Supermicro SNK-P0049A4, Luftkühlung, Schwarz

Grundsätzlich guter Lüfter. Selbstverständlich für Desktop-Verhältnisse unangenehm laut, aber im Vergleich zu Servern auch unter Volllast überraschend leise. Soweit auch nicht verwunderlich, da dieser Lüfter für 1U Server-Gehäuse gemacht ist. Kann die max-TDP-Angabe nicht testen, da bei mir der Prozessor drunter gerade mal 50W hat. Der fühlt sich aber sehr wohl.

I'm using this in a mini-ITX build in an original PlayStation where every millimeter counts and it is perfect for the job. It is so short that the audio header on the motherboard is taller. My CPU is a 4130T and this keeps it around 32-35c idle and stable at 61-63c under load in prime95 stress test. A 35w CPU isn't the biggest challenge, but the size of the enclosure certainly is.

Keep in mind this is for a server room setup, as it is noisy.

This heatsink almost lasted two years. I don't think that is a bad deal for only $30. It kept my cpu temp at a tolerable level but often ran to loud when I was playing games. When my computer complained that there was a cpu fan error I opened it up and the fins were just caked in an inch layer of dust on every side. Because it is not very tall it does not have much surface area and dust builds up quickly. After cleaning it I still get the cpu fan error.

I have been using Dynatron CPU coolers for about 3 years, they still working without issues. Someone says is loud, is true but this is a server grade cooler, datacenters are even more louder so you won't hear this cooler
