Heat Transfer via Heatpipes
Virtually ever-lasting heatpipes transfer heat away
from the CPU, VGA chipset, and Northbridge chipset
preventing system crashes due to over heating.
- CPU Heatpipes
Heat from the CPU is transferred to the heatsink plate
through 6 heatpipes each 6 millimeters in diameter.
The six heatpipes can transfer up to 150W of heat
from the CPU - sufficient for the hottest CPUs on the
market. The CPU Block Base is made of pure copper
to ensure the highest cooling performance.
- VGA Card Heatpipes
Heat from the VGA Card is transferred to the heatsink
plate through 3 heatpipes each 6 millimeters in
diameter. The three heatpipes can transfer up to 75W
of heat from the VGA chipset - sufficient for the hottest
VGA cards on the market.
- Northbridge Heatpipe
Heat from the Northbridge chipset is transferred to the
heatsink plate through a single heatpipe, 5 millimeters
in diameter. This heatpipe can transfer up to 20W of
heat.
Heat Transfer via Rear-mount Thermal Blocks
When the Rear-mount Thermal Blocks are installed on
the back-side of the motherboard in line with the
position of the FETs (Field Effect Transistor) and the
Northbridge chipset, each can lower the FET
temperature by 10 to 30
and the Northbridge chipset
by 5 to 10
