The Nexus VCT-9000 cooler combines some of the most advanced technologies in the market used for CPU coolers: heat pipes directly on the CPU core, SkiveTek and 3 types of ultra-thin fins combined with a real silent PWM controlled 12cm fan at a 25 degree angle. This type op performance has never been this quiet before.

The 120mm fan is PWM controlled and the speed varies between an utterly low 500 and 1600 RPM creating the lowest possible noise-output. Further more the fan is fitted with for blue LED's.

The 5 heat pipes (one of 8mm and four of 6mm diameter) are fitted using the advanced Heat pipe-On-Core technology to guarantee the fasted heat dissipation possible.

The Nexus VCT-9000 has 3 different shape aluminium fins. The bottom section of the fins has a characteristic V-shape. This V-shape allows the air flow generated by the 12cm fan to reach the target area on top of the CPU core for effective cooling.

 

When you compare this solution with side-blowing cpu coolers in the market you notice that this area is not touched by the airflow of most of these models. A clear advantage for the VCT-9000 compared to side-blowers.

 

 

Heat pipe technology is the most effective way to quickly transport heat from one side to another.  By placing the heat pipes directly on the core of the CPU you make use of this benefit in the most effective way. Heat is absorbed directly from the CPU core.

 

Many coolers in the market have a base plate on which the heat pipes are positions. Then there is a base plate between the heat pipes and the CPU core. This inevitably causes loss of dissipation and loss of performance.

 

The Nexus VCT-9000 is equipped with five heat pipes. The centre heat pipe which is directly on the middle of the CPU is 8mm in diameter and provides massive cooling for the heart of the CPU. On either side of the 8mm heat pipe there are two highly efficient 6mm heat pipes.

 

The base element is fitted with a highly efficient SkiveTek heat sink made from practically pure aluminium. With SkiveTek technology we create a heat sink with a base plate and fins constructed out of a single piece of aluminium. This is done by cutting the material in thin layers and bending the fins in place. No bonding, welding or soldering is involved ; the joint between fin and base is continuous aluminium

 

The 12cm silent PWM fan on the VCT-9000 is positioned on the cooler under a smooth angle. This means the air blows onto the heat sink fins and SkiveTek base at an angle. This gives great cooling performance, better than vertical positioned fans with horizontal positioned fins. There is more intense contact by the airflow on the fins... resulting in better cooling capabilities. Yet the angle is smooth enough not to cause obstruction. Great cooling at the lowest possible noise level.
