The low-noise AK-876 utilizes U-shape heatpipes technology for rapid and even heat transfer. A copper base is used for maximum heat absorption; three precision embedded copper heatpipes ensure hi-speed heat transfer and 45 aluminum fine fins for ultimate heat dissipation. 4-pin fan connector with 3-pin compatibility allows for fan power managing via PWM or Cool'n'Quiet and auto fan control. Low-noise 92mm round frame fan provides efficient and quiet cooling. A steel cam-lever retention clip is used for safe and easy attachment. The specific fan positioning enhances the VRM cooling (VRM - CPU Voltage Regulator Modules located on the motherboard). Thermal compound is pre-applied. The AK-876 can be assembled horizontally or vertically as the heatpipes work independently of installation direction.

Compatible With: Socket 940, Socket 939, Socket AM2, Socket F
