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

Questions

Before you buy

Is it in stock, and when will it ship?
This one is out of stock at the moment. Stock does come back in - WhatsApp us on 079 491 0181 with the model and we will tell you what the supplier is showing and let you know when it lands, rather than leaving you to keep checking the page.
What does delivery cost, and how long does it take?
We deliver by courier anywhere in South Africa, and delivery is R180 on orders under R2 500 and free on orders of R2 500 or more. It takes 1-3 working days to Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town, Durban and areas within 100km of them, and 2-4 working days to areas more than 100km from a major centre, counted from the day the order is dispatched. Need it sooner? Express delivery is 1-2 working days for R210, or R150 on orders of R2 500 or more - choose it at checkout. We do not ship outside South Africa.
Can I collect instead of having it delivered?
Yes. Collection is from 11 Voortrekker Avenue, Edenvale, Gauteng, by arrangement - message us first so we can have the order picked and waiting. We are open 09:00 to 16:30, Monday to Friday.
What warranty does it carry, and how do I claim?
The warranty period for this product is listed at the end of the Specifications section above. Claims go through us, not the manufacturer - contact us with your order number and a description of the fault and we will handle it from there. Separately from any warranty, the Consumer Protection Act gives you six months from delivery to return goods that are defective, unsafe or not fit for their intended purpose.
What if I change my mind?
You have 14 days from delivery to change your mind - longer than the seven days the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act requires. The item needs to be unused and in its original packaging, and we pay the return shipping. Refunds go back to the payment method you used, within 30 days of the return reaching us.
How can I pay?
Payments are processed by Stitch. At the last step of checkout you are taken to Stitch’s secure page to pay, and brought back here once it is done. Your card details are entered on Stitch’s secure, PCI-compliant page and never touch our systems.
