In the PC hardware market that pursues high performance and compact design, low-profile CPU coolers (height ≤150mm) have become essential for scenarios like ITX cases, HTPCs, and mini PCs. These coolers achieve heat dissipation efficiency comparable to traditional tower coolers within limited space through combinations of ultra-thin fin stacks, short heat pipe layouts, and high-pressure fans. Take GAMEMAX’s 2025 new products as an example: the Gamma 90 Digital uses 7mm-thick fins and a 4x6mm heat pipe ratio, capable of dissipating 120W TDP at 145mm height, with temperature control 5-8℃ lower than average competitors.
Technical Highlights:
Nanoscale Heat Pipe Soldering: Ultrasonic welding between heat pipes and fins reduces thermal resistance by 30%.
Dual FDB Bearing Fans: 120mm PWM-controlled fans offer intelligent speed adjustment (22-35dB noise), with honeycomb inlets increasing air pressure by 15%.
Test Data:
Under 25℃ ambient temperature, it stabilizes an i7-14700K (253W) at 78℃ under full load, 10℃ cooler than 竞品同高度产品.
Use Cases: MATX cases and platforms requiring high DDR5 memory compatibility.
Design Innovations:
Floating ARGB Lighting: A top 环形灯带 supports 16.8 million color customization, synced with motherboards via software for dynamic effects.
Micro-Convex Copper Direct Touch: A 0.1mm-precision copper base directly contacts the CPU, improving heat conduction by 20%.
Compatibility:
Supports full AM5/LGA1700 platforms; at 115mm width, it fits all standard ITX motherboards.
User Feedback:
JD user tests show that in the JONSBO V4 case, it keeps an R9-7950X under 32dB at full load, outperforming the Thermalright AXP120-X67.
Technical Highlights:
6mm×4 Heat Pipe Matrix: Achieves 80W TDP cooling at 60mm height with reflow soldering for gapless heat pipe-fin contact.
Dual-Chamber Hydraulic Bearing Fan: 700-2000RPM wide-speed adjustment with intelligent temperature control, 50,000-hour lifespan.
Test Data:
With an A520 motherboard and R5-7600, Prime95 stress test stabilizes at 68℃, 15℃ cooler than stock coolers.
Use Cases: HTPCs, NAS, and light 办公主机.

COC Cooling System:
In the Brufen C1 case, GAMEMAX’s innovative T-shaped directional airflow uses a motherboard-bottom turbine fan to guide cold air directly to the CPU, enhancing overall efficiency by 25% with the Gamma 90 Digital.
Smart Thermal Linkage:
All coolers support PWM control, allowing custom fan curves via the GAMEMAX Control Center, synced in real-time with motherboard sensors.
Eco-Friendly Materials:
0.3mm ultra-thin aluminum fins reduce weight by 30% while maintaining 120W/m·K thermal conductivity, compliant with EU RoHS.
Technical Trends:
3D VC 均温板 (Vapor Chamber): The upcoming Gamma 140 Pro will use 3D phase-change cooling, improving heat dissipation by 50% over traditional heat pipes.
AI Noise Cancellation: Next-gen coolers will integrate AI chips to auto-adjust fan speeds based on user habits, achieving ±1dB noise control precision.
Buying Tips:
Compatibility Check: Use tools like CPU Cooler Master to simulate installation and avoid RAM/GPU conflicts.
Performance Margin: Choose a cooler with TDP 30% higher than the CPU (e.g., 330W+ for i7-14700K’s 253W).
Warranty: GAMEMAX offers 5-year warranty + 30-day return, supporting personal warranty claims for peace of mind.
| Model | Height | TDP | Noise | Key Shortcoming | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| GAMEMAX Gamma 90 | 145mm | 180W | 22-35dB | No significant flaws | |
| Thermalright AXP120-X67 | 67mm | 150W | 20-38dB | Noticeable noise under load | |
| Noctua NH-L12S | 70mm | 170W | 18-30dB | High price, average compatibility |
