- [Dual-tower Dual-fan Cooling] The cpu air cooler is equipped with high-speed dual fans, 1850RPM speed + 88.89CFM large air volume, which can easily dissipate CPU temperature. The cpu fan has PWM intelligent temperature control function, and there is no need to manually adjust the fixed speed. The soft corner pads around the fan can reduce the vibration noise generated during fan operation
- [Good Heat Dissipation] The CPU cooling is mainly composed of a digital version of a dual tower + double fans + a magnetic top cover. The 6 pure copper heat pipes and the pure copper base can well contact the temperature of the CPU, with the combination of a high speed of 1850RPM, the radiator has a good heat dissipation effect
- [162mm Height] The overall height of the heatsink cooler is 162mm, which is compatible with mainstream ATX chassis. The radiator adopts an overall white style, and the digital display board design of the magnetic top cover opens up a new world of heat dissipation, combining the high heat dissipation function of the radiator with innovative technology. The overall design of the dual tower and dual fans is compatible with the installation of high-capacity memory and graphics cards
- [Wide Compatibility] The cpu cooling is compatible with platforms: AMD: AM4/AM5 and LGA1851/1700/1150/1151/1155/1156/1200, and comes with dual-platform mounting clips, which can be well installed on the corresponding platform. It can be installed according to the instructions or installation tutorial. (Note: The installation of the AMD platform requires the use of the original backplane of the motherboard, which is not included with this product)
- [Magnetic Digital Display Board] The ARGB digital display board on the magnetic top cover can grasp the temperature and occupancy information of the CPU and graphics card. Combined with the TRCC control software, the color switching of the temperature numbers can be realized
