Engine 17 1U Low-Profile CPU Cooler from Thermaltake

Thermaltake is working on a Engine 17 1U Low-Profile CPU Cooler. It features a 17mm height with a compact size 60mm PWM fan, for small form factor applications. The metallic structure (metallic blades and fins) with copper base guarantees extremely quiet, yet powerful operation.

Designed with 17mm height, the Engine 17 is the ideal CPU cooling solution for slim and small form factor applications, such as 1U server, HTPC, AIO/PIO PC, POS terminal and Booksize/Mini PC.

Unlike traditional CPU coolers, the Engine 17 features a metallic structure and copper base that provides more fortified and efficient thermal paths for CPU. The metallic fan is designed to directly pull heat from CPU. Especially, the metallic fan base is engineered with small radial gaps that allow heat to be transferred rapidly to the rotating metallic fan. When the metallic fan blades generate cooling airflow, heat will also be transferred to the flowing air by both rotating fan and stationary fan base at the same time.

Metallic fan with unique 40 blades design is engineered to generate higher airflow passing through the heatsink without sacrificing ultra-silent operation. The metallic blade rotation will create a centrifugal force on ambient air. In the meanwhile, the centrifugal forces will expel hot air so that heat can easily be taken away from the fan blades. Most importantly, this cooling technique can reduce the blade’s noise and vibration because hot air expelled will create a vacuum, and then fresh cooling air will be drawn in the heatsink.
