Seems a good option with a nice low profile. Would like to see if it could really cope with chips with a 140+ TDP. Looks like RAM clearance might be an issue though.

74mm depth is still too much for genuine slim cases, which means it's only really any use in cases with full size expansion slots - at which point your mITX rig rapidly becomes as big as an mATX rig. Plus with a 140mm fan it's going to take up a lot of case area that - in a SFF rig - would house a drive bay.

it's a nice idea, but it looks a bit niche to my mind: they don't seem to have a list of compatible cases either, so it'd be a bit of guesswork as to whether it would fit in any given case...

As the owner of a Silverstone RVZ01 case, I would be interested in this cooler as it's just within the CPU cooler height limitations. Hopefully I can get it sometime in the summer before the heat gets to us.

I'd be more worried about compatibility with ITX motherboards, this wouldn't fit on the 2 I have here and allow the use of the PCIe slot.

I quite like the look of that, would probably end up getting it if I decide to swap out my Noctua L12.

This looks to be too big for a proper small ITX build. It is taller and wider than my Prolimatech Samuel 17 (including fan) and that's as big as I can really go in my Lian-li PC-Q09FN case.
