GAMDIAS Boreas M1-610 ARGB 120mm CPU Air Cooler ( Black )

The Gamdias Boreas M1-610 is a single-tower CPU air cooler designed for builders who want solid thermal performance alongside customisable addressable RGB lighting. At the heart of the cooler sits a tower heatsink with six copper heatpipes that use Gamdias Direct Touch Contact (DTC) technology, placing the heatpipes in direct contact with the CPU integrated heat spreader. This approach removes the intermediate base layer between the heatpipes and the CPU surface, shortening the thermal path and improving heat transfer efficiency. The cooler ships with one built-in 120 mm PWM fan that spins between 800 and 2,600 RPM (±10%), delivering up to 74 CFM of airflow at a static pressure of 3.9 mmH2O. Noise output is rated at 10–32 dBA across that speed range, keeping the system quiet during light workloads while scaling up when the processor demands more cooling. The fan runs on a 4-pin PWM connector, allowing the motherboard to govern speed automatically. Fan power is supplied at 12 V; the ARGB lighting circuit runs on a separate 5 V rail. The dual-ring ARGB fan shroud connects to any motherboard header offering a 5 V 3-pin addressable (digital) RGB connector, enabling synchronisation with popular RGB software ecosystems. A built-in rainbow wave LED effect is active by default if no software is configured. Aluminium fins make up the heatsink array, and the cooler measures 123.9 × 76.1 × 162.9 mm overall. Thermal grease is included in the box. The Gamdias Universal Mounting Kit supports an extensive socket list covering both current-generation and legacy platforms.
