Nexus unveiled an updated design to its FLC-3000 CPU cooler that was launched about three years ago, the FLC-3000 R2. The new version features support for the latest socket types, and makes use of a CPU base with direct-touch heatpipes. The cooler measures 128 x 105 x 119 mm, weighing 450 g, its design consists of a direct-touch heatpipe CPU base from which four 6 mm copper heatpipes convey heat to an aluminum fin array that propagates at an angle of roughly 45°. A 92 mm PWM-controlled, orange LED-lit fan is nested inside the array, which spins at speeds of 900 to 2,500 rpm, with a maximum noise output of 24 dBA. All current socket types are supported, including LGA1366, LGA1156, AM3/AM2+, and LGA775. It is expected to be priced at around $40.
