SPECIFICATIONS

Key Features:

• Tower Design: The TAC-225 likely employs a tower-style heat sink, which offers good cooling performance.
• Heat Pipes: It will use heat pipes to transfer heat away from the CPU contact plate and up to the cooling fins. The number and thickness of these heat pipes will influence cooling capacity.
• 120mm Fan (Likely): The "225" might suggest a dual-fan setup, but it is more likely a single 120mm fan configuration. This is a very common size for CPU coolers, providing a good balance between airflow and noise. Double-check fan size and quantity on product listings.  
• PWM Fan: The fan should be a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) fan, allowing for variable fan speed control depending on the CPU temperature. This helps to balance cooling performance and noise levels.
• Universal Socket Compatibility: It will likely support a wide range of CPU sockets from both Intel and AMD.

Specifications (may vary slightly):

• Model: TAC-225 (SQUALL)
• Fan Size: 120mm (Double-check listings)
• Fan Speed: (Check specific listings, likely a range)
• Noise Level: (Check specific listings, lower dB(A) is quieter)
• Airflow: (Check specific listings, measured in CFM)
• Connector: 4-pin PWM
• Heat Pipes: (Number and diameter may vary)
• TDP Support: (Thermal Design Power - how much heat it can handle; crucial to check)
• Dimensions: (Check specific listings for height, width, and depth)
• Weight: (Check specific listings)
• Socket Compatibility: (Check very carefully for both Intel and AMD sockets)

Things to Consider:

• TDP: The most important factor is if the cooler's TDP rating meets or exceeds your CPU's TDP. An inadequate cooler will lead to overheating.  
• Dimensions: Measure the space in your case to ensure the cooler will fit, especially its height. It might interfere with RAM or the side panel.
• Installation: CPU cooler installation varies. Check if mounting hardware is included and if it's compatible with your motherboard.
