DHT (Direct Heatpipe Touch)
The DTH (Direct Touch Heatpipe) adapts new technology which heatpipe is contacted with the GPU directly. The heatpipe absorbs heat from the GPU, so cooling performance is excellent.
GPU base block and Mounting Hole
The GPU base block is adjusted as suitable size for the easy installation and efficient performance. The GPU block base with 6mm heatpipe influences the high cooling performance of the Freezer cooler.
80mm Cooling Fan
80mm Cooling Fan adapted hydromantic bearing method which allows less friction and prevents dust from entering. Noise level is low and a long lifetime.
Aluminum Heatsink
A lot of aluminum heatsink enhances heat emission capacity. Wide radiation plate maximizes the cooling performance.
