Get one in for testing!

Noctua L9i
ID-Cooling IS-40X / IS-47X / IS-30

So all it really takes these days to earn a 'good enough for the 12900K' summary is, apparently, hang a 'up to 140 W TDP' banner on the box...?

Watch out, Nocuta!

(And now the heat dissipation of the very best air coolers in the world can be crammed into a single stack about the size of a pack of cigarettes, ande smaller than a quarter of the size of the previous air cooling icons...; fascinating.)

Kind of what I was thinking. As someone who is running a 12900k and a NH-D15, I'm a bit skeptical..... I think I'll wait for some independent reviews.

140W of cooling? I just wanna know what the retaining clips for an AM4 socket would look like (as long as can use the hooks that are usually found with AM4 motherboards).

Would be interesting to see how it would compete against a compact liquid cooler, such as the Corsair H80 series.

TDP ratings for coolers need to be taken with a pail of salt. I’ve tested a few of these low profile coolers and never found them to be truthful, or live up to what they advertised. This one looks exactly like an ID-Cooling cooler, just with a different fan slapped on it.

Agreed, lets see testing otherwise take the marketing disguised as an article down. Did the company pay for this "article"?

If it can maintain the 12900K at base clock speeds with realistic workloads, i.e., not running Prime95, then yes.

Some companies like to pride themselves on providing more than the bare minimum. Other companies only want to sell you the bare minimum.

 

[mdd1963]

So now merely maintaining minimal 'base clock speeds' of 3.2 GHz with with 99C temps is sufficient to earn '12900K-approved'? (Hey, it's not throttling if it maintains base clock, right?)

That's a good one.

LOL!

The author can , of course, redeem himself by doing an actual test...but, it's likely this will not happen, as apparently, all we need to make CPU cooler recommendations are the manufacturer's TDP claims these days.

Good times!

Technically, yes. It's still doing the base speed which is what the manufacturer guarantees as long as the cooling is sufficient, which for the sake of argument, is sufficient because 99C is still less than 100C.

However, that does not mean I personally think it's a good idea. So don't take me pointing out still being within the operational parameters means I'm saying you should definitely go do it.

Don't implicate the author. This was just a product launch news article. They're just passing along the manufacturer marketing info.
