FAQs

Does this cooler fit in most mid-tower cases?

With a height of 154mm, it fits the vast majority of standard mid-tower cases, but always check your case's CPU cooler clearance specification.

Is the installation difficult?

The installation is straightforward for those familiar with custom builds, though the dual-tower design can be tight in small spaces.

Can I replace the fans?

Yes, the unit uses standard 120mm fans that can be swapped if necessary, provided they use a standard 4-pin connector.

Does it support the latest AM5 processors?

Yes, the included mounting kit provides full support for the AMD Socket AM5 platform.

How do I maintain the finish?

Use a soft, dry brush or compressed air to remove dust. Avoid using liquid cleaners on the heatsink fins.

Troubleshooting

CPU temperatures are higher than expected.

Verify that the thermal paste is applied evenly and that the cooler is mounted with sufficient pressure.

Fans are running at full speed constantly.

Check your motherboard BIOS settings to ensure the fan connector is set to PWM control mode.

Excessive vibration or noise.

Ensure all mounting screws are tightened correctly and that the fan cables are not brushing against the fan blades.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation involves securing the provided mounting kit to your motherboard using the included screws. Before mounting, ensure your case can accommodate the 125mm x 110mm x 154mm dimensions to avoid clearance issues with side panels. Compatibility includes Intel LGA 1150, 1151, 1155, 1156, 1200, 1700, and AMD Socket AM4 and AM5. To maintain performance, clean dust buildup from the cooling fins and fan blades using compressed air every 6 months to ensure unobstructed airflow.
