The Vortexx Neo runs at a low 2500 RPM with a claimed noise level of only 1.0 Sone, this already puts it in positive light; no-one likes noisy fans drowning out audio. If the Akasa can run this quietly and leave with competitive temperatures it will be a very impressive feat. The Vortexx Neo aims to achieve this by basing the cooler's architecture on a simple design utilised by many other coolers.
The Akasa's aluminum plate keeps the memory cool while the copper plate sits on top of the core. The core has two heatpipes connected to it which run up through the aluminum fins towards the end of the cooler.
The 80mm fan draws air from the case past the aluminum fins, and exhausts the heat out of the back of the cooler using up a 2nd slot in the back of the case. It will be intesresting to see how the Akasa improves upon this proven design with this particular cooler.
