The technical characteristics are very close to the old Platinum RGB on paper, with a very classic aluminum radiator 13.7 cm wide by 32.2 cm long and a standard thickness of 2.7 cm. 280 mm requires, two fans are delivered as standard, the same ML140 RGB (8 individually customizable LEDs) found on all the brand’s high-end products. These fans are equipped with a magnetic levitation bearing which has been widely proven so far, the sound level is very low at low speed and does not suffer from parasitic noise.
The star of the show is the waterblock which is covered with no less than 33 Capellix LEDs (via 21 customizable zones), these LEDs which appeared on the Dominator Platinum RGB memory kits that we tested previously. In addition to a much higher brightness than standard LEDs, the Capellix are smaller and consume less. Overall this is one of the only developments in the RGB peripheral market, fans should love the rendering! In terms of LED customization, you can therefore control no less than 37 zones, which means that you have plenty to do.
