NZXT made a positive impression within the enthusiast sector after they released their first CPU cooler – the Havik 140. It immediately started scooping up awards, as it performed at a similar level to the best coolers on the market. 6 months later and we have their second cooler – the Havik 120 in our labs.

The Havik 120 offers a smaller footprint than the Havik 140, using dual 120mm fans and 4 x 8mm heatpipes, compared with the Havik 140 which had dual 140mm fans and 6 x 6mm heatpipes.

Features

• Revamped 120mm FZ Fans with 13 blades for intense silent cooling.
• Nickel-plated copper base material.
• Four 8mm pipes and aluminium fins for attaining maximum dissipation into fans.
• Fan speeds up to 1500 +/- 10% RPM and 22 dBA silent cooling with airflow of 75.8 CFM.
• Aero-dynamic fin design for improved airflow.
• Universal bracket compatible with Intel and AMD CPUs.
• Rubber mounting for noise absorption.
