Akasa today rolled out the Soho H6L, a "C-type" low-profile aluminium fin-stack CPU cooler (model: AK-CC4025HP01). With its fan in place, the cooler stands at just 67.2 mm tall. The cooler's design involves an aluminium monoblock heatsink, from which six 6 mm-thick nickel-plated copper heatpipes emerge, conveying heat through an aluminium fin-stack that's arranged along the plane of the motherboard. This is ventilated by a 25 mm-thick 120 mm fan.

The fan included with the Akasa Soho H6L features ARGB lighting along the bore of the frame. It turns between 500 to 2,000 RPM, pushing up to 52.91 CFM of airflow, with a maximum noise output of 31.8 dBA. The fan features hydro-dynamic bearing. The cooler measures 120 mm x 120 mm x 67.2 mm (WxDxH), weighing 584.4 g. Among the CPU socket types supported are AM4 and LGA1200. Interestingly, LGA1700 isn't supported. The company didn't reveal pricing.

Interestingly-enough, these might be making a comeback for SFF PCs; With the increase in TDP of new CPUs, AIO cooling of CPUs just leaves the motherboard VRM cooling as a problem in cramped mITX cases with low clearance for CPU coolers.

Top-down coolers like this solve the problem of VRM cooling quite elegantly without taking up much room.
