Intel Laminar RH1 Alder Lake-S Stock Cooler Pictured

Welp at least it looks better than previous iterations...

That's look pretty unique & cool (no pun intended) very exoskeleton/grinder like mixed with old-school Zalman coolers.

Like the way the centre is still with running fan

Of course, they need you to see the word "intel" sideways in thousands of systems before the end of the year


It's all plastic made to look like fins for cooling, I sadly believe many will fall for that and think its a much bigger, better cooler than it really is

On the bright side, it comes free with your processor, and you're just as free not to use it. They can hide the fact that it's plastic in the pictures with some clever editing, but they can't hide it in real life when you hold it in your hands.

The 5 cents in material used should have been for more alu, or even copper added

So all the fins are plastic? If so that is so retarded.

Oh yeah, look closer - the top fins are ALL plastic, guided onto a generic stock intel alu cooler that we all loathe down the veeeeery bottom
I'll post previous photos

Look down the very bottom where the fin sizes change, thats the actual heatsink

Same again, you can see the plastic above and outside the actual heatsink

Only the base cooler with push pins has plastic fins surrounding the fan.
The higher end model with thumb screws appears to be metal of some sort.

look here, you can see where they seperate

And it still appears to be metal, even if seperate

Looks like plastic to me, it's shiny and you can see semi-translucent areas

You dont get that kind of reflectivity shift from side to edge with Alu

Ok for the power penny pinchers i guess. No good for me though and my power hungry chip.

It looks like the original Intel CPU cooler type with a plastic top on it. Looking at specs on the 12400 though it will probably be fine. I did see a CPUz multi score of the 12400 earlier and it matches the 5800x, which is pretty spiff

Let's be honest. How many of you guys will use this cooler instead of your own?

prebuilts everywhere outnumber us massively

At least the wraith prism looked awesome (even if it couldnt cool many of the chips quietly)

Owners of prebuilts don't care if their CPU is in the commonly acceptable temperature range. They only care if the computer works.

which it wont for long, when these are used in anything but an air conditioned office and they get a hint of dust

which be why i saltier than the pacific ocean

It will work. Higher end CPUs will thermal throttle, which office workers won't notice. Home users will just take the computer back to the store for cleaning, or saying that "something's wrong".

How many generations of crappy stock coolers have we survived both from Intel and AMD? This is just another one. With LED and a fancy shroud this time.
