ANT ESPORTS ICE-C120 Low Profile CPU Air Cooler

The Ant Esports ICE-C120 is a low profile CPU air cooler purpose-built for small form factor (SFF) and compact PC builds where vertical clearance is at a premium. Measuring just 125 x 122 x 66 mm in total, the ICE-C120 slips into tight cabinets and mini-ITX or Micro-ATX cases that cannot accommodate taller tower coolers, making it a practical choice for home theatre PCs, LAN party rigs, and space-constrained workstations. At the heart of the cooler is a 120 x 120 x 25 mm fan finished in a distinctive yellow colourway. The fan operates at a fixed speed of 1,500 RPM (±10%) and moves up to 48 CFM of air while generating approximately 18 dBA (±10%) of noise — a level that stays largely inaudible during everyday computing tasks. Power delivery is straightforward: the fan runs on a 12 V DC rail, starts reliably at 7 V DC, and draws between 0.16 A and 0.19 A under rated conditions. The fan’s hydro bearing design reduces friction between moving parts, contributing to a rated lifespan of 50,000 hours. This bearing type sits between sleeve and ball bearings in terms of both noise and durability, and is a sensible choice for a cooler that may spend most of its life in a near-horizontal orientation inside a flat SFF case. The aluminium heatsink uses a compaction process to pack fins tightly together, shortening the thermal path and improving heat transfer from the CPU heat spreader into the fin stack. The entire assembly weighs 270 g, keeping motherboard stress minimal. Compatibility spans all mainstream Intel and AMD sockets currently in use. On the Intel side the ICE-C120 supports LGA 1700, LGA 115X, and LGA 1200. On the AMD side it covers AM4 as well as older FM1, FM2, AM2, AM2+, AM3, and AM3+ platforms. The mounting mechanism is described by the manufacturer as straightforward, requiring no specialised tools beyond what is included.
