ID-Cooling Unveils IS-30 Series Low-profile CPU Coolers

ID-Cooling today unveiled the IS-30 line of low-profile CPU coolers. With their fans installed, these coolers have a height of just 30 mm. There isn't enough room for a multi-socket retention module, and so there are socket-specific variants. The IS-30I Black is designed for Socket LGA1700 and LGA1200/115x, while the IS-30AMD is designed for Sockets AM5 and AM4. A key difference in design between the two is what while the IS-30I Black has all-black fins and heatpipes, while IS-30AMD uses bare aluminium fins, and nickel-plated copper heatpipes.

The design for the IS-30 series is pretty straightforward—four 6 mm-thick copper heatpipes make indirect contact with the processor through a copper base, conveying heat through a thin aluminium fin-stack, which is ventilated by a thin 92 mm fan. This fan features a sleeved bearing, turns at speeds between 800 to 3,600 RPM, pushing up to 40 CFM of airflow, with noise levels ranging between 17 to 35.8 dBA. With the fan in place, the cooler measures 94 mm x 94 mm x 30 mm (not including the retention module, so it's 30 mm up from the point of contact with the processor. ID-Cooling claims that the cooler can take thermal loads of up to 100 W. The company didn't reveal pricing.
