“Ultimate COOL!” Thermal Solutions
CeraM!X Heatsink Coating Technology
Innovative ceramics actively conducts heat away from the system. It replaces traditional
antioxidants to dissipate heat better with its microscopic irregular surface and enlarged area.
Better cooling leads to overall improvement in system stability.
DO NOT uninstall the heatsink module by yourself. Doing so may bend the tubing and
affect the heat dissipation performance.
