Seven high-performance copper heat pipes

Overall dimensions without Mounting material (L x w x H): 5.7 x 5.35 x 6.40 inch

Airflow-optimized cooling fins; cutouts enhance the RAM compatibility.

Sleek Finishing: Anodized gun-metal black with brushed aluminum surface finish to the top cover for a more refined look

Nickle Black: The nickel plated jet black also enhances radiation cooling performance

Direct contact technology: 4 Heat Pipe with exclusive direct contact technology effectively provides excellent heat dissipation; Air flow: 57.3 CFM; Noise level: 30.0 decibels

Precise Air Flow: Stacked fin array ensures least airflow resistance which allows cooler air flow into the heat sink

RGB LED controller: The wired RGB LED controller allows for customizable colors and effects with just the touch of a button

ARGB Lighting Sync: The RGB of cooler can sync with motherboard via 5V 3-Pin port, customize lights your builds and components.

PWM Smart Control: 4-Pin PWM cable allows for dynamic speed adjustment between 800-1700 RPM, min noise or max airflow.

Better Thermal Conductivity: 5 direct-contact heat pipes, high-density aluminium fins and larger copper base provide the great thermal conductivity and maintain cooling operation.

Low Noise Operation: 9 fan blades and 8 vibration rubber pads provide the better silent experience and great airflow for the case and components.

Support Sockets: Intel LGA 1700/1200/1156/1155/1151/1150; AMD: AM5/AM4/AM3+/AM3/AM2+/AM2/FM2+/FM2

Supports Motherboard Socket: AM4
