About the Product
Vortex Plus is a low profile CPU cooler with compact size but uncompromising cooling efficiency. The compact feature best suits in HTPC chassis or chassis with slim width and limited space. The balanced PWM fan works to provide high airflow under high RPM mode.
Engineered to quickly dissipate heat from a CPU, the GeminII M4 is built with direct contact heatpipes that minimize CPU contact gaps and provide excellent heat conduction. The GeminII M4 is the ultimate answer to space-constrained setups such as mini-ITX, HTPC, and any small-sized desktop PC.
