Υβριδική ψύκτρα Kolink Umbra EX180 Black Edition

The Kolink Umbra EX180 Black Edition is a hybrid single-tower CPU cooler designed for mainstream and high-performance desktop builds. It combines four 6 mm copper heatpipes embedded in an aluminium base with a 120 mm PWM fan that spins between 800 and 1800 RPM, producing up to 125 m³/h airflow and a maximum static pressure of 2.12 mmH2O. The cooler’s compact dimensions (130 mm width, 75 mm depth, 157 mm height) and matte black finish make it suitable for compact and standard cases while maintaining a minimal aesthetic.

Advantages

The Umbra EX180 Black Edition offers effective heat transfer through four 6 mm copper heatpipes and a dense aluminium fin stack combined with a high-performance 120 mm PWM fan. The fan’s variable speed control allows balance between cooling performance and acoustic output. A slim tower profile increases RAM compatibility and reduces interference with tall memory modules. Surface treatments on the aluminium parts reduce oxidation and improve long-term appearance and durability. The included thermal paste with 12.8 W/(m·K) thermal conductivity supports efficient heat conduction at the interface.

Suitable for

• Cooling desktop CPUs with up to 180 W TDP
• Compact ATX, micro-ATX and smaller cases where height and clearance matter
• Systems requiring high RAM clearance and easy cooler installation
• Builds prioritizing a minimal all-black appearance

How to use

Mount the cooler following the included instructions for your CPU socket. Apply the supplied thermal paste evenly to the CPU heatspreader or use the recommended amount described in the manual. Attach the mounting bracket and secure the cooler to the motherboard with the provided screws or fasteners, ensuring even pressure. Connect the 4-pin PWM fan cable to the CPU fan header on the motherboard to enable automatic speed control. Verify clearance for memory modules before finalising installation and power on the system to confirm fan operation and stable temperatures.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, ensure good case airflow by arranging intake and exhaust fans to create a steady front-to-rear or bottom-to-top airflow path. Keep fins and fan blades free of dust; clean periodically with compressed air. Use the motherboard fan control or BIOS profiles to tune the PWM curve for a desired balance between noise and cooling, and confirm compatibility with your specific CPU TDP and case dimensions before purchase.
