Excellent low-prifle cooler, but too noisy for a HTPC
The Dynatron Cooler was the only solution for 2 Mini-ITX projects. In the first project, the problem was the use of an optical drive... I could not use one with a regular copper/aluminum cooler since the drive sat right on top of the cooler fan, so I left out the optical drive. I tried 2 other low-profile coolers, one of which was copper/aluminum construction, with the cooler fan on the bottom, but it was way too wide, and could not be seated onto the CPU. The Dynatron cooler allowed me to install the optical drive with no interference with the cooling.
On the second project, the small Mini-ITX case allows the use of a full-size ATX PSU, but this time, the PSU blocked the cooler, and the wide low-profile cooler did not seat on the CPU. Needless to say, the Dynatron solved this problem as well. The only problem with the Dynatron cooler is the noise level, which is not ideal for a HTPC. I am not using either Mini-ITX PC for home theater, so it is not a problem for me, which is why I give it 5-Stars.
