technical
specifications. Measuring 153 mm (H) x 127 mm (W) x 75.3 mm (L) and weighing 700 grams, it is easy to install in most PC cases. The heatsink utilizes aluminum fins and four U-shape copper heatpipes (6mm diameter each) to rapidly transfer heat away from your CPU. The 120mm PWM fan operates at variable speeds of 500 to 1500 RPM, which can be reduced to 400–1100 RPM using the included Low-Noise Cable (LNC), bringing noise levels down to just 22.1 dBA for ultra-quiet performance.
