Ilmajäähdytin Silverstone NT08-115X

The Silverstone NT08-115X is a compact air cooler designed for mainstream desktop CPUs. It combines a 92 mm fan with a dual ball bearing motor, a small heatsink profile and a low acoustic signature to provide efficient cooling for systems with limited internal space. The unit measures 101x101x48 mm and presents a three-tone finish in black, copper and silver that integrates with many chassis interiors.

Advantages

The small footprint allows installation in compact cases and on crowded motherboards while supporting common LGA115x sockets. The 92 mm fan delivers a wide rotational speed range from 1200 to 3500 RPM, enabling a balance between airflow and noise depending on workload. Dual ball bearings improve bearing life and stability during continuous operation. Low noise at the minimum speed (16.9 dB) makes it suitable for quieter systems, and the cooler’s rated thermal design power of 95 W supports mid-range CPUs.

Suitable for

• Small form-factor desktop builds where space is limited
• Mainstream and mid-range CPUs with up to 95 W TDP
• Systems requiring a low-profile cooler to avoid memory or VRM interference
• Quiet office or home PCs where reduced fan noise is desired

How to use

Mount the cooler following the motherboard and cooler manufacturer instructions, aligning the base plate over the CPU integrated heat spreader. Apply a thin, even layer of thermal paste to the processor surface if not pre-applied on the cooler. Secure the cooler to the CPU socket using the supplied mounting hardware for the supported LGA115x sockets. Connect the fan cable to the CPU fan header on the motherboard and verify fan operation in BIOS or with monitoring software. Ensure that the surrounding case airflow is unobstructed to allow effective heat dissipation.

Recommendations

For optimal results, use the cooler in cases with at least one intake and one exhaust fan to maintain positive or balanced airflow. Set the fan curve in BIOS or a system utility to keep noise low during light loads and allow higher speeds under sustained CPU load. Periodically clean dust from the fan and heatsink fins to preserve cooling performance and bearing longevity.
