Features
- Four Power Heatpipes

- Four Mounting Directions on AMD Socket
- Low Profile only 59mm tall

The SlimHero features four sintered power heatpipes with a very quiet slim 120mm fan. The copper heatpipes ensure maximum heat transfer from CPU to the aluminium fins. The heatsink is built in a unique shape to lower the air flow resistance. The cooler can be mounted in each direction on the AMD™ socket.
The low profile cooler SlimHero is especially designed for compact PC cases where space is limited. With a total height of only 59mm, this cooler can fit almost all smaller cases and can cool up to 136W (TDP).
The heatsink is bundled with a very quiet slim 120mm fan which provides high airflow. The fan comes with an intelligent PWM controller which allows users to set the fan speed in their BIOS accordingly.
Please check your motherboard with the restriction drawing of the cooler.

Nice Kit
Enough clearance for RAM & CPU power (4/8 pin), but remember to connect CPU power cable BEFORE fitting cooler!!! The mounting is not the flimsy plastic type, but does require access to back of mobo, no problem if new build or you have a cut out.

“Speedy delivery and great customer service”
“I ordered parts for a HTPC build on Sunday and the items arrived Tuesday morning.
Upon building the PC it became apparent that the motherboard was at fault. A call to John Suggit in the Spares & Returns department and it was swiftly resolved with John sending out a replacement today to arrive tomorrow.
Its when you have problems like this that good customer service is worth its weight in gold.
