Valkyrie Vind SL125 CPU Air Cooler - White (VK-AIRSL125W)

The Valkyrie Vind SL125 is a single-tower CPU air cooler with six copper heatpipes, a 50-fin aluminum heatsink and a matched pair of Valkyrie X12 A-RGB fans: one standard and one reversed. It is rated for CPUs up to 230 W TDP, and the white cooler has ARGB accents on the heatsink as well as on the fans.

Six heatpipes, 50 fins

Six copper heatpipes draw heat away from the CPU and spread it across a stack of 50 aluminum fins. The 2.15 mm fin gap balances airflow against fin density. The heatsink measures 125 x 109 x 157.5 mm.

A matched pair of X12 fans

Valkyrie pairs one forward-curved and one backward-curved (reversed) X12 A-RGB fan, so both fans push air the same way through the tower. Each runs from 800 to 2,150 rpm, moves up to 80 CFM (135.92 m³/h) with 3.14 mmH2O static pressure and stays at a maximum of 29 dBA. They use fluid dynamic bearings and 4-pin PWM control. The installation guide shows which way round each fan goes.

Lighting and cover

The heatsink accents and the fans connect to the 3-pin 5V A-RGB header for lighting that follows your motherboard. A magnetic logo is in the box, and the upper cover can be removed and replaced with a style you prefer; Valkyrie advises starting from the middle when you take it off.

Mounting

The kit includes an Intel backplate with brackets, an AMD bracket pair and a nut socket. The cooler fits Intel LGA 1851, 1700, 1200 and 1151 and AMD AM5 and AM4; the installation guide also shows the mounting on Intel LGA 2011 and 2066 with the included LGA2011 bolts.
