This is why full cover blocks for MB are awesome. Normally you would just add unnecessary heat to the loop by cooling the not so temperature-sensitive VRMs, but when there's no airflow in a tiny case, cooling them with water works well.
Excellent Idea!!! I'd been looking for a solution to excess VRM heat in my ITX build. I didn't know Baby Nocs existed. The only issue is not having enough headers so this baby's airflow can be individually controlled. Excellent video. New sub.
The NF-A4x20 is a beast! One of the best fans Noctua makes, for real. I have bunch of 10GBps switches at work that were crazy loud, and it turns out they had those industrial Delta 40mm fans.. Great fans, but LOUD. Replaced them all with the A4x20 and now they're almost silent while still performing well within spec. Completely amazing! Great video. :)
I enjoyed this video a lot. I have thought about doing this myself at one point or another on certain builds. Thank you for sharing with us what you found from your work.
Commenting 3 years later when Gen5 M.2 SSD's have EVEN WORSE thermal performance and now require stupidly massive metal heatsinks just to function below the throttling point. These little fans now seem like a great idea for even a mid to full size case.
This would be less of a concern if we had finned and heapiped cooling solutions like the old Gigabyte 775 boards. Giant aluminum chunks are not the same.
if that is the case, get one of those old boards and mount their solutions on newer boards. where there's a will there's a way. i made a m.2 heat sink out of a old gtx 460 silent gpu's heat sink. from a 8 gram m.2 heat sink i now have a 16gram m.2 heatsink. and it made a big difference.
Thanks for the vid. Just did my first build where my VRMs are actually overheating. Bad enough I have the cpus underclocked 50%. The motherboard even came with decent heatsinks which many motherboards lack entirely. Gonna try some of these little fans tomorrow. Crossing my fingers. Without active cooling, the vrms start to run away at ~90° which they hit instantly under a full load. Ironically the epyc milan cpus arent ever even reaching 70°. I'm really hoping I don't have to buy a new case solely chosen for providing optimal VRM cooling. Last resort will be getting a case with mesh top/bottom or vertical mobo mounting to add airflow focused over the VRMs instead of. Lesson Learned! High TDP = always research the mobo VRMs and have a cooling plan for them ahead of time
In Steve Carrell's Gru Voice: "TEENY-TINY VENTILATORS" I was actually thinking swapping the chipset's fan on my ASRock X570 ITX TB3 with one of these, gonna give it try if the stock one is going to be too loud! Maybe I even remove it completely since I'll have the CPU cooler blowing over it anyway. 🤔
I actually need those fans hahaha this is great Noctua is the gift that keeps giving. I washed my case badge in the washer like a dumbass and they sent me a new one for free!
I sent an email to ordervone,3 days later they said they are swamped with orders. I will check back in the summer,I still have a my Dan A4 V2(R5 3600X/32Gb/RTX 2080S Black/B450 ITX Asus/1Tb 960Evo) but want the Sidearm T1 badly!
Nice content man! I'm not in the SFF camp yet (might switch when Ryzen 4000 comes out), but I love drooling over these crazy cool tiny ITX setups. And these useful tips are always appreciated.
This can definitely happen on larger builds. I upgraded my PC to an AIO from the stock AMD CPU cooler and noticed performance go down greatly, which made no sense to me since my CPU temps we're much lower. Turns out the air cooler helped cool the VRMs and with the AIO my VRMs we're hitting 125°C, throttling my CPU greatly. It was a cheap a320 motherboard so the VRMs had essentially no cooling.
I installed the passive EKWB M2 Heatsink on my 960 Evo which sits underneath my Vega56 - it brought Temps down a whopping 30°C from 85-90°C down to 50°C! o.O
@Ziv Zulander I have this model: www.blacknoise.com/site/en/products/noiseblocker-it-fans/nb-blacksilentfan-series/50x50x10mm.php?lang=EN But there is also a(n even) more silent Pro model: www.blacknoise.com/site/en/products/noiseblocker-it-fans/nb-blacksilent-pro-series/60x60x25mm.php?lang=EN
If Speedfan doesn't support your motherboard, like I found, there's a lightweight program called FanControl I found on the LTT forums. Custom fan curves, manual or auto fan/temp linking and all sorts of wicked smart stuff.
SpeedFan does not always work with some newer systems. So I personally use Argus Monitor. It's not free, but it's a very powerful tool and it gets updated regularly
I'd recommend Argus Monitor as a fan speed software over Speedfan. It is paid but totally worth it for its much better user interface with AIO control support coming and a very responsive developer.
NOCTUA should develop a snail-type centrifugal fans in various diameters and thicknesses. It is very strange, however, that they have not yet introduced "snail" fans, which can be used in all sorts of different ways in various similar situations.
I was actually thinking of doing this in my case but was uncertain whether it would make any difference, guess this is a good sign to give it a go... thanks for the video!
I use one of these dinky little fans to cool the on-board X540-T2 10GbE chip on my Supermicro Dual Xeon motherboard which was overheating due to the small heatsink and being located in an otherwise low-airflow space between two expansion cards. Does the job quietly, and no more overtemperature warning errors in the IPMI logs. :)
My Ghost S1 has watercooled gpu/cpu like yours. I have a small tophat in the bottom with a NF-A12x15 PWM placed under the motherboard as intake and the large tophat in the top with 2 NF-A12x25 PWM as exhaust above the radiator to pull the air trough. It works great!
Hello, may I ask what brand of tape did you use for the tiny noctua fans? I want to use the same because it seems like a good brand while directly sitted on a high heat vrm heatsink.
@J Fz The same, with double side ductape and attached to the pump of the asetek 645lt, and the bottom of the case preview.redd.it/okcch2ntyrm31.jpg?width=3840&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=496298c25d026d0eaa08f71ddf4b74645d27fb07
As a general rule of thumb, "Fanless" and "Desktop components" really should not go together in the same sentence, unless you like to throw money at a problem.
Since I really adore your aesthetics I'll share with you this as a tip/suggestion I believe this something that enthusiasts might wanna see featured. Cryorig released some time ago, Frostbit an amazing product that especially targets people going with aluminum fin stack, cools a lot your primary drive looks and it adds some character, nvme's are getting hotter and hotter. as the chips reach higher numbers.... They didn't receive a design award for nothing I mean...
I've considered having something like these mini Noctua fans or a laptop blower fan and some heatsinks added to lower spec motherboard VRMs. Purely because I want everything to run cool. But without spending 500 on a motherboard.
Great video. It is a good idea to have some sort of niche. Keep bringing these videos up, I'd love to learn new tricks as I might do custom PC case ;) Thes little Noctuas are so expensive :( I've noticed that one good way of fixing the temps is saving money during the winter. It is 8 deg C in my room right now and my CPU idles at 22 C :)
So my question is and I am new to building computers especially one with fans. For the nvme you have the fan blowing towards the heat sink? Is it not better to buy an nvme active cooler? Last time I built a computer was 2001, just in case you are wondering.
Running a R9-3900x on a B450M-Pro4 (budget board). Got some nice fujipoly 11W/mK thermal pads for the vrm heatsinks, put 2 Noctua 40x10's on each vrm with some zipties. VRMs stay frosty and my 3900X boosts to 4.2GHz all core, all day long, no issues. Didn't see any zipties in the video though...how'd you mount them so cleanly???
RAHHH chipset temperature monitoring, alternative fan, etc...just reminds me period of X58 chipset, 10 years ago...:D Well I'm far from being ready to come back to active cooling on chipset.
I putted a tiny fan on the backplate, of the CPU. this help reducing the heat there, and few points on the CPU too. the SSD attached on the back of the case are also cooler now. conclusion: fans everywhere!!!!! :P
OOoooo, I was wondering what was causing the stuttering! I placed these small fans over my 4-channel RAM DIMMS and that fixed the issue of BSoDs I was seeing while gaming, and *helped* with the stuttering [guessing the nearby increase in airflow is doing some VRM cooling?]. My board (ASUS PRIME X299-DELUXE) has a pretty beefy heat-sink on the VRMs, would it be best to leave that in place and add a fan that blows over it, or remove the heat-sink and add the fan?
If you remove the heat sink, you also remove a lot of thermal mass as well as surface area for cooling the VRMs. You are better off with cooling the heatsink itself, unless the heatsink is not conducting adequately, which might be an issue with thermal pads instead.
@@MonMalthias Thanks for the advice! On my ASUS MB, I have a VRM heatsink which is basically a solid block of aluminum with only 7 "fins" that are only cut into the block about 1/16" deep. I put a 4" fan blowing down onto that block, and I'm seeing no more in-game stuttering! Unfortunately, I just have the fan sort of precariously hanging above, so I'd like to try a better design, which brings me back to the idea of using individual heatsinks with more surface area per MOSFET, vs the single block as thermal mass. If I use two of the smaller Noctua fans, blowing up over the individual heat sinks, do you think that would be better or worse than using the existing thermal block? THANKS!
@@ZacMorris In general, more surface area = more cooling, so it's worth a shot. Heatsinks are quite cheap, especially small ones, so the more the merrier.
@@MonMalthias Thanks! I decided to leave the heavy thermal-mass heatsink, but I just attached a bunch of tiny chip heatsinks to that, which seems to help dissipate heat more! I also use this specific little SSD heatsink/fan combos, and I didn't realize that it was sharing a thermal block that also cools the PCH [Which I was incorrectly reading as the PSU!] so I cut a new large fin heatsink that fits above my SSD and that brought the PCH down from 59C to 37C! I now have everything running in the 30C-40C range at full game load, and no more stuttering!
I wonder what the long term cooking effect will be on the double stick tape, when they are affixed directly to the fin array. The fin array is dissipating heat by convection and that radiated heat will transfer directly to the tape via conduction once it's stuck directly to the heat sink.
Whats you opinion on Alphacool Solo vs Alphacool solo LT? My case has preety limited space, thats why i want sff pump res combo. I guess easyier to fill up the loop with the alphacool solo!?
Going to add a few of these to the exhaust vent of my fractal design node 202, vrms are getting super hot and with only a noctua l9a cooling the ryzen 5 2600 they will assist in pushing that hot air out
That double side tape won't last long (a year or two if you're very lucky), especially if you didn't heat treat it during application. The gray 3m stuff is best here, avoid the white stuff entirely.
On ASUS Rog Strix Z790-E, it includes a bracket to mount on top of motherboard facing towards the bottom of your motherboard at DDR5. In the manual it’s 2.1.5 and 2.1.6 would you put that 50mm ram fan as intake and exhaust? I see the vrm 40mm fan in manual appears as blowing down on top of the black protective cover of the vrm area, is that accurate?
I have a Louqe Ghost S1 system with a skinny Rtx 2070 card and i was thinking about buying those fans for gpu chamber at top side. However i didn't know about their speed and now i am shocked. 3500 rpm way too much and i can't believe that bearing will remain quiet. You say they are inaudible at 3500 rpm but i am still sceptical. I wanted those for lower gpu fan noise anyway. Thank you for the review. Cheers!
Funny that this is not a well known thing. That's why everybody should start out with FX systems xD in my case, you MUST cool those vrm's, otherwise they reach 105 degrees celsius in 5 seconds flat, and the cpu gets throttled to 1.4GHz also the thing with speedfan is that it sometimes doesn't want to control fans based on different sensors. For example, if i try to control my fans using the VRM temperature sensor, the fans just go full blast.
Now to wait 5 years for chromax version of them
@Riley Makai nobody will fall for it, botting one positive comments doesnt really change anything
Optimistic.
May the prediction come true
Did they make em?
i bought 2 of those tiny little fans just because they so cute xD (and who knows maybe i'll need em one day )
😂😂😂😂😂😂🤦🏻♂️

I wouldn't remove the back sticker, it keeps the lube of the spinning gear inside the fan ...
And dust out as well :)
The mounted double sided tape serves as the "sticker". It seals the hole.
Those fans don't have such hole on them
Arctic's AIOs with fans in the pump blowith towards the vrm are the future
Sounds like a great way to get full speed Gen 4 pcie storage flowing w/o backing up the pipeline!
When Optimum Tech uploads my heart overheats.
This is heart warming☺️
Stick a fan on it, superfan!
I enjoyed this video a lot. I have thought about doing this myself at one point or another on certain builds. Thank you for sharing with us what you found from your work.
omg, those small fans is more expensive than two of my 120mm fans lol

You know I would totally buy that and just put it on my desk as a decoration reflecting my enthusiasm with pc building. It's just so cute.

I fixed a tiny noiseblocker fan with zip ties in my Fractal Design R6 directly above my GPU to push hot air away from my M.2. It works well.

I have an Arctic Liquid Freezer II 280mm which has a built in VRM fan. It's pretty good :)
these fans are so expensive, but so good. Put two of these into my CCTV DVR. Fantastic performance, and hardly audible (with low voltage adapter)
PWM signals makes coil wine in many fans especially at lower speed to overcome it using voltage step down adapter cable is a good idea test this.
I'd recommend Argus Monitor as a fan speed software over Speedfan. It is paid but totally worth it for its much better user interface with AIO control support coming and a very responsive developer.
Thanks a million for this video. What kind of tape did you use to stick the fan to the VRM part?
Brilliant as always... 👍😎
NOCTUA should develop a snail-type centrifugal fans in various diameters and thicknesses.
It is very strange, however, that they have not yet introduced "snail" fans, which can be used in all sorts of different ways in various similar situations.
I was actually thinking of doing this in my case but was uncertain whether it would make any difference, guess this is a good sign to give it a go... thanks for the video!

I have the 40x10mm Noctua Fan on a Dell PERC H200 RAID Controller, it's very quiet and prevents it from overheating :)

use this fan for overclocking. it can avoid blue screen error

what software you using to check the VRAM temp ?
If you run them at the same RPM side by side, which is quieter, the 10mm or 20mm version?
If ur living in alaska put it outside and your good -10 degrees celsius all overclocked
Which of these 3 fans do you recommend for the H1 case to pull out the air?
5V Versions are perfect for Raspberry Pis :)
yeah, along with the heatsinks :)
On an AsRock Z390 Phantom Gaming-ITX/ac and a L12 with 120mm fan, this is unnecessary because of the fan blowing air onto the VRMs, right?

Hey are you able to do a video with these fans cooling the GPU side of the NZXT H1
Argus Monitor is a much better alternative to Speedfan that I highly recommend btw.
Ancient speedfan? *laughs in Argus Monitor*
Haven't tried the 20mm version, but the 10mm one is relatively noisy for very low cfm. I would only use these if there was no other choice.
Funny that this is not a well known thing. That's why everybody should start out with FX systems xD
in my case, you MUST cool those vrm's, otherwise they reach 105 degrees celsius in 5 seconds flat, and the cpu gets throttled to 1.4GHz
also the thing with speedfan is that it sometimes doesn't want to control fans based on different sensors. For example, if i try to control my fans using the VRM temperature sensor, the fans just go full blast.
you always sound like you're gonna break out in laughter
And in two years we'll get them in black!
Hey Ali!
When is the personal sidearm t1 build coming?
