Dual-Chamber Pump Performance

The patented dual-chamber pump refines water flow. It increases pressure directly to the CPU hotspot. This design aims for stable temperatures under load. Because the chambers separate motor heat, coolant stays cooler. This helps maintain consistent performance during long sessions.

Low-Noise Cooling for Quiet Rigs

The fan noise level max is 27.2 dB. The pump noise level is 25 dB. These figures suit quiet office or living room builds. Also, the rifle bearing fans offer durability. However, actual noise depends on case acoustics and fan curves.

Flexible Installation and Orientation

The pump cover rotates for perfect alignment. This helps in cases with limited clearance. The 40 cm tubes allow top or front radiator mounting. Because brackets are pre-mounted, fitting is straightforward. In practice, this reduces build time significantly.

Wide CPU Socket Compatibility

Support includes Intel LGA 1851, 1700, 1200, and older 115x series. AMD AM4 and AM5 sockets are also covered. This makes the kit suitable for new and existing UK builds. Always check your specific CPU model before purchase.

RGB Lighting Customisation

Illumination is available in Red, Green, and Blue. The LEDs are integrated into the pump cap. This adds a modern touch without extra cables. However, the input does not state software control compatibility. Please verify motherboard RGB software support.
