The new Alder Lake “No-K” CPUs are just around the corner, and with it details are beginning to leak out not only about the performance of their CPUs, but also about the heatsinks that will accompany them. A few days ago, images of the “Laminar RM1” heatsink were leaked, which will be included by Intel along with the Core i3, i5, and i7, and now the Twitter user “Catsarestillpr1” shared some images of the “Laminar RH1” heatsink that will accompany the Core i9 “No-K”, that is, the i9-12900 and the i9-12900F.
As seen in the images, the “Laminar RH1” will have a much more solid base than the “Laminar RM1” to help dissipate the extra heat generated by the Core i9 and its 16 cores and 24 threads. In addition, its edges will not be acrylic, but will also be aluminum, expanding the dissipation surface.
In addition to these improvements in terms of heatsink, another big improvement that we would like to see in the other low-end heatsinks is the anchor. It includes an anchor with metal screws that fit into a backplate included with the heatsink instead of using the plastic locks system that had so many complaints during all these years, having a much more solid and simple anchor. This is something that Intel should implement at least from the Core i5 line up, and finally put aside the system with plastic anchors that it has been using for years.
It will be interesting to see the performance numbers for this heatsink two weeks from now when these new CPUs are released, seemingly hitting the market on January 5, a day after their announcement at CES 2022. There we’ll see if it really keeps the Core cool. i9-12900 or if even with these improvements it is necessary to replace it with a third-party heatsink, which is most likely.
