Features:
• An improved copper cold plate with increased fin volume and water channels optimised for heat dissipation.
• An improved VRM fan that is larger and has an adaptive speed range of between 400 – 2500 RPM.
• 38mm thick aluminium radiator featuring an increased fin stack and pre-installed 120mm Arctic P series ARGB high static pressure fans.
• The Intel mount includes an LGA 1700 contact frame to ensure the CPU is evenly locked in the socket for improved contact with the CPU cooler base.
• Two connecting cables allow for users to individually connect the fan, pump and VRM for independent control or an all-in-one connector to control the whole unit via a single motherboard fan header.
