    DAN HSLP-48: A powerful sub 50mm heatsink

    I would still put a replacement heat sink on but a smaller passive one.

    DAN A4-SFX: The smallest gaming case in the world

    Yeah I didn't quite keep up with the thread for some time. Thanks. Just ordered a third A9x14 PWM (one for the PSU, one under the PSU and one under the Mobo)

    DAN A4-SFX: The smallest gaming case in the world

    I was thinking about modifying my V2 to accommodate a 92 mm fan below the mainboard. With the older style flex riser that isn't possible probably because the cable goes downwards from the PCI-E slot on the GPU side and because of the bending radius would interfere with the fan. Does anybody...

    DAN HSLP-48: A powerful sub 50mm heatsink

    Well the 1800X technically has the same TDP (I know it's only comparable at base clock) and there are users like PantherB above who seem to easily make it work for the 1800X. I am hoping that going direct die + thermal grizzly + 120 mm + a little UV will keep it in the high 80s at max. I also...

    DAN HSLP-48: A powerful sub 50mm heatsink

    Spoiler: I will try to do a build using a 9900k with direct die cooling on an Asus Z390 Strix-I using the Black Ridge with a Noctua A12x15 PWM and VLP Ram. Pretty much everything will need to be modified for this. The mounting brackets because of the reduced CPU height, the fan frame will need...

    It is still black coated but it's more of a shiny metalized coating than a mate black paint now. Yours definitely doesn't look like mine.

    Any idea about the ASUS ROG Strix Z390-I Gaming

    That's pretty impressive

    hmm I'll have to modify it then to go direct DIE

    DAN A4-SFW: New build - help understanding temperature results

    XMP? It will increase case temperatures slightly I guess but shouldn't influence the CPU much.

    Looks interesting but 92mm is a bit small

    DAN C4-SFX: The smallest water cooling case in the world

    Maybe look into OpenFOAM, it doesn't have a GUI which makes it clunky to use but you could use https://engys.com/products/helyx-os (you would Linux if you want the free version) it's a lot of work but it's free and you can do a lot more experiments without any additional cost or waiting time.

    DAN C4-SFX: The smallest water cooling case in the world

    Dondan I admire your work but I really think you need some CFD simulations. Also for your HSLP project. If I learned anything working with aerodynamics it is that they are not always easy to predict. CFD is the only way to somewhat reliably predict flow patterns. In principle the idea of...

    DAN C4-SFX: The smallest water cooling case in the world

    Interesting reflection you got going on there... But yes that's what I meant but maybe you are right, it kind of lacks something. I still like that it's clean but maybe it just needs a centerpiece, maybe a centered front power button. I do like the lack of front I/O though, I wouldn't really use...

    DAN HSLP-48: A powerful sub 50mm heatsink

    For example the MSI board now has the same kind of voltage regulator heat sink that prevents the HSLP from fitting onto the Asus Z270 board

    Have you checked which of the new Z370 boards will work yet?

    DAN C4-SFX: The smallest water cooling case in the world

    Would you consider making a stealth version of this, with no front I/O, no on button (have it somewhere on the backside) and preferably no brand name? I feel like people buying these cases care for a minimalist device so having a minimalist look would go well with that.

    DAN C4-SFX: The smallest water cooling case in the world

    I don't want to sound rude but technically I could refund my A4 kickstarter order (at least as far as German law is concerned there doesn't seem to be a way around this for you) and order this? Not trying to ruin your business or anything because you do awesome stuff but I would imagine quite a...

    Exactly, what is needed here is some proper CFD/thermal/multidomain simulation

    Hex or Torx screws would be so much nicer on the base though

    DAN HSLP-48: A powerful sub 50mm heatsink

    You should consider making the mounting kit and the CPU contact plate as aerodynamic and thin as possible so the airflow to the fan is maximized.

    DAN A4-SFX: The smallest gaming case in the world

    Considering those 99% of users are most likely not enthusiast users then they will most likely install a mainboard exactly a single time and never unscrew it again so they gain nothing while the true enthusiast lose again.

    DAN HSLP-48: A powerful sub 50mm heatsink

    You can't easily buy a TY-100 and nobody buys a heatsink that is designed for a fan you can't easily get. Buying it from Thermalright in larger quantities would be a good option though if they are up for it. EKL might be a good idea for the heatsink itself since they are German.

    What about direct touch though?

    DAN HSLP-48: A powerful sub 50mm heatsink

    The problem isn't the heat transfer in the copper, the problem is the heat transfer between the heat spreader, the copper, and the heatpipes. The heat transfer from one body to the other is significantly slower than inside that body. With direct touch you eliminate one of those boundaries.

    DAN A4-SFX: The smallest gaming case in the world

    All of them should work for AC but you will need more than one, inside the case won't work (or work very poorly) since the case is a pretty perfect RF shield

    DAN HSLP-48: A powerful sub 50mm heatsink

    Nah bro, you don't understand how the Kickstarter game works. He can either mod a AXP100 somehow and call it a prototype or just build one out of cardboard or something while still searching for a manufacturer ;)

    DAN HSLP-48: A powerful sub 50mm heatsink

    Yeah totally. Noctua or Thermalright is probably going to do a CFD study anyway (maybe even with the DAN A4 case around it) and that will show them exactly what works best.

    DAN HSLP-48: A powerful sub 50mm heatsink

    Because they usually also have a lot more fins Only if you have somewhere to transfer the heat to and from. Heatpipes to far away from the DIE or with to little fin area around them make no sense. If only fluid dynamics were this simple.

    DAN HSLP-48: A powerful sub 50mm heatsink

    Exactly, it has 6 heatpipes that have radiators on both ends not 12.
  35. X

    DAN HSLP-48: A powerful sub 50mm heatsink

    Adding more heatpipes doesn't always increase performance, it blocks the flow and reduces fin area. Also there isn't really space on the CPU itself for 8 to make contact with the DIE/heatspreader.
