The Thermaltake TOUGHAIR 310 CPU Cooler is a high-performance air cooler designed to efficiently dissipate heat from your CPU. Featuring a single 120mm fan with Fluid Dynamic Bearings, it operates quietly at a maximum noise level of 23.6 dBA while delivering robust cooling with up to 58.35 CFM airflow and 2.41 mm H2O static pressure. Its PWM-controlled fan adjusts speeds from 500 to 2000 RPM, and the copper and aluminum heatsink ensures optimal thermal transfer, making it suitable for a wide range of Intel and AMD sockets including LGA 1700 and AM5.
