This compact LGA4189 CPU cooler leverages vapor chamber (VC) technology to provide efficient cooling for Intel Xeon processors. It’s designed for space-constrained server environments requiring reliable thermal management.
Key Features and Specifications:
-
CPU Socket Type: LGA4189, compatible with Intel Xeon processors (Ice Lake and Cooper Lake).
-
Product Dimensions: 113mm * 78mm * 25mm. Note that this size is suitable for 1U and 2U server chassis.
-
Power Consumption: Supports CPUs with a TDP up to 230W. Some coolers support up to 205W or 270W TDP.
-
Material Composition: VC soaking plate and aluminum fins. Some coolers utilize a copper base, aluminum fins, and heat pipes.
-
Fin Thickness: 0.3mm.
-
Fin Spacing: 1.5mm.
-
Cooling Type: Passive or Active (with fan).
-
Fan Speed: (If active) PWM controlled.
Cooling Performance and Design:
This cooler combines a VC soaking plate with aluminum fins. The VC technology enhances heat transfer, while the aluminum fins provide a large surface area for heat dissipation. Some coolers utilize a copper vapor chamber base for enhanced heat dissipation. The 3D-VC heat sink combines VC and heat pipes to connect the internal cavity and achieve refrigerant reflux through a capillary structure, completing heat conduction.
Alternative Cooling Methods & Considerations:
-
Server Form Factor: Designed for 1U and 2U servers, ensuring compatibility with space constraints.
-
Active vs. Passive: Active coolers use a fan to dissipate heat, while passive coolers rely on heatsinks and natural convection.
-
3D-VC heat sinks: Utilize a combination of VC and heat pipes to connect the internal cavity and achieve refrigerant reflux through a capillary structure, completing heat conduction. The multi-dimensional cooling path allows 3D-VC heat sinks to come into contact with more heat sources and provide more heat dissipation paths when dealing with high power devices.
-
Airflow: Adequate chassis airflow is crucial to maximize cooling performance. Dynatron N6 Cooler with aluminum stacked fins with heat pipes directly contacting CPU suitable for cooling Intel Socket LGA 4189-4/5 (Socket P4/P5 or P+) motherboards in a 3U Chassis.
-
Noctua options: Noctua offers CPU coolers for Intel’s LGA4189 Xeon platform. The latest revision for LGA4189 comprises 14, 12 and two 9cm models, covering anything from spacious workstation cases to 4U rack-mount servers.
The optimal LGA4189 CPU cooler depends on the server’s specific cooling requirements and operating environment. When selecting an LGA4189 CPU cooler, consider the thermal requirements of your CPU, the available space within the server chassis, and the desired noise level.
