"Mount it under your desk." Noctua made a crotch cooler. These are the advancements I want to hear about.

Awesome that a company is finally looking into some stand alone fan solutions. I too am in a similar boat with my htpc demanding more cooling...I have already got 2x120mm fans mounted at the bottom of my cabinet with a grill up top but without some extra push, the heat doesn't escape quickly enough. So looking forward to that video of how you are going to implement them on you're setup.

[Derakkon]

I cut 4x 140mm holes in the back of my entertainment cabinet and mounted Noctua fans with grills. The intake fans are towards the bottom and have a magnetic filter. The exhaust fans are up towards the top and just have grills. Since I don't have to worry about dust, I am using a test bench frame to hold the computer. This setup keeps my HTPC nice and cool.

The modular desk fan system would be great for adding a filter, so that it could be placed on a bench to direct soldering smoke away from you while soldering medium-to-large boards or handwired circuits. I kludged together something for this using a desktop gooseneck mic stand and a 120mm fan, and this desktop stand would have been SO much better.

How is it not an All In One (AIO) or Closed loop Cooler (CLC), just because it does not have a pump?

[emp]

Something tells me the "competitive" $150 NH-D15 G2 is still not going to look well at the side of the $35 Thermalright Peerless Assasin...

[Hjorth]

A seasonic noctua collaboration?!? *insert rainbow drool*

[iDustball]

Love the coverage dude, always glad to see you uploading!

[austinnafziger]

I love thermosiphon cooling. I have the IceGiant on my 5900X and never see it get above 80. Beast of a cooler. Nice to see some competition in the space.

[freerangemtb]

Some of those extra accessories look like they could easily be sold as 3D Print files. Imagine being able to just buy the files and 3D print your own adapters. That'd be cool.

[-Ambos-]

to this new kind of cooler> there is no such thing like "hey, this is a new product and maybe next year...". If Noctua shows this now for the first time, your children might buy it once.

[bjyoungblood]

The thermosiphon concept is what the IceGiant with Prosiphon Elite released 3 or 4 years back. The benefit of Noctua's is that the heatsink isn't blocking the top half of the motherboard. The benefit of IceGiant's is that you don't have hoses (which I imagine the coolant could leak from). The vapor is entirely locked into the metal pipes attached to the heatsink.

I have the IceGiant, and it performs extremely well with my 5950X. I can peg my CPU at 100% with video encoding as it hovers between 4.5-4.6GHz and see temps stay in high 70s/low 80s.

[vicious]

Wouldn't there still be the issue of leaking seeing as there is liquid inside. Plus wouldnt the gas leech out over time making it less efficient to the point where it no longer works?

[bucyrus]

The concavity of LGA 1700 isn't by design of the chip, it is how the same old cpu retainer that they designed in the 90s deforms the thinner IHS on the modern Itel CPUs. We chould switch to a cooler mounted CPU retainer that the CPU/cooler then slots into the motherboard. This has a lot of theoretical benefits (the CPU can be sealed away from exposure to air humidity, allowing sub zero work, as well as integrated heaters, and structurally locking the CPU to the thing that is sharing thermal stress).

[TimmyInTarky]

Amazing stuff. Wondering what's going on with the upcoming Ryzen 9 - would they have similar weird plate and would the CCDs bi similarly positioned?!

[Spartan]

Noctua and Seasonic working together on Seasonic's PRIME PSU's is just sheer perfection. There are no better power supplies than Seasonic PRIME PSU's, I am currently using a PRIME PX-1000 (2021) and 4x Noctua Industrial iPPC fans on my radiator, both are absolutely stellar in build quality and performance.

[someusername]

Lga1856 will come with a ILM shim to do the same effect as the washers.

[VncentValntine]

8:00 my dad used to make these all the time from scraps lmao!

[GrumpyPants]

That desk fan would be good for us sim racers / flyers!

[tmsphere]

A liquid going through many vapor-liquid-vapor phases will also cause the liquid to evaporate outside of the locked loop and degrade with many cycles, i dunno how this is more efficient than AIO maybe the only upside is no need for pump.
