Key Features

• [Cooling Performance] The CPU cooler is a dual-tower, dual-fan structure with a white anodised frosted top cover + 6 fully plated heatpipes + precision reflow soldered micro-engraved copper base, paired with a 2000RPM high RPM PWM fan, which easily disperses CPU temperatures and further enhances the cooling efficacy of the cooler.
• [Memory Avoidance Design] Considering the limitation of memory height, the cooler adopts a cut corner processing design that avoids memory, allowing the fan to be free from memory obstruction when installing the fan, and if the memory height exceeds too much, the fan can be installed upwards. The asymmetrical design of the dual tower cooler is compatible with PCle graphics cards or motherboard heatsinks.
• [AGHP Heat Pipe Technology] 6x6mm heat pipes with AGHP technology can be a good solution to the effects of reverse gravity due to the two mounting orientations of upright/lying. Precision reflow soldered micro-engraved copper base, combined with fully plated heatpipes, and aluminium fins in the twin tower body, together with high performance fans, further enhance the cooling effect.
• [157mm Cooling Height] The overall height of the CPU ice cooler is 157mm, which makes it compatible with more cases. All-aluminium fins on the main body for greater cooling area
• [Wide Compatibility] CPU air cooler is compatible with dual-platform slots: Intel LGA 1851/1700/1150/1151/1155/1156/1200; AMD: AM4/AM5; The pc cooler comes with mounting accessories, which can be installed according to the installation video or instructions. (Note: For AMD platform, you need to use the original backplate of the motherboard for installation)
