The Prolimatech Samuel 17 is the only cooler in our test field that doesn't include a fan, which would make a hefty price harder to justify if this heat sink was still readily available. It doesn't seem to be, though.If you are able to get your hands on o...
Compact and small, Attractive, Good Build quality, Full tube of included thermal paste
Heatsink should give more clearance, needs to be raised higher, Mediocre cooling performance, many better options for the same price, No included fan, expensive to buy your own, Subjective Issues, Fan overhang on the heatsink – cools VRM or wasted airflow
The Samuel 17 is Prolimatech's first venture into the low profile CPU cooler market and it isn't an good start. The Samuel 17 just doesn't square up with the competition and is left trailing in the distance. In providing six heat pipes on such a small he...
With the Samuel 17, Prolimatech shows a perfectly manufactured and beatifully crafted low profile cooler The fact that the block only measures 45 millimeters in height makes it compatible to all HTPCs cases as well as small desktops From such a compact c...
Well manufactured and designed, Fan overhang allows great cooling for the components it sits over, Great fan compatibility,
Hard to find in some areas, AMD mounting limits orientation, Too much pressure when mounting screws are bottomed out

Some time ago, high-performance computers had to use huge cases, and small cases were seen as a signal of a "weak" computer. Nowadawys, however, Home Teather PCs (HTPCs) are getting more and more common, and high-performance computers can be easily bu...
Abstract: While an excellent performer on its own, the Prolimatech Samuel 17 fell a few degrees short of toppling the widely available and affordable Scythe Big Shuriken. The Samuel 17 is really only superior in two ways, the first being its size. Though it's about the same height as the Big Shuriken, it's shorter by 15 and 5 mm in the other two dimensions — this may..
So is the Prolimatech Samuel 17 a modern day David? Erm, well not quite. The inevitable result is that a larger tower cooler will outpace this cooler with ease. This however is not the cooler's aim; try performance per cubic centimetre. For those that wa...
