Reveen has not made a name for providing high end coolers for heavy overclockers, instead they focus on impressively short coolers for small systems. The Reeven Brontes, including the fan, is a mere 105x59x114mm (4.1×2.1×4.5") and a skinny 325g in weight. The heatsink will mount on any modern motherboard including the new LGA1151 and the PWM fan will allow you control over the speed if noise is a concern. Modders-Inc rather liked the cooler, sure it will not cool a CPU with a 140W TDP but can certainly handle low powered CPUs in SFF cases. One caveat, the 100mm may be hard to replace if it starts to have issues as it is not a common size.
"You cannot really judge how capable a CPU cooler is just by looking at it. If it well-made enough, even size can be deceptive which is good news for those who do not want the bulk of a tower style cooling solution and prefer to save some vertical space, although the question still remains."

In which case, you might be my girlfriend.
Or you have a great need to air cool that overclocked Kabini to 2.6?

It’s implied that if it mounts on LGA 1150, it can on 1151 as well. I think you need to make that clear so that we don’t contribute to the confusion.
