Product Showcase

The heatsink’s dimensions are 137mm x 169mm x 103mm w/o fans and 144mm x 169mm x 171mm with them. The product itself is rather unique looking if we may say so.

The provided 120 mm fans run at a maximum of 2400 rpm and provide a maximum airflow of 75 CFM.

That’s the theory, but in reality, the range of useful RPMs is a bit broader than the theory (400-2400 rpm according to the manufacturer).

The quality of the CPU base of the heatsink is sufficient. At their lowest point of adjustment, the fans provide approximately 45mm of RAM clearance. Fitting even performance modules is not a problem after you’ve raised the fans a bit.

Here, you can see the XTM50 thermal compound applied in an optimized pattern for better heat transfer. A plastic “cap” protects it nicely during transport.

The top is removable, which significantly helps with the installation process (but we’ll get to that on the next page). You’ll see that the product is actually two towers combined together, rather than a single one.
