Ainex AEOLUS MK1 BLACK CPU Cooler Launches With Top LCD Display

Ainex released the AEOLUS MK1 BLACK side-flow CPU cooler in Japan, introducing a compact design that includes a top-mounted LCD display. This feature allows users to monitor real-time CPU and GPU temperatures and usage directly from the cooler without opening system monitoring software. The release matters to builders who want detailed thermal data in a small form factor case where space is limited.

Compact 134mm cooler features top-mounted display for real-time monitoring

The unit is designed as a side-flow cooler with a height of 134mm to fit into smaller PC chassis. It uses a 92mm PWM fan to move air across the heatsink fins. The cooler connects to the motherboard for fan control and powers the top display and ARGB lighting. This configuration targets users who need efficient cooling in compact builds without sacrificing visual customization.

Specifications

• Height: 134mm
• Fan Size: 92mm PWM
• Heatpipes: 4x 6mm
• Base Material: Copper
• TDP Support: 160W

The heatsink core consists of four 6mm copper heatpipes connected to a copper base. Ainex states that the cooler supports processors with a thermal design power of up to 160W. The design includes offset fins to reduce interference with adjacent RAM modules. This physical layout helps ensure compatibility with taller memory sticks in tight spaces.

The cooler supports a wide range of modern processor sockets. It is compatible with Intel LGA1851, LGA1700, LGA1200, and LGA115x sockets. It also supports AMD Socket AM5 and AM4. The top display shows system information through a dedicated application. The ARGB lighting adds customizable illumination to the build.

The AEOLUS MK1 BLACK is available in Japan starting July 8, 2026. The price ranges from 3,980 to 4,480 JPY (around $27 to $30). This pricing places the cooler in the budget segment for Japanese PC builders. The launch confirms Ainex's expansion into compact cooling solutions with integrated monitoring features.
