I know this often gets mentioned in other threads, but I think it would be fun to have a conclusive discussion on the subject of best SFF CPU coolers from experts.

So to start things out I'm wondering if anyone has knowledge about the ID Cooling IS-VC45? http://www.idcooling.com/Product/detail/id/44/name/IS-VC45

There are a few reviews for it but nothing that directly compares it with the other popular low profile heatsinks.

From what I can tell it should at least outperform the NH-l9i. But after looking at the thermal tests Dondan did with the A4 I'm still inclined to think that the Thermolab/Cooltek LP53 with a slim fan is the best low profile 1151 cooler you can buy for SFF cases. I could be wrong?

I'm also curious if anyone has ever owned a Dynatron K129, or converted one of their vapor-chamber heatsinks to mount on a 1151?
 
That's a good point. It might be a worthwhile to replace the fan with a more reputable one.

Personally I'm just looking for the most effective thermal performance.
