Description
The Cooler Master X Dream P115 (RR-X115-40PK-R1) is a streamlined air cooling solution engineered specifically for Intel's mainstream desktop platforms. Standing at a low height with a circular aluminum fin design, it maximizes surface area while maintaining a minimal footprint. The integrated 95mm fan utilizes Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) to balance silent operation at idle with high-velocity airflow during intensive tasks, reaching speeds up to 4000 RPM.
This product is for:
- ITX and Small Form Factor (SFF) builders requiring a low-clearance cooler for tight chassis.
- Home office users seeking a reliable, long-lasting replacement for stock Intel coolers.
- Budget-conscious PC assemblers looking for efficient cooling without the bulk of tower heatsinks.
- System integrators needing a compatible solution for LGA1200 and legacy LGA115X motherboards.
- Users prioritizing longevity, thanks to the 70,000-hour rated Loop Dynamic Bearing (LDB).
Detailed specifications:
- Socket Compatibility: Intel LGA 1200 / 1156 / 1155 / 1151 / 1150
- Heatsink Material: High-grade Aluminum Extrusion
- Fan Dimensions: 95 x 95 x 25 mm (3.74 x 3.74 x 0.98 inches)
- Fan Speed: 900 – 4000 RPM ± 10% (PWM controlled)
- Airflow & Pressure: 52 CFM (Max) / 6.7 mm H2O (Max)
- Noise Level: 19 – 36 dB(A)
- Bearing Type: Loop Dynamic Bearing (LDB)
- Power Connector: 4-Pin PWM, 12 VDC
Installing the X Dream P115 is straightforward, utilizing a standard mounting mechanism typical of Intel-specific coolers. In real-world usage, the 4000 RPM ceiling provides a significant safety margin for thermal spikes, while the 900 RPM floor ensures the system remains nearly inaudible during web browsing or document editing. The aluminum fins are spaced to prevent dust buildup, and the LDB bearing technology ensures the fan remains stable and quiet over years of continuous operation.
Compared to standard stock coolers, the X Dream P115 offers a more robust 95mm fan and a higher static pressure of 6.7mm H2O, which is essential for pushing air through dense internal layouts. While it lacks the heat pipes found in larger tower coolers, its low-profile design makes it compatible with cases where taller coolers simply cannot fit. It serves as a direct upgrade in both durability and airflow over basic OEM solutions.
Q&A:
- Does the X Dream P115 support Intel 12th or 13th Gen LGA1700 sockets? No, this model is specifically designed for LGA1200 and the LGA115X series (1150, 1151, 1155, 1156).
- Is thermal paste pre-applied to the heatsink? Most retail versions of the P115 come with pre-applied thermal interface material for immediate installation.
- Can I control the fan speed? Yes, the 4-pin PWM connector allows your motherboard BIOS or software to automatically adjust the speed based on CPU temperature.
- What is the total height of the cooler? The heatsink is 22mm tall and the fan is 25mm, making it an ideal choice for slim-profile enclosures.
- How long will the fan last? The Loop Dynamic Bearing is rated for an MTTF of 70,000 hours, significantly longer than standard sleeve bearing fans.
