Know before you buy
The cooler stands 159mm tall. You should check your case's specifications for the maximum CPU cooler clearance to ensure the side panel can close properly.
Yes, it features a versatile mounting system designed to support a wide range of current Intel and AMD sockets. We recommend checking your specific motherboard socket type against the product documentation to confirm compatibility.
The fan operates at a maximum noise level of 36 dBA. Because it uses PWM control, the speed adjusts between 600 and 2000 RPM based on your CPU temperature, keeping noise minimal during light tasks and ramping up only when necessary.
The cooler uses a simplified mounting system designed for straightforward installation. Depending on your specific case's backplate access, you may be able to install it without removing the motherboard, though it is always easier to do so with the board outside the chassis.
These heat pipes are engineered to improve thermal conductivity compared to standard designs. By moving heat away from the CPU more efficiently, they allow the heatsink to dissipate thermal energy faster, which helps maintain lower temperatures under load.
