Copper conducts heat much more efficiently than aluminum, enabling lower operating temperatures with the same noise level. The anodized surface also provides corrosion protection, improved heat distribution, and a distinctive, high-quality look. Compared to the aluminum version, temperature improvements of 5 to 10 °C were measured – with more stable voltage and lower overall power consumption.
Pure solid copper variants showed hardly any measurable advantages in the tests, but were significantly more expensive. The copper-anodized cooler thus proved to be the perfect balance between efficiency, stability, and economy.
The result is a real game changer: no more worries about overheated VREGs. Even under high load or overclocking, the area remains within the optimal temperature range, so the board runs more stably, the ASICs are more consistent, and efficiency increases noticeably.
The advantages are measurable and immediate:
Significantly lower power consumption due to reduced heat loss.
Cooler circuit board, more stable ASIC performance.
OC-ready ex works, no additional cooling required.
Longer service life and higher operational reliability.
