DAN HSLP-48: A powerful sub 50mm heatsink

3CP0's brother, The Dan C4-H20, has surfaced as a cool Ghost loqueueueue whatever it's name is competitor.

Where is R2D2's brother the HeatsinkLowProfile-48 or HSLP-48. Help us Obi 1 DANobi, you are our only hope.

It‘s probably one of the last warm day‘s with great weather in germany this year. But I realy can‘t wait for the update too.
 
Hey dan, I just thought of a heatsink design, not sure if you considered... It would give better DIMM clearance (with standard height of 31.25mm) using the 120x15mm fan.

I haven't drawn anything but I'll try to put in words...

Think about an NH-L9i with 6 heatpipes... bend those heatpipe upwards to meet another fin array on top with just enough clearance for a 15mm fan in the middle (16mm clearance should be enough I presume).

Now, DDR4 DIMMs start at 2.4mm from the motherboard when installed. This means, the tip of the DIMM will be 31.25+2.4 = 33.65mm from the motherboard. So, let's shoot for 34mm clearance from the motherboard surface.

Assuming CPU surface starts at 8mm from the motherboard, this gives us 34-8 = 26mm distance from heatsink bottom plate to the fan. Shooting for 48mm height, and using a 15mm fan we have 48-26-15 = 7mm for the thickness of the upper fin array.
I'm going to assume that this upper fin array will have the same area (121x116.5) and density (59 fins) for comparison.

The bottom fin array (including the copper plate) will have 26mm to work with. Giving 1mm for fan clearance, let's say 25mm (which is still 2mm taller than NH-L9i). Considering heatpipe bend allowance, the bottom fin array should have an area of 95x85mm.
Assuming 3mm for copper plate, we have a 22mm height for the fins. Allowing some area loss for the cut-outs (to clear motherboard components, just like NH-L9i does) I'll assume 20mm (on average) fin height.
Further assuming the same kind of fin density as the top fin array, we would have 48 fins.

Total fin surface area would be: 7 x 121 x 59 + 20 x 95 x 48 = 141,000 (compare that to 114,000 with the current design)

TLDR; with a sandwich design (with a bottom fin array ala NH-L9i and a thin top fin array) it's possible to have more surface area AND much better DIMM clearance.

Edit: The heatsink would install just like NH-L9i.

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

As of Dondan's last update, he said that the Asus z270 board would actually work with his latest adjustments- we'll have to see, though.
 
Today I got this:

You see two Micron DDR4 UDIMM ECC PC-2400 VLP 16GB.
As I told you some pages ago, if you buy ECC Ram that is not buffered it will work with every normal i3, i5, i7, Ryzen. You don't need a server board and server CPU for it.
I made a very good deal because ram prices are currently very high and I got this kid on ebay for only 218€, because it was only listed by its S/N name.

Here is a list of known ECC unbuffered DDR4 VLP modules:
  • Curcial CT16G4XFD824A
  • Micron MTA18ADF2G72AZ-2G3
  • Supermicro MEM-DR416L-CV02-EU24

All Kits are based on the Micron Module ;)

After Asus will release the new AM4 ITX boards I will also order:
  • AMD Ryzen 7 1700
  • Asus ROG Strix B350-I Gaming
 
Very nice deal! Looking forward to seeing results that include the 120mm fan.

Do you already have the Strix z270-I? It looks to me like the z370-I is essentially the same thing, so you probably wouldn't need to test the latter.
 
DonDon maybe you can use the Gigabyte board there are the ram slots on the side of the board and maybe it will work with normal high of ram if you rotate the heatpipes to the side of the ram. Can you maybe check this in cad with your cpu cooler model ?

Based on latest tests with TY-100 and ordered VLP DDR4, what fan will be part of heatsink?

Tried to order TY-100:

But 2 weeks no respond/reply.

I need AXP mounting kit too, because Nexus Low 7000 R2 (second hand) recently i ordered not include Intel mounting, but i ordered AMD to Intel bracket. Hope it work. => (Received not compatible unless i cut into two pieces)
Now i wonder what is best performance/silence PWM fan with no need VLP memory to fit under heatsink. Is Noctua A9x14 (from L9i) the best option after TY-100?

EDIT: I contact Varick and received very fast reply. I used German support info@thermalright.de
AXP mounting kit fits ok (no backplate only screws?)

Try sending Varick (varick@thermalright.com.tw) an email. He responded to my inquiry before about my AXP-100H AM4 Mount Kit and a couple of TY-100BW fans.
 
Thank you for your input. But I think there will be no different between this design and my design. Because the radiator surface is the limiting factor for both designs.

Furthermore i think a heatpipe is able to transport heat better an faster for this short distance.

But I will keep your idea in mind maybe I have a idea to make it more powerful
 
Hi Dan,

I was just wondering, is there a likelihood that the DAN HSLP-48's release will coincide with the release of the DAN Cases A4-SFX v2 next year?

Cheers
Tim
 
So for v2 it may be worth it to pickup the CRYORIG c7 CU full copper version for a temporary solution until the HSLP-48 hopefully comes out. Or just normal version, not big enough of a difference in full copper to matter for me on the c7 since it is covered by fan. But for HSLP I want full copper for aesthetic, since no fan will be blocking the view of the copper it will look very nice :)

Unfortunately there is no release date for the CU series from Cryorig I contacted them a month or so ago and they replied that what they showed was a concept and that they didn't have any information on when/if they would be actually releasing it. I too was hoping to get that as a cooling solution until HSLP-48 comes out

Then i'll need to go for a temporary Asetek 545LC solution, ditching the front USB port. I really thought the C7 Performance edition would come out anyday now...
 
A Cryorig C7 CU with a Noctua fan as a temporary solution, maybe? I'm also toying with the idea of buying a Noctua NH-L9x65 and cutting the top of the heatsink fins off to fit.

@ Cody Spring: The C7 is too loud. Better go for the LP53, NH-L9i/a

I have heard this can be remedied with a noctua fan replacement and some zip ties, I plan to do that for the better cooling over the NH-L9*, but if noise is still an issue after that I will definitely grab the NH.

I read in earlier posts that with a custom shroud, the Noctua NH-L9* is within a degree or so of the C7 or LP53.

I think you will have to cut off parts of the heatpipe as well :(

It is definitely a better solution than the fan of the C7, but still a lot worse than the NH-L9i/a or LP53/K129. If you have a C7 cooler already and dont care of the noise that much or have a low power CPU, you can go this way. Furthermore the performence is only better than the NH-L9i, if you don't use a fan duct for the NH-L9i.

Now let's get back to topic. I can't wait to see if the HSLP performs a lot better than previous coolers or not. There seems to be no other design that has a chance to be better than current coolers.
