TL;DR Summary
How to design CPU Cooler attached on Aluminum Panel ?
Im now drawing sheet metal blueprints, which has a feature like attachable of Commonly use of CPU Cooler.
The product that i want to attach is Cooler master Hyper T4.
is there any information about standard dimension for regular cpu cooler installation ?

No. It varies with each CPU manufacturer and each CPU part number.

The cooler mfg. may have detail drawings available, but don't count on it.
The CPU mfg. often has drawings showing size and shape of the heat transfer area and the amount of force needed for adequate heat transfer, along with flatness requirements.

Even the CPU cooling fans, same brand, same part No., may have different mounting details and even reversed air flows.

It's the Wild West out there!

Good luck.

Cheers,
Tom

Coolers will change. You will need to purchase a selection and look for common factors.
I think the best you will get is the Cooler Master data sheet;

Thanks for reply!
i noticed CPU cooler is attachable with each brands of cpu manufacturers standards
Like AMD AM1 FM1
and almost all of this was has 75x75mm length ..
so I'm trying to attach it together now
 

1. How does a CPU cooler attached on an Aluminum Panel work?

A CPU cooler attached on an Aluminum Panel works by using a combination of heat pipes, fins, and fans to dissipate heat generated by the CPU. The heat pipes absorb the heat from the CPU and transfer it to the fins, which are attached to the Aluminum Panel. The fans then blow air over the fins, cooling them and dissipating the heat into the surrounding environment.

2. What are the benefits of using an Aluminum Panel for a CPU cooler?

There are several benefits to using an Aluminum Panel for a CPU cooler. Aluminum is a lightweight and durable material, making it easy to handle and transport. It also has excellent thermal conductivity, meaning it can efficiently transfer heat away from the CPU. Additionally, aluminum is corrosion-resistant, making it a long-lasting option for a CPU cooler.

3. How do I choose the right size of Aluminum Panel for my CPU cooler?

The size of the Aluminum Panel for a CPU cooler will depend on the size of your CPU and the specific design of the cooler. Generally, the panel should be large enough to cover the entire surface area of the CPU and have enough space for the heat pipes, fins, and fans. It is best to consult the specifications of your CPU cooler to determine the appropriate size of the panel.

4. Can I attach a CPU cooler to an Aluminum Panel myself?

Yes, it is possible to attach a CPU cooler to an Aluminum Panel yourself. However, it is recommended to have some technical knowledge and experience with building computers. It is important to follow the instructions provided by the CPU cooler manufacturer and ensure that the panel is securely attached to avoid any damage to the CPU or other components.

5. What are some important factors to consider when designing a CPU cooler attached on an Aluminum Panel?

Some important factors to consider when designing a CPU cooler attached on an Aluminum Panel include the size and shape of the panel, the placement of the heat pipes and fins, and the type and speed of the fans. It is also crucial to consider the compatibility of the cooler with your specific CPU and the overall airflow and ventilation of your computer system.
