Post some dank CPU coolers Jow Forums

When did Thermaltake go downhill? Or did its competitors just get that much better.

This one has a Peltier element cooling the CPU and in turn being cooled by the heatsink.

Still have one of these in use. Hell yeah.

Nothing personnel, motherboard.

In Romania this much copper would be steal in minutes.

Same, we have a server with one for 10+ years shit never gets dusty, it's fucking magic

So cool I can almost go passive

Mine's still spinning right now. Actually I'm turning it off this week because the machine it's on is switching to AMD (and I lost the AMD mounting bracket). Not throwing it away, I'll just keep it in case I need anything cooled.

I had one of those.

Tt was the most aesthetic shit on the market so far.

The 2000s sure had some weird cooler designs. I'm kind of glad this is over and Top Blow/Tower coolers are the norm now. FWIW, I still use a Noctua NH-U12P that I bought in 2009 (upgraded to dual PAM fans), a cooler design that originated in 2006.

Its age shows, it's nowhere near as potent as the newest Noctua models, but the fact that I could keep this cooler for so long and with so many different builds (Phenom II X4 /AM2-> Phenom II X6/AM3 > FX 8350/AM3 -> Ryzen 1700/AM4) makes this the longest lasting piece of hardware I had ever bought. Poo or not, Noctuas are well wirth their money.

>I'm kind of glad this is over
Fuck you, nigger.

damn, son...

Still better than having to deal with the local rapist.

Do you really want to go back to this
faggot? Besides, Before the noctua I had a Zalman CNPS9700 like in the pic here
back in the day, it was a very good cooler but by today's standards it's dogshit. It's probably on the same level as AMD's stock coolers.

>Do you really want to go back to this
Hell yes! Try new things, give people options, celebrate the odd!

...

they had a really good run for at least 5 years, then they lost traction. Their innovation and aesthetics were top notch during that time. They didn't keep up well with the front to back and AIOs, though. I wish they went into more passive cooling stuff when they obviously fell behind. My brand loyalty and their innovation would have carried me into trying out a few of their things if they had. Maybe they tried and just couldn't think of any good innovations for passive stuff, though. I never looked that deeply into it.

I wonder if there's any ridiculous coolers using stock AM2 backplates, because those can be installed on AM4.

>reee stop liking anything other than muh copypaste towers

>Phenom II X6/AM3 > FX 8350/AM3
Why would you do this? It's not even an upgrade

Looks sleek, but if LTT is to be believed, it sucks at cooling.

What Intel CPUs come with this again? Old Xeons?

>Phenom II gud

nice AVX support, faggot.

I remember hearing about kinetic coolers and then that's the only one to come out.

Gonna get this for my 3700X next weekend.

Intel's Socket 478 stock cooler was pretty nice. Just rigged up one and hooked it to a Prescott 3Ghz, getting 55-60C on full load. I don't understand where the Preshot housefire meme comes from.

Based. Just got mine in the mail yesterday.

This is going to become the new patrician's choice air cooler. Mark my words

Thank god for AIOs. Fuck these monstrosities that are a pain to install and clean.

Still using it to this day.

I fucking hope that was one of the Opteron versions and not a SPARC.

It was, the Opteron hardware is now housed in a different case and was still working when I moved the hardware.

too bad it was dumbed down

Attached: sandia2014.jpg (300x249, 28K)

I had that ram back in the day OCZ platinum ddr2 800mhz. I had to put 1 stick into a mobo and bump up the voltage before it would boot with the other 3 sticks in

I don't know what's worse, that Zalman made those fans, that I actually bought one or that other companies copied the design.

I had the mini ninja on an old am2 htpc that did go passive as long as I knocked the voltage down a step or two

oh so that explains that.

i had a phenom 2 tri-core at like 4 ghz but i fried the motherboard and i temporarily used a pentium g4400. despite the drastically lower clock speeds and the lack of threads it was insanely fast in comparison, especially for video editing, even though it technically benched lower

i have a perfectly good hyper212 i could install on my cpu but i'm a dumb motherfucker and i bought an overpriced gold gammax 400 for $40 because its gold plated and i have a gold colored gpu and gold colored fans. i bought some gold heat sinks for my ram too

Attached: gold.jpg (640x480, 41K)

super comfy thread, thanks

owo whats the principle here

i'm using one of these on a 7600k right now and i can even get it to overclock to 4.5 without my temps rising above 80 and its not like case airflow helps because the entire cooler is lower profile than a fucking ram stick

metal fan dissipates heat too

its a very impressive cooler in terms of its size but its a low profile cooler for 70w cpus, and while the gimmicky metal fan is definitely doing something, it isn't nearly as good of a cooling solution as using heat pipes. it's a novel approach within its design constraints though, that's for sure.

had that one on my athlon 64 build ages ago, was loud as fuck when it ran at full speed

aallright. i'm usually a sucker for these weird takes on classic designs.
so it's like a heatsink with moving parts lmao.
but it's still driven electrically? or are they doing that with heat as well? because that would be rad.

also since this is kind of a hardware thread. anyone know if there's compact cassette players in the same form factors as floppy drives or cds? ie that i can slot them in my tower?
i don't have high hopes but my thought is they would exist as a remnant from like the atari/commodore era when you stored data on tape.
i've found a lot of drives for different tape standars (pic related) but i want it to be the compact cassette usually used for music

Im considering this seriously. Stuck between that, the out of stock u12a, and either the corsair h60 or nzxt x42

Coolers have never looked so good until this

Why can't manufacturers make a rotating heat sink like that image

Attached: thinking.gif (320x320, 240K)

that's the initial idea. to spun it so fast that no would rest on

I had a Fuma about 4 years ago when I lived in Japan. I ended up getting a D15 when it wasn't enough for high voltage OCing. It's not a bad cooler but you can't ignore physics. It's just not big enough to handle a ton of heat.

It's the TS15A and is sold standalone. I don't think any CPU comes with one in the box.

cringe, kys

Cooler Master V10. Was basically a dual tower sink with a 3rd tower laying horizontal over the ram.

Attached: V10-131.jpg (800x609, 123K)

yea.. no

Is that a Stirling engine? So rad.

yes it is

Why not a 280mm aio instead of the shitty h60?

I pulled my 2010 CNPS9900 from a box after a failed AIO, it now cools my 6700k

could this actually work? Never thought about putting a fucking sterling engine on a cpu
