【AGHP technique】7x6mm heatpipe with AGHP upgraded 4th generation technology, the Inverse gravity effect caused by vertical / horizontal orientation.Up to 20000 hours of industrial service life, S-FDB bearings ensure long service life of air-cooler radiators. UL class a safety insulation low-grade, industrial strength PBT + PC material to create high-quality products for you. The height is 154mm, compatible with a wide range of chassis models.

【Double PWM Fans】 TL-C12B-S V2; The light connections are 5V 3pin ARGB.Standard size industrial grade PWM performance PC fan: 120x120x25mm; Fan speed (RPM): 1500rpm±10%; Power port: 4-pin; Voltage: 12V; Air flow: 66.17CFM (max); Noise level ≤25.6dB(A), high performance fan combined with efficient heat dissipation The cooling body of the unit gives you the best cooling effect.

【Compatibility】CPU cooling slot support: Intel: LGA1700/1851/1150/1151/1155/1156/1200, AMD: AM4/AM5; for different CPU slot platforms, provide the corresponding mounting plate or fasteners, can be combined with the installation instructions or follow the tutorial to get on the machine.

【Product specification】 Phantom Spirit120 SE ARGB; CPU Cooler dimensions:125(L)x135(W)x154(H)mm (4.92x5.31x 6.06 inch); heat sink material: aluminum,the main body is made of anodized black frosted top + finely carved pure copper base technology, avoiding the memory design, the main body is fully aluminum fins, bringing maximum heat dissipation area, combined with the high thermal conductivity of the thermal paste, which can perfectly perform the cooler's most powerful cooling effect.

【Excellent LED light】 The high-brightness LED atomizing argb fan blade can effectively reflect the light, making the ARGB lighting effect softer, and it matches the cooler and case more perfectly. Up to 17 modes of light effects with ARGB support, color can be managed and synchronized through the port on motherboard.
