The 'Hex 2.0' CPU cooler from Phononic uses a solid-state thermoelectric module and a thermally-conductive heatsink to efficiently dissipate heat from a processor. The Hex 2.0 is compatible with Intel processors at this time, and can technically be used with AMD processors, but it is not rated for efficiency with AMD processors.
This solid-state thermoelectric cooler is easy to install and maintain due to its lack of moving parts. The cooler does not require a cooling fan or any liquid compound. However, its performance is dramatically increased when attaching a cooling fan, though this is not necessarily required for low-power processors, making this a reliable and cost-effective choice for compact low-power computing setups. According to Phononic, when paired with a cooling fan, the Hex 2.0 delivers far improved cooling efficiency when compared even to larger coolers due to the high thermal transfer rate from its solid-state module.
