CPU cooler PCCOOLER GI-X3 V2 120mm fan, up to 1800 RPM, model GI-X3R-V2

The PCCOOLER GI-X3 V2 120mm CPU cooler (model GI-X3R-V2) is an air-cooling solution designed for desktop processors. It combines a single 120 mm fan with an aluminium heatsink to dissipate heat from the CPU, supporting sustained operation under typical office, multimedia and light gaming loads. The fan is rated up to 1800 RPM, offering a balance between airflow and acoustic performance while fitting standard tower mounting layouts for common desktop cases.

Advantages

The cooler provides effective heat transfer through a compact heatsink paired with a 120 mm fan that can reach up to 1800 RPM, enabling lower CPU temperatures and reduced risk of thermal throttling during prolonged tasks. Its design supports easy installation on standard motherboards and maintains moderate noise levels at typical fan speeds. The unit’s slim footprint helps compatibility with most RAM modules and smaller PC cases where full-size coolers may not fit.

Suitable for

• Office desktops and workstations performing everyday tasks
• Multimedia PCs for video playback and content streaming
• Light gaming systems that do not require high-end cooling
• System builds prioritizing compact cooler dimensions and standard mounting

Key specifications

• Cooling type: air cooler with 120 mm fan
• Fan speed: up to 1800 RPM
• Compatibility: standard desktop CPU sockets (tower-style mounting)
• Heatsink material: aluminium fins with heatpipe contact (as typical for this model)
• Noise and airflow: designed for moderate acoustic output at rated fan speed
• Physical footprint: compact tower profile suitable for limited clearance around memory modules

How to use

Install the PCCOOLER GI-X3 V2 according to the motherboard and case manufacturer instructions: turn off and unplug the PC, remove the existing cooler if present, apply a thin, even layer of thermal paste to the CPU surface, position the heatsink over the CPU and secure the mounting brackets to the motherboard. Connect the 3- or 4-pin fan connector to the CPU_FAN header to allow speed control via motherboard BIOS or fan control software. Verify clearance with memory modules and case panels before closing the chassis and powering on the system.

Recommendations

Monitor CPU temperatures after installation and adjust fan curves in BIOS or software to balance cooling performance and noise. For sustained heavy loads or overclocking, consider a higher-capacity cooling solution. Ensure case airflow is adequate by maintaining clean intake and exhaust paths and periodically cleaning dust from the fan and heatsink fins.
