## At a glance

- Dual-tower heatsink design with six listed 6 mm heatpipes and two TL-P12 fans.
- Fans use 4-pin PWM connections, with a claimed Y-shaped adapter for synchronous speed control.
- The listing gives a 155 mm cooler height. Check case clearance and memory layout before installation.

## Pros

- Two fans and a twin-tower layout are specified for moving heat away from the CPU.
- The listed socket range includes AM4 and AM5, along with multiple Intel LGA generations.
- The stated Y-shaped adapter allows both fans to share PWM speed control.

## Before you buy

- Listing details are inconsistent: title and feature text cite 25.6 Decibels, while the fan specification gives ≤29.8 dBA. The title says 115x/1200, while the compatibility text separately lists 1150/1151/1155/1156/1200. The explicit contents list says “CPU Air Cooler, CPU Fan, Close”, while descriptive text claims two fans and installation accessories, so the exact bundle is unconfirmed. The listing also says AMD installation uses the motherboard's original backplane, which is not included. Confirm the exact socket and package contents for the selected listing.

## In the box

- CPU air cooler (Included)
- CPU fan (Included): The explicit contents list names a fan, while the product description claims two.
- “Close” \(listed component\) (Check selected pack): The contents field gives this wording without clarifying the item.
- Two TL-P12 fans (Check selected pack): Claimed in the descriptive specifications, but the explicit contents field names only a CPU fan.
- Installation mounting kit (Check selected pack): Claimed in the product description, not confirmed by the explicit contents field.
- Instruction manual (Check selected pack): Listed in the product-description packaging details, not confirmed by the explicit contents field.

## A good fit for

- Builders seeking a dual-tower air cooler with two PWM fans and support for listed AMD or Intel sockets.
- Buyers whose PC case has space for a cooler listed at 155 mm high.

## Less suited to

- Buyers who cannot verify case clearance or need a cooler with a confirmed noise figure and unambiguous package contents.

## Customer feedback

The supplied ratings are uniformly five-star, but the sample is small and there is no written feedback to explain what customers liked. Treat this as limited sentiment evidence rather than proof of cooling performance, noise or compatibility. For buyers, the cooler's listed socket range and 155 mm height are more useful checks for fit than the rating alone.

## Frequently asked questions

### Which CPU sockets are listed as compatible?
The listing names AMD AM4 and AM5, and Intel LGA1851, 1700, 1150, 1151, 1155, 1156 and 1200. Its title uses a narrower Intel socket list, so confirm your exact socket against the selected listing.
### How much clearance does this cooler need?
The stated height is 155 mm. Check the case's cooler-height limit and ensure the dual-tower arrangement clears nearby memory and components.
### Are two fans and the mounting kit definitely included?
The product description claims two TL-P12 fans and an installation kit, but the explicit included-components field is ambiguous. Verify the package contents before purchase.
### What noise level does the listing specify?
It conflicts: one detail gives 25.6 Decibels, while the fan specification states ≤29.8 dBA. Neither figure should be treated as a settled measurement.
