How hot they get depends on how hard you push them, I have 3590s with passive heat sinks with no fans.

@sixstring or @REALSTYLES would be the ones to ask about that, I would think that any heatsink with a fan that it would fit onto correctly would cool it unless you were pushing it to 100watts or more.

What did you say about me lol. I'd go passive sinks at the current trying to be ran.

Would it be a good idea to mount a cxb3590 on an Arctic Alpine 11 plus? Would that supply sufficient active cooling for that size cob? And finally, if its a 12v .25A fan, could I put 4 of these in a fan hub then use a 12v 1A DC/AC wall wart and it would work? Thanks for the help everyone!

Well if you are going to be using a holder for the 3590, it might be a real tight fit. These aren,t entirely flat as you are probably aware....I had just enough space with 3070s and the holders....

But I would have no problem hanging 100w or more from single arctic, they are 400 gram slug beasts.


But mechatronix is an easier active solution too....no drilling etc....

Yes the wall wart at 1a will power 250ma fans when wired in Parallel. Peace.
