Thermalright at it again with the CPU coolers ! 🙂 Had one of these before for a low profile build and it behaved as well as one of the standy-up tower coolers....wasnt too loud either ! Still be used to this day if I remember correctly, cant fault it. Thanks for sharing, Mike and Kath.

Heard a friend that removed the central wire support, not "obligatory", and used a slim fan under it, to fit in ~80mm clearance cases. And still gets 35mm RAM clearance this way, fit for some Lpx corsair, kingston hyperX, or any vlp kits. Awesome

Actually, I find that this cooler works well with a more powerful overclocked CPU. I have paired mine with a Phantek T30 fan and use it over a Ryzen 7900 that is overclocked to a TDP of 95W. Cinebench R23 multicore takes the socket power to 131W, CPU clocks run up to 4950 and it scores around 27000. Temps reach a 83C with room temp around 25C. I tried upgrading to a Noctua NH-C14S and found that one very much less capable. That blew my mind. I put it through Noctua’s prescribed stress test, sent them the log and they insisted that it was peforming to specs. I still think something was wrong. The cold plate was very much convex, but they insisted that that too was normal. So, as of now, the SI-100 with Phantek T30 fan is my best “low profile” cooler. BTW, I use a little ITX open case. I only have this fan and the GPU fan on the other side. I could go with a tower cooler, but I don’t want the tail wagging the dog…in terms of size that is. I appreciate your very fine review.

I have the SI-100 Black version. I'm using it on the Ryzen 5 7600 non X. It's an excellent low profile CPU cooler. But on the AM5 platform it will depend on the Chipset driver you are using. In the tests I did on Cinebench23 for 10 minutes, I obtained the following results: - Chipset driver 5.02.19.2221 (february/2023): 71,6º/14470 points. - Chipset driver 5.05.16.529 (may/2023): 88~90º/14220 points. - Chipset driver 5.08.02.027 (august/2023): 78º/14340 points. All tests were carried out at an ambient temperature of 25º. With PBO (PPT 85W, PPTL 85 and CO -30).

I just bought this one for my 12700k, prime 95, gives me 90 degress celcius, i know prime 95 is not realistic, aida 64, gives me around 70 to 80 only. Fs2020 gives me 50 to 65 some 70. Its a nice cooler, gives me clearance for my ram. Looks neat and good in pc unlike those tower type cooler. Performs well and its quiet. The cooler that it replace is cooler master 212 led, prime 95 is 100 degress right away, aida is 85 to 90 degress, fs 2020, 65 to 75 sometimes 80, big difference for a compact looking cooler.

I'm getting one this week, definitely will try swapping with a T30. What is impressive is that with a 500g cooler (fan included), you have really close results to a U12S or the assassin king like you mentioned. I'm trying it because I have a down to up airflow MATX like case with the PSU deported at the front of the computer and I expect that maybe I can get the same results I have with my Alpenphon dolomit premium tower cooler and maybe better temps on the VRM. I will also try to put a 140mm TY-147B fan and check noise and temps. My 13600k is already undervolted at -0.05 but when I do frame interpolation on all cores the T30 gets noisy even if I'm just at 134W total CPU power consumption.
@sourcilavise37886 ай бұрын
Strangely, the T30 performs less than the stock fan (TL-E12 FAN). I couldn't test the TY147B because it's 26.5mm thick instead of standard 25mm so I'm getting a Noctua NF-P14r to test. When doing frame interpolation on all cores, I'm hitting 82°C with the T30 and 80°C with the stock fan. Checking the specs of the SI-100, the fan has better CFM at 2000rpm than the T30. I'm expecting getting below 80 permanently with the NF-P14r while slightly reducing sound. Just to say that a good downdraft can equal an equivalent tower cooler depending of the setup. My PC case is the ZZAW C2M with the acrylic side panel.
