ID-Cooling reveals thick single-tower Frozen 510 CPU cooler

ID-Cooling is expanding its air-cooling portfolio with the Frozn 510, a single-tower heatsink that prioritises surface area and performance. By using a significantly thicker 58mm fin stack composed of 0.4mm fins, the company claims a 30% increase in thermal scale compared to traditional slim-tower designs.

According to ITHome (via Guru3D), the heatsink itself features folded and clipped fin-edge finishing. Heat is transferred via five direct-touch heat pipes arranged in a unique 2+2+1 pattern. Interestingly, ID-Cooling has tuned this layout specifically to align with the decentralised hotspots of modern chiplet-based CPUs. The AMD Limited Edition takes this optimisation a step further by including a 5mm offset mounting bracket designed to centre the heat pipes directly over the compute dies of Ryzen processors. This version features red visual accents and is only supported by AMD platforms, whereas the all-black standard model supports both Intel and AMD sockets.

To cool the heatsink, ID-Cooling has paired it with the AT-120 fan, a 120mm unit that leans more toward industrial performance than whisper-quiet operation. The fan features dual ball bearings and a rectifier ring structure, boasting a staggering speed range that tops out at 3000 RPM. At full power, it delivers 83 CFM of airflow and 5.04 mmH2O of static pressure. While the peak noise level of 36.5 dB(A) means you'll certainly hear it when pushed, the inclusion of dual ball bearings ensures the fan can handle those high-speed sustained loads for the long haul.

Priced in China at 139 yuan (£15) for the standard model and 159 yuan (£17) for the AMD limited edition, the Frozn 510 enters the market as a major value contender. Although a release date for other regions hasn't been confirmed, like many other ID-Cooling coolers, the Frozen 510 should find its way to European, US, and UK retailers.

KitGuru says: The cooler's beefier construction bridges the gap between budget entry-level coolers and bulky dual-tower units.
