Valkyrie are one of my favourite brands, with an impressive range of award-winning AIO and air coolers, as well as cases, peripherals, and so much more. Valkyrie are bringing its cooling expertise to the CPU air cooler market with the new Surge SL125. While this isn’t going to be the most extreme in their line-up, this compact air cooler is designed to provide dependable cooling performance for modern multi-core processors from both Intel and AMD. With its affordable price tag and compact design, it’s going to offer a high level of compatibility with a wide range of systems, so the SL125 is expected to fit seamlessly into most PC cases while providing the cooling required to keep your system running optimally.
Valkrie Surge SL125
The Valkyrie Surge SL125 is engineered to deliver a powerful cooling punch within a streamlined form factor. Its core cooling capability is built on four high-efficiency composite heatpipes and a 48-fin aluminium heatsink, which work in tandem to optimise thermal transfer from the CPU. Plus, it comes equipped with a Valkyrie B12 ARGB fan. The fan features a fluid dynamic bearing (FDB) to ensure reliable and quiet performance. The fan’s also equipped with addressable RGB lighting for added customisation. Furthermore, the cooler is available in both matte black and white, allowing you to pick whichever better matches your build.
