Anyone any experience with this cooler?
Specifications, price and a seemingly well thought of brand, all point to it being a good solution for me.
There is one good feedback on the OC components/cpu cooling sales page, but not much else about in terms of tests or reviews, so would welcome any more information about it.
It will be used on an MITX build which consists of a G3258K on an ASRock H97M-ITX/ac, with 8GB HyperX Savage. Not overclocked or likely to be.
I do have a height limit of approximately 50mm and the airflow is likely to be average to poor, at least until I do some mods.
The case is a cross between a cube and a tower and very small,166mm wide X 244mm tall and 298 mm deep, and has mounting for a full size ATX PSU.
I have a Seasonics M series semi fanless I want to fit and thats what makes the height restriction.

I've come across this cooler as well when speccing a build and stumbled upon the following review

Will probably need to use Google translate

Ta,
Yes, seen that one, seems the only one around. Few more on Amazon.De but nothing from lab tests or review sites.
Does seem worth a try though!

Definitely and then you can make your own review

If I get one I will definitely do a findings report, at the same time report on the case that also has no feedback, reviews or tests either. Thats the Evo Labs e-a2.
I ordered one and its not a bad little case at all, very sturdy and decent fit and finish.
Might have to mod for better airflow though, but thats more of a project than a problem.
Using at the moment with a Pico so lots of room in there, bet a full size PSU will take a lot of the free space.
