The JF13K Diamond Mini has a unique form factor, but it’s not much of an improvement over its predecessor.

Thanks for the Review! Can you test the new Cooper and the sl-100 from the termalright ?
Cheap Cheap for little machines.

2. “Out of the box”/default configuration thermal and acoustics testing

I don't feel this statement is accurate seeing that based on the official images from the jiushark website, the reviewer installed this cooler upside down and therefore it is possible it may affect cooling and/or noise performance seeing as there is some kind of air director installed on one end of the cooler.
I couldn't find a manual available to download. I hope the reviewer can post screenshots of the manual given in the box to clarify. The air director thingy is supposed to be mounted on the bottom side towards the gpu, not on the top side towards the vrm.

I know that would not be fair but I would like to see this cooler tested with better fans, like Noctua fans, just for the sake of knowing how better (...or not...) it would perform. Every AIO I have I use Noctua fans.

100mm fans are asking for pain. What happens when you need to replace them? You’ll have to chuck the whole cooler

A few thoughts on this:

1) I don't think this is going to matter, at all. While I will retest the unit to be sure, I highly doubt the results will significantly change.

2) The "air director" you speak of is just for aesthetics. I would actually argue it might reduce the performance of the unit by a small amount, as it blocks airflow over the first 5 or 6 fins.

Oh wow, that does look like quite the little beast! I've recently started testing top down coolers in a SFF system, I'll see if Thermalright is willing to send a sample.
