AeroCool Intros Cylon 3H Top-Flow CPU Cooler

btarunr · Jan 26, 2021

AeroCool today introduced the Cylon 3H, a top-flow CPU cooler. The cooler features a "C-type" aluminium fin-stack design. Three 6 mm-thick copper heat pipes make direct contact with the CPU at the base, conveying heat through an aluminium fin-stack that's arranged along the plane of the motherboard, and ventilated by a 120 mm fan. This fan features an addressable RGB illumination through a silicone diffuser around the bore of the impeller. AeroCool claims that the cooler can handle thermal loads of up to 125 W.

The included 120 mm fan of the Cylon 3H features a 60,000-hour rated hydraulic bearing, takes in 4-pin PWM for its main function, and 3-pin ARGB for the illumination, turns between 600 to 1,800 RPM; pushing up to 60.8 CFM of air-flow at 1.48 mm H₂O static pressure, at up to 24.3 dBA noise output. With its fan in place, the cooler measures 126 mm x 138 mm x 98 mm (WxDxH). Among the CPU socket types supported are AM4, LGA1200, and LGA115x. The company didn't reveal pricing.

Looks like a good wraith prism replacement

It's missing a heatpipe or two to be significantly better than AMD stock coolers.

looks like a fun time mounting that when you have 2 left thumbs

They even didn't try to use protoshop to put their logo on the fan. Definately it was paint...

"... top-flow ...Three 6 mm heat pipes ... up to 125 W"
no way, as i remember experience with TT BigTyphoon was barely enough for 95W and it also directs hot air towards VRM

Big Typhoon also has 6 pipes.

Big Typhoon...

Looks like a newer version or copy of the " be quite Shadow Rock TF series." But nothing like the great engineering from the Germans in Hamburg. I have had great results with the 'be quite Dark Rock TF' and still running it instead of a AIO. Hard to install though. No RAM issues.

This looks totally useless.
With the fan's housing tapered, why not angle the fan also?
