Know before you buy
This cooler supports a wide range of modern sockets, including Intel LGA 1700, 1200, 115x, 2011, and 2066, as well as AMD AM4, AM5, and sTR4 platforms.
No, the cooler comes with high-quality thermal compound pre-applied to the copper cold plate, allowing for a quick and straightforward installation right out of the box.
All lighting effects and fan performance profiles are managed through Corsair's iCUE software. This digital control allows you to customize the 16 LEDs on the pump head and fine-tune your cooling curves.
Yes, the AF ELITE PWM fans are designed for quiet operation, with a noise range of 5 to 28.9 dBA. At lower speeds, the cooler is virtually silent, making it suitable for noise-sensitive environments.
The radiator measures 277mm x 120mm x 27mm. Before purchasing, check your case specifications to ensure it supports a 240mm radiator mount, typically found at the top or front of most mid-tower chassis.
The fluid dynamic bearings in the AF ELITE fans reduce friction and wear compared to standard sleeve bearings. This results in a longer lifespan, improved reliability, and quieter operation over time.
