DAN HSLP-48: A powerful sub 50mm heatsink

What size fan does the cooler use? i'm just asking since Noctua announced a slim (15mm) 120mm fan at computex.

All 4 samples from both companies look INCREDIBLE! I do not think performance will vary... But I will be very interested to know "why" if it does!!!

I love the all-copper solution One question: the Lian-Li version seems to have these air-gaps on top, between the fins, right on the top of the heatpipes... where the CoolJag version doesnt have this airgap, is this an error in production or a fabrication shortcut?

Also, will you be benchmarking these against the NHL9i and the Themolab LP53? :D And will you be testing fitment on the ASUS z270i please? I'd love to upgrade my LP53 to this HSLP-48
 
Lian-Li's base looks like it's a lot smoother than Cooljag's offering. I hope that it doesn't hurt the temps.

I also noticed that difference between the two sources. The cutout above the heat pipes doesn't seem to be there on the Cooljag ones. Is the cutout for helping with soldering? Maybe dondan knows the answer.

Eagerly awaiting the thermal results!

It seems like the Lian-Li prototype is higher quality, the heatpipes bends are more refined, more solider on the contact with the fins and also the base finish. Let's see how it will perform.
 
Understanding that the asus Z270i won't work, would it be comparable with the new asus H270i?
 
They plan to release a Cu version of that cooler - made fully out of copper.
 
It would be 1mm over the 75mm or less asked for, but a copper C1 with the fan replaced by a Prolimatech Pro-USV14 Ultra Sleek Vortex 140mm x 15mm slim fan (120mm mounting holes, which would match with the C1) might be interesting...? Might have to use some zip ties to mount...
 
I'm so curious about the deltas between the Cu and the Al versions. My bet is they will have equal performance, but the Cu versions look a hell of a lot better.

Shall be have a poll, to see what the majority thinks, funny to compare current beliefs with real benchmarks.

Full Cu heatsinks were pretty popular 10 +/- years ago. A lot of ccompanies found that the price to perf ratio wasn't selling as well as expected. The large chunk of pcmaster race swears by a $20 coolermaster tower heatsink or something similar vs other pricier components because why not right? Let's cool my $400 cpu with a $20 cooler. I think the full Cu will perform slightly better than the Aluminium model. But it really depends in the fan. You need more pressure for Cu heatsinks vs airflow just like radiators. My t318 is chugging along nicely but I'm not opposed to a better heatsink. Not to mention that this heatsink pushes hot air out where the other styles keep recycling the hot air inside.

The physics of heat exchange are super simple, quoting Feynman: "it's just the jiggling of atoms". However, at the scale of a heatsink there are so many things that will influence the performance. Things like surface roughness, surface contamination, temperature delta's, etc. With these coolers Dodan can measure the performance for two very similar designs (cooljag and lian-li). This comparison will be much easier to understand than many others and they are both in a realistic setting.

I don't think that pressure has any impact either for the range of pressures achievable in a computer case. Remember that pressure and flow are the effect of both the fan and the geometry of the cooler. Putting a "high pressure" fan on a sparse cooler like this will not change the pressure delta (for a given flow). Nevertheless, I've been wrong before. Perhaps dodan will test with different fans too. I hope he does.

You need this one if you plan to use a 120mm fan:
https://geizhals.de/crucial-vlp-dim....html?hloc=at&hloc=de&hloc=pl&hloc=uk&hloc=eu

I know it is ECC ram but it is unbuffered ECC and not registered ECC so it will work with an i3, i5, i7 and ryzen setup.

Note: There is a kit that has nearly the same name from Crucial but this is registered ECC and will only work on Xeon based systems and chipset.

If i use only 1 of this sticks Will i loose on performance instead of 2 sticks ?

Dondan have you order this sticks and tryed them in your test system.

Woah, that ram is pretty expensive. It's a bummer they only make 16x2 and not a 8x2 set!
