We believe that between the $110 Noctua NH-P1 and the $15 Alpine 12 Passive there is room for a $80 option designed for 65W processors. Granted, this 1kg circular heat sink featuring 8mm copper heat pipes and thick perforated aluminum fins would be quite challenging to manufacture. In fact, it would probably need peripheral reinforcement to retain its structural integrity. But such a cooler could a game changer. Special thanks to the amazingly talented Noah Beerstecher for these renders based on our 2018 sketch.
