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.

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;

Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'

Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'

We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
