9i. They tested them on a 2500k with default and 4,2Ghz clock. The test was made with Prime95.
Keep in mind that the A9x14 can spin with 2500RPMS while the NF-B9 has only 1600RPM. But the NF-B9 is thicker as the A9x14. Keep in mind that the AXP100 is 8mm higher as the HSLP-48. The NF-L12 with 1200mm fan could be in the same class as a HSLP-48 with the Noctua unreleased 120x15mm fan with low profile ram.
default all FANs @ 1600RPM
- L9i+A9x14 = 74,6°C
- AXP100+TY-100 = 63,5°C
- NF-L12+NF-B9 =61,2°C
- NF-L12+NF-F12(120mm)=54°C- 1400RPM
default all FANs @ max possible RPM
- L9i+A9x14 = 100 - 64,3°C - 2500RPM
- AXP100+TY-100 = 58,4°C - 2400RPM
- NF-L12+NF-B9 = 61,2°C - 1600RPM
- NF-L12+NF-F12(120mm)=54°C- 1400RPM
4,2GHZ all FANs @ 1600RPM
- L9i+A9x14 = 95°C+ (so no values)
- AXP100+TY-100 = 84,8°C
- NF-L12+NF-B9 =76,6°C
- NF-L12+NF-F12(120mm)=68,7°C- 1400RPM
4,2GHZ all FANs @ max possible RPM
- L9i+A9x14 = 100 - 84,4°C - 2500RPM
- AXP100+TY-100 = 76,6°C - 2400RPM
- NF-L12+NF-B9 = 76,6°C - 1600RPM
- NF-L12+NF-F12(120mm)=68,7°C - 1400RPM
On the pictures it looks more like ~12mm.How much space is under the fan?
24mm
- Here is the new surface calculation:
normal fins = 18.5 (H)mm * 130 (L) mm * 60 count = 86394mm²
small fins = 18.5 (H)mm * 59 (L) mm * 5 count = 5015mm²
5% lost area for heatpipes hole
Total: 142269mm²
Doesn't that mean that the fins could be almost 30mm high? Why do you go for 18,5mm?The space between buttom CPU plate and fins is 20,5mm. But you will need 2mm for the rentention plate.
I'm confued. Shouldn't it be 20,5mm + 2mm rententionplate - 15mm fan thickness?How much space is under the fan?
24mm
Yes. I just don't think that the compromise is worth it. I have a feeling that many would-be buyers don't even know their ram height. Outside of hardforum that's even more so.Yes tall ram with high heatsinks will be incompatible. This is a compromise to have a better cooling performance.
How tall is that riser?And this will also block the PCIe port so you cant install the riser. The max. Length that could work is 140-150mm.
And you don't want your fan to slowly chip the riser.... Or heatsink slowly melt the riser.Nearly the complete height because i would not recomment to bend it that sharp.

Lmao, you can't melt a riser right?And you don't want your fan to slowly chip the riser.... Or heatsink slowly melt the riser.
Basically, like Dan says, nothing over the pci slot
I hope not, nevertheless it's still soft plastic.Lmao, you can't melt a riser right?
You can melt everything if you try hard enough but in this scenario your CPU will be dead way before the riser starts to melt.Lmao, you can't melt a riser right?
Yeah... I think I'm going to give up on my dual fan idea..You have to know that not every board has the socket on the same position.
It makes it really hard to be compatible with future motherboards.Yeah... I think I'm going to give up on my dual fan idea..
@ALL: Here is a picture how a copper version could look like:
