SilverStone's has a new low-profile CPU cooler designed as a step up from Intel's stock cooler for compact PCs.

I use the LGA1150 Intel stock cooler. I don't have any problems with the cooler, and it's quiet. I don't think I need this.

This is only meant for size, particularly for mini-itx cases.

But i think with intel's newer 14nm cpu's, this cooler would probably be fine and run slower(quieter) when not overclocking a 12nm cpu.

So AMD is improving their stock coolers while Intel is making theirs worse?

 

[Roy_5_]

From what I can tell this is a stock cooler with a more expensive and louder fan, is Silverstone trying to fail?

This isn't Intel's cooler; it's Silverstone's cooler that they think could serve as a replacement for the stock Intel cooler.

Spam started out strong, then just sort of tapered off in to gibberish.

Now I really want a 'surly chek'.

This is not an Intel stock cooler. The article is ambiguously titled.

I've found the stock coolers for the larger CPUs to make great low power replacements for the tiny stock coolers Intel provides for their lower power chips.

I'm well aware of the OEM. However that doesn't matter. If this is the cooler that comes boxed with the CPU when you buy it, it is the "stock cooler." Hence, while AMD is trying to improve the cooler that comes with their CPUs, Intel is sourcing an inferior product to what they were using.

I put a baseball card into the fan of my computer so it sounds like a car motor...

Right, but this isn't an OEM for Intel...the title is written such as clickbait. "Designed to replace Stock Intel CPU Cooler" Not "Intel replacing stock cooler with Silverstone product"

 

[RedJaron]

Ahh, I see that now. Yes, very potentially confusing. And I even perused the article itself.

Do people that spend $20 on a loud cooler not care about noise, or do they just not know any better?

I used the stock cooler myself for ages. It's not a bad cooler for the average user. I've got water cooling these days, but to be fair, the noise levels from my PC is really not that much lower now. 😀

 

[turkey3_scratch]

I've had no problems with the Intel stock coolers, aside from those annoying pushpins.

People spend $110 for Corsair watercoolers that are that loud.

Not an Intel stock cooler. It is Silverstone. I thought it was Intel stock cooler too until is read the article and understood it was third party.

 

[falchard]

Yea, it's not an Intel stock cooler. The stock cooler is way worse. I think this is for low profile cases.

 

[JoeMomma]

I wish someone would make this same cooler with a 120mm fan.

Real water cooling or a CLC ? There has not been a CLC type cooler made yet that doesn't get beat thermally by a comparably priced air cooler. And the CLCs have to be 8 - 12 times as loud to get close. You can't expect to use a cheap aluminum radiator and a weak 0.11 gpm pump and expect low noise and good thermal performance. To overcome the low heat transfer of the aluminum rad and the low flow rate, CLCs need high rpm fans ... and hence the noise.

If I were looking for a low profile cooler, I would probably look at the Cryorig C7, maybe a C1.

I've been meaning to take my i7-950 stock cooler and see if I can adapt it to fit an LGA115x socket. Might require some milling/drilling and the addition of a backplate.

I found the higher wattage i7-4770k stock cooler to be a great quiet low profile solution for my i3-4130t. I can't believe how little metal the cooler it came with has.

When I sold my friend my i5 750, I used a stock cooler, that I had been given, with my i5 2400. It was actually the stock cooler to a 2600k.

 

[Eximo]

Yeah, the LGA1366 stock coolers are just all around bigger since they are for 130W chips. With a backplate and narrow screws could probably just bend the fins around the screw shafts and get it locked in position that way. Could also knock out the interfering fins. It is a massive chunk of aluminum with the normal copper slug and I have had it sitting for about six years now.
