The Xigmatek Air Killer Pro ARGB CPU Cooler dissipates 160W of thermal energy through four direct-touch copper pipes. This tower unit fits LGA1700 and AM5 sockets to maintain stable operating temperatures during high-load tasks. Under heavy processing, the 120mm PWM fan regulates airflow to stop thermal throttling.
Key Features
- Direct-Touch Pipes: Four 6mm copper heat pipes contact the CPU surface directly. This reduces heat resistance for faster thermal transfer.
- Internal Controller: A 3-button Mini LED controller switches 85 lighting modes. It operates without requiring a 5V ARGB motherboard header.
- 190W TDP Support: Clips mount a second 120mm fan to increase cooling capacity. This configuration handles overclocked processors without hitting thermal limits.
- Steel Backplate: Reinforced steel construction supports the heatsink's physical weight. It prevents PCB flex during long-term use in vertical builds.
- Hydraulic Bearing: Under the 50,000-hour MTTF rating, the fan minimizes mechanical friction. The motor stays quiet even with road dust/pollution exposure.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Xigmatek Air Killer Pro compatible with LGA 1700?
The mounting hardware includes specific brackets for LGA 1700 and AM5 sockets. It provides the necessary pressure for effective thermal contact on these newer platforms.
What is the TDP of Xigmatek Air Killer Pro?
A single-fan setup handles 160W of heat. Adding a second fan pushes the thermal limit to 190W for higher-tier CPUs.
