Key Features
- [Better CPU Cooling] Adopting full purple copper mirror plane base + 360 specification black aluminium fins cold plate + polymer compilation protection water pipe + standard configuration 120mm performance argb fan, to create a low resistance, low noise, high thermal efficiency of the one-piece water-cooled cooler.
- [Triple PWM Fans] Water-cooling cooler with TL-M12Q fan, speed up to 2000RPM±10%, size 124*120*25mm,noise ≤ 28.2DBA, interface: 4pin PWM, air pressure: 2.21mmH2O(MAX), airflow: 68.9CFM(MAX), S-FDB bearing can Solve the problem of fan blade shaking in hanging mode, with PWM and ARGB function, can automatically adjust the speed according to the CPU temperature, which can provide powerful airflow and lower noise, ARGB light colour can be manually adjusted light colour.
- [ARGB Synchronisation] The ARGB of the cpu fan and water-cooling header is synchronised with the 5V 3pin on the motherboard to achieve light synchronisation, with 1600W soft light effects, providing rich lighting effects while cooling efficiently, and supporting serial connection of light effects to avoid insufficient light slots.
- [High Performance Cold Head] Adopting 0.1mm pitch high quality copper base, plus an anodized sandblasted aluminium alloy cover and high strength acrylic top cover with mirror plating reflective process, to create an exclusive pump head with a speed of up to 2,800RPM±10%, which ensures excellent cooling of the CPU.
