ThermalTake has actually released one based on the Sandia design (and Cooler Master flirted with this one), but it's not really living on its promises. It works, but there's a lot of non-Sandia designs with comparable size that works as good or even better than ThermalTake's Sandia-like design.

Quote from Steve: "Ultimately, the Engine 27 isn’t a bad cooler – it performs about the same as similarly sized products, so it’s not some crime against humanity. That said, it’s priced significantly out of its performance bracket, and the high-pitched whine at max RPM can get a bit irritating. You’d want to run this at a lower RPM to account for that."

Quote from Linus: "The Thermaltake Engine 27 gets my "Better than Nothing" award for working better than I expected given its size, making it a great option if you don’t have anything else that will fit."
- Nursie 5y agoI have one of those I used in an SFF build, and I like it - it's pretty as well as low-profile. But it's no revolution, and only rated up to 70W. (UK Product page - https://uk.thermaltake.com/engine-27.html https://uk.thermaltake.com/engine-27.html)
