How to design a CPU Cooler attached on an Aluminum Panel?

AI Thread Summary
Designing a CPU cooler attached to an aluminum panel requires consideration of varying dimensions across different CPU manufacturers and models. Standard dimensions for cooler installation are not uniform, and while some manufacturers provide detailed drawings, they may not cover all variations. The Cooler Master Hyper T4 is mentioned as a specific model, and users are advised to consult its data sheet for relevant specifications. Additionally, common mounting dimensions, such as the 75x75mm standard for AMD CPUs, can aid in the design process. Overall, flexibility and adaptability in design are essential due to the diverse nature of CPU coolers.

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

Really thanks for your great answer,
Thanks, yeah wild west here

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
 

Thread 'Bubble formation in 4 mm gap vessel'

How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...

Thread 'Find 3D Printer & Software Resources for Prototype Creation'

I'd like to create a thread with links to 3-D Printer resources, including printers and software package suggestions. My motivations are selfish, as I have a 3-D printed project that I'm working on, and I'd like to buy a simple printer and use low cost software to make the first prototype. There are some previous threads about 3-D printing like this: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/are-3d-printers-easy-to-use-yet.917489/ but none that address the overall topic (unless I've missed...
