Aerocool Air Frost 4

Tower in miniature

Aerocool Air Frost 4 is a compact cooler with a single fan and heatsink, which is almost the only compact model in the company's range. Considering Aerocool's love for classic towers, here we have a kind of tower in miniature - the height of the system is 78 mm, while the heatsink is rather large and heavy, and it is pierced by three copper heat pipes with direct contact with the processor cover. In general, it turns out such almost adult cooling for cases with limited internal space and miniature systems.

cold or noise

As for the efficiency of Air Frost 4, then you need to understand that a lot depends on the processor. For example, the popular Ryzen 5 1600, for which such cooling systems are often bought, never had a Nordic character, therefore, with automatic overclocking on all cores, heat dissipation can exceed the claimed 125 W and the processor will overheat. On the other hand, the built-in fan always operates at a maximum speed of 1800 rpm and it's not too noisy (26 dB is claimed), so the owner of such a cooler will not expect unpleasant surprises like the roar of helicopter blades that some low-cost cooling systems emit.

Single colour LED backlight

In general, if you look in the direction of six-core, then only really energy efficient and with limited overclocking. On the other hand, Air Frost 4 additionally cools the near-socket space, which is important in low-cost builds. And it is backlit with a simple but nice RGB backlight.
