Silverstone’s Take on the Nitrogon NT06 CPU Cooler

The Nitrogon NT06 was designed and created with one single purpose, to cool the hottest CPUs in the world. To achieve this goal, the original Nitrogon NT01 was brought back onto the drawing board and modified with more than twice the surface area to significantly increase heat-absorbing performance. A new “FM122” 120 x 32mm fan with powerful air pressure rating is then used to provide forced-air heat dissipation with the ability to cool components around the CPU area. Careful planning and bending of the thick sintered powder heat pipes ensures that the NT06 can fit on almost any motherboard and in most cases. For all out CPU cooling performance without compatibility problems, the Nitrogon NT06 is truly the ultimate solution.
