Socket

Socket - processor connector - with which the corresponding cooling system is compatible.

Different sockets differ not only in compatibility with a particular CPU, but also in the configuration of the mounting place for the cooling system. So, when purchasing a processor cooling system separately, it is worth making sure that it is compatible with the socket. Nowadays, solutions are mainly produced for the following types of sockets: AMD AM2/AM3/FM1/FM2, AMD AM4, AMD AM5, AMD TR4/TRX4, Intel 775, Intel 1150, Intel 1155/1156, Intel 1366, Intel 2011/2011 v3, Intel 2066, Intel 1151/1151 v2, Intel 1200, Intel 1700.

Lighting colour

The colour of the backlight installed in the cooling system.

See above for more details on the backlight itself. Also note here that in the illumination of modern cooling systems there is both one colour (most often red or blue, less often green, yellow, white or purple), and multi-colour systems such as RGB and ARGB. The choice of a single-colour backlight depends mainly on aesthetic preferences, but the last two varieties should be touched upon separately.

The basic principle of operation of both RGB and ARGB systems is the same: the design provides for a set of LEDs of three basic colours — red (Red), green (Green) and blue (Blue), and by changing the number and brightness of the included LEDs, you can not only intensity, but and tint of light. The difference between these options differs in functionality: RGB systems support a limited set of colours (usually up to one and a half dozen, or even less), while ARGB allows you to choose almost any shade from the entire available colour range. At the same time, both of them can support backlight synchronization (see below); in general, this function is not required for RGB and ARGB systems, but it is used almost exclusively in them.

Mount type

Latches. The simplest and most convenient type of fastening, in particular due to the fact that it does not require the use of additional tools. Plus, you don't need to remove the motherboard for snap-on installation.

— Double- sided (backplate). This type of fastening is used in the most powerful and, as a result, heavy and large-sized cooling systems. Its feature is the presence of a plate installed on the opposite side of the motherboard — this plate is designed to protect against damage and so that the board does not bend under the weight of the structure.

Bolts. Fastening with classic bolts. It is considered somewhat more reliable than latches (see above), but less convenient, because. You can remove and install the cooling system only with a screwdriver. To date, bolts are mainly used to fasten case fans, as well as cooling systems for RAM and hard drives (see "Type", "Purpose").

Silicone mounts. The main advantage of silicone fasteners is good vibration absorption, which significantly reduces the noise level compared to similar systems using other types of fasteners. On the other hand, silicone is somewhat less reliable than bolts, so both types of fasteners are usually supplied in the kit, and the user chooses which ones to use.

— Adhesive tape. Fastening with adhesive tape (adhesi...ve tape), usually double-sided. The main advantages of this mount are ease of use and compactness. On the other hand, it is difficult to remove such a cooling system. In addition, adhesive tape is inferior in thermal conductivity to the same thermal paste.

Dimensions

General dimensions of the cooling system. For water systems (see "Type"), this paragraph indicates the size of the external radiator (the dimensions of the water block in such devices are small, and there is no need to specify them in particular).

In general, this is a fairly obvious parameter. We only note that for case fans (see ibid.), the thickness is of particular importance — it directly depends on how much space the device will take up inside the system unit. At the same time, it is customary to refer to fans with a thin case for models in which this size does not exceed 20 mm.

Height

The cooling system should fit into the computer case without any problems. The vast majority of case manufacturers indicate in the specifications the maximum height of the cooler that can be installed on their chassis. It is from this value that it is necessary to build on when choosing a cooling system. With an oversized cooler, you will have to leave the side wall of the case wide open, which violates the built-in air circulation pattern and provokes dust pollution of the internal space of the system unit.
