Description
The SilverStone NovaPeak 240 and 360 ARGB series represents a significant advancement in All-in-One liquid cooling, prioritizing both thermal performance and installation convenience. At its core, a three-phase, six-pole motor ensures consistent coolant flow with minimal vibration, while the slightly convex copper base plate optimizes contact with the CPU integrated heat spreader (IHS). This design maximizes heat transfer efficiency, making it an ideal choice for the latest Intel and AMD platforms that demand rigorous thermal management under load.
This product is for:
- Performance Enthusiasts: Users seeking a 3.4mmH2O static pressure fan setup to push air through high-density radiators.
- Aesthetic-Focused Builders: Enthusiasts who appreciate the unique polygonal light plate design and customizable ARGB effects.
- Clean Build Minimalists: Builders who want to reduce clutter via the modular fan cable system that simplifies wire routing.
- Quiet Computing Users: Those requiring a wide PWM range (500-2,200 RPM) to maintain low noise levels (12.1 dBA) during idle tasks.
- Multi-Platform Users: Owners of diverse systems ranging from Intel LGA 1700 to AMD AM5 sockets.
Detailed specifications:
- Pump Speed: 3,100 RPM ± 10% for rapid coolant circulation.
- Fan Performance: 75.74 CFM airflow with 3.4mmH2O static pressure.
- Radiator Dimensions: 277mm (240 version) or 396mm (360 version) length, 28mm thickness.
- Socket Compatibility: Intel LGA 115x/1200/1700/2011/2066 and AMD AM5/AM4.
- Tubing: 460mm reinforced rubber tubes for flexible installation in large chassis.
- Lighting: Integrated ARGB with included 10-mode controller box.
Installing the NovaPeak is a streamlined experience thanks to the modular fan wiring. Instead of managing individual cables for every fan, the integrated design allows for quick daisy-chaining, significantly reducing the time spent on cable management. Once powered on, the water block’s polygonal lighting creates a sophisticated depth effect that stands out from standard circular designs. The 2,200 RPM fans remain remarkably composed even under heavy stress, providing the necessary headroom for overclocking without the intrusive whine associated with lesser cooling units.
Compared to standard flat-base AIO coolers, the NovaPeak’s slightly convex copper base is specifically tailored to the slight curvature of modern CPU heat spreaders, ensuring a tighter fit and better thermal paste distribution. While many competitors use standard round-frame fans, SilverStone utilizes a square-frame design that prevents air leakage at the radiator interface, ensuring every cubic foot of air moved contributes to cooling. Furthermore, the inclusion of a dedicated ARGB controller provides a hardware-level solution for users without 5V ARGB headers on their motherboards, a feature often omitted in budget-friendly alternatives.
Q&A:
- Does the SilverStone NovaPeak support the Intel LGA 1700 and AMD AM5 sockets? Yes, it includes all necessary mounting hardware for the latest Intel LGA 1700 and AMD AM5 platforms, as well as older sockets like LGA 115x and AM4.
- How does the modular cable design help with installation? The fans feature a proprietary interlocking or simplified connector system that allows multiple fans to be powered and controlled via a single set of cables, reducing clutter behind the motherboard tray.
- What is the benefit of a three-phase six-pole motor in the pump? This motor design provides smoother rotation and higher torque compared to standard single-phase motors, resulting in increased reliability and quieter operation.
- Can I control the ARGB lighting without a compatible motherboard? Yes, the package includes an Addressable RGB LED control box with 10 pre-set lighting modes, allowing you to adjust brightness and speed manually.
- What is the difference between the 240mm and 360mm versions? The 240mm version (SST-NP240-ARGB) uses a dual-fan radiator suitable for mid-tower cases, while the 360mm version (SST-NP360-ARGB) uses a triple-fan radiator for maximum heat dissipation in larger builds.
