Although liquid cooling has become the go-to for many when it comes to CPU coolers, there's still an argument to be made for air coolers, especially when it comes to models like the new XERON NEX A61 ARGB air CPU cooler. With its single tower design, XERON notes that the NEX A61 ARGB has been custom-tuned and engineered for AMD's AM5-socket Ryzen processors.
Powered by dual silent ring-blade fans, the NEX A61 ARGB also features direct-touch heatpipes with "triple-parallel-pipe precision" coverage for improved heat transfer, plus a physical design that accounts for memory clearance for higher-profile RAM or DDR5 modules. The fans are set up in a push-pull configuration for increased airflow, too, with speeds up to 1800 RPM and noise levels as low as 29.9 dB(A) for quiet performance.
Although XERON notes that the engineering was based on AMD AM5-socket processors like the Ryzen 7 9800X3D, Ryzen 7 9850X3D, and Ryzen 9 9950X3D, the NEX A61 ARGB offers broad compatibility with Intel LGA 1851, 1700, and 1200 motherboards, plus support for AMD AM5 and AM4-socket boards.
Naturally, with ARGB in the name, the fans include lighting with motherboard synchronization support for major brands like ASUS, MSI, GIGABYTE, ASRock, and others. The physical design also features a magnetic top cover for a clean finish with subtle XERON branding.
