AeroFlow FX 120

Premium Copper Heat-Pipe Direct Touch (HDT) CPU Cooler with 120mm PWM Fan

The Vantec AeroFlow FX 120 is a high performance CPU cooler. It incorporates a specialized 8mm diameter copper heat-pipe for optimum heat transfer. With its unique Heat-Pipe Direct Touch Technology (HDT), the heat-pipe is in direct contact with the processor and minimizes thermal resistance. Combine with a powerful 120mm PWM fan and fan vibration dampener, the thin & lightweight heat sink design allows the fan to easily dissipate the heat accumulated and minimizes noise. Excellent compatibility with its 3-in-1 mounting bracket, the Vantec AeroFlow FX 120 is a perfect choice for keeping your processor cool.
