I have a H60 now in the Silverstone FTZ01. I'm extremely interested in how well this will perform. I've had to replace the stock fan with a NF-A12x15 and it barely fits.
I have the IS-50 in the Silverstone ML08 (which specifies 58mm limit for CPU cooler). The stock fans transition from ~1450 to 1600rpm is noticeable, and I got to lower my 8700K to 3.9GHz to keep it under the 100% fan speed (estimated 65W continuous, in 80-90C range). With the Noctua NF-A12x15, it's much better at 100%, and temps hover in 90C range, with 75-80W continuous power at stock settings (6x4.3GHz). Workload was ffmpeg h265 transcoding.
So, from this experience, 130W TDP may mean 130W spike but half for continuous work.
"When it comes to compatibility, the ID Cooling IS-50X cooler is compatible with all contemporary platforms from AMD and Intel, including the latest AM4 and LGA1155 sockets."
Uhm LGA 1155 was a socket for sandy/Ivy bridge. Interesting cooler either way, reminds me a bit old Scythe's Big shuriken but with better memory clearance.

Dang, too tall for the DAN-A4 case...Nephtys - Wednesday, July 17, 2019 - link

Those low profile ID cooling fans are actually awful. I had 100% failure rate on mine.Rinny - Wednesday, July 17, 2019 - link
Any recommendations for the 2700x? I've had to turn off hyperthreading since ambient temp during the summer is high.GreenReaper - Thursday, July 18, 2019 - link
Try undervolting it? Be sure to stress test it with varying loads and be prepared to back off, though.TheWereCat - Thursday, July 18, 2019 - link
What do you mean by 100% failure rate?You had one fan and it wasn't working?

Tee! Hee! I know right? Let's qualify that statement.mathew7 - Thursday, July 18, 2019 - link

The main advantage I see over my Scythe Big Shuriken 2 Rev. B is direct-touch heatpipes. I wish the Scythe had those.Solidstate89 - Thursday, July 18, 2019 - link
Damn. Still too tall to fit inside of a Node 202.jabbadap - Thursday, July 18, 2019 - link

Any chance AT will be reviewing this heatsink? That's such a tiny heat sink and fan for 130w, it would be interesting to see how it does.
