What the AP1-V Is Built For
The AP1-V is aimed at builders running a modern mid to upper-range CPU, such as a Core i5/i7 or Ryzen 5/7, who want better cooling than a stock or budget cooler without moving to liquid. Five heatpipes and a 245W rating give it real headroom, and the hydro-bearing fan ramps from a quiet 16.1 dBA to 32.8 dBA when the CPU is loaded. The aluminium frame and lit fan give it a clean, finished look through a glass side panel, and the fan can stay in place during installation.
Clearance and Colour Choices
At 165mm tall, check your case first: many compact mid-towers and most small form factor cases top out around 155-160mm, so measure before you buy. It is a single-fan, single-tower design, so for a hot-running Core i9 or Ryzen 9 under sustained all-core load, a 240mm or 360mm AIO will hold clocks better. The black version suits dark builds; a white AP1-V is also available if you are matching a white case and fans.
FEATURES:
- Five 6mm heatpipes for efficient heat transfer away from the CPU
- HCTT (Heat Core Touch Technology) base for direct CPU contact
- Aluminium alloy frame with ARGB lighting
- Hydro-bearing fan for long life and quieter running, 80,000-hour MTBF
- Install without removing the fan; compatible with high memory modules
