We show some of them below. The first prototype is a low-profile solution for small form factor (SFF) and home theater PCs (HTPCs) that uses one 92 mm fan below the main heatsink and allows you to install a 120 mm fan on top of the heatsink. When only the 92 mm fan is installed, the cooler is only 2.6” (66 mm) tall. With the two fans installed, the cooler is 3.6” (91 mm) tall. It features six heatpipes. click to enlarge The next prototype is a huge drawdraft model supporting two 120 mm fans, with seven heatpipes and 20% more surface area than the NH-D14. It allows you to have memory modules up to 2.8” (70 mm) tall. Noctua is still working on this design.
