Akasa Intros the AK-CC6609EP01 Low-Profile CPU Cooler That's Shorter Than a Puck

[btarunr]

With a height of 21.8 mm, the new AK-CC6609EP01 low-profile CPU cooler from Akasa is shorter than an Ice-Hockey puck (which is 25 mm-tall). The cooler supports Socket LGA1700, and Akasa reckons it will go well with 12th Gen Core processors with 35 W processor base power at stock settings. Its design isn't all that different from Intel's stock HSF: an aluminium monoblock heatsink with radially-projecting fins, pulls heat through a nickel-plated copper base. The 75 mm proprietary fan is nestled into the heatsink, and some of its lateral airflow goes through the edges of the heatsink. The fan turns at speeds ranging between 600 to 3,000 RPM, pushing up to 23.45 CFM of airflow, at up to 30.75 dBA noise output. Its hydro-dynamic bearing gives it 40,000 hours life. It measures 87.2 mm x 85.2 mm x 21.8 mm. The company didn't reveal pricing.

Similar solutions should be designed for the thin notebooks. Because nowadays the customers with 15-watt U intel processors complain about noise from the fan and heat on their laps.
Absolute embarrassment. The design teams are monkeys?

For laptops manufacturers just care about the looks, cooling is an afterthought.

This heatsink is still more than twice the thickness of a thin notebook, with several more times surface area, and can only cool 35W. Who is the monkey here? They do what they can sometimes, and while i agree than some of the designs are crap, you can't just plop this into a laptop that will sell.

This is why I said SIMILAR, not exactly this

Read it once again and come again to attack.

And what kind of similarity do you want? You are the one to attack people that is much smarter than you regarding cooling, extruded aluminum is pretty much the bottom of the barrel, so anything SIMILAR to this will be crap compared to what we have in laptops already

You are a troll..

Nope, i am not, i am someone that understands how a thin heatpipe works and why is it inside modern laptops instead of whatever idea you have that you don't want to share.

Whut. Heat needs to be pushed out as much as possible outside of the casing. Thats why notebook or laptops always and will have a heatpipe based sollution where the heatsink is litterally against the casing to push the heat outside. Something like this in a notebook will only distribute the heat rather then pushing it out.

What is the point of this product? The Intel stock cooler is surely just as good if not better, and free... Sure this product is insanely thin but the Intel stock cooler has been fine for HTPCs for years now...

How engineers never thought about that?? You might be a genius or something, son. God bless.

My thoughts exactly. Why would anyone buy a worse than the boxed cooler? Maybe for some truly thin setups (the stock cooler has 47mm of height), but I still find this pretty useless.

I think this product was a case of oh, we can make it, who cares if we should.

If i were to guess, it probably belongs inside some weird industrial thingy that's too thing to house a regular stock cooler, pretty much to avoid heavy space constraints

I really like this low-profile CPU cooler. Its modified version should be embedded by the notebooks manufacturers. All of them.
Forget heat pipes and fans that sit dozens of centimeters away from the heat source. Instead, place this fan directly over the chip and call it a day.

Look at the Asus Zenbook - very bad cooling execution and performance - hot and noisy notebook:

Not to mention MSI. With its upside down motherboards

My guess is that this product is intended for those in the marketplace who don't buy retail components.

It's hilarious that some people here only imagine a world where individual retail gamers and hobbyists are the sole people who use desktop PCs.

My favorite local mom-and-pop computer store sells OEM CPUs, disk drives, and many other parts that don't come in retail packaging. Not everyone shops at Best Buy.
