MSI has entered the budget CPU cooling market with the PRO COREFROZR AR15, a compact air cooler designed for cost-conscious builders. This release matters because it offers a functional thermal solution for standard desktops without requiring a premium investment. The unit targets users who need reliable heat dissipation for mainstream processors while keeping system costs low.
Budget tower cooler supports Intel and AMD mainstream sockets
The PRO COREFROZR AR15 is a low-profile tower cooler measuring 155 mm by 120 mm by 58 mm. It utilizes five 6 mm copper heatpipes to transfer heat from the CPU to the aluminum fins. The design relies on a single 120 mm fan to push air through the heatsink structure.
Specifications
- Dimensions: 155 x 120 x 58 mm
- Heatpipes: 5 x 6 mm copper
- Fan Speed: 510 – 2100 RPM
- Socket Support: Intel LGA 1700/1851, AMD AM4/AM5
- Price: 160 CNY (around $23.78)
The included fan operates between 510 and 2100 RPM to balance airflow and noise. This configuration delivers 59.97 CFM of airflow and 2.03 mmH2O of static pressure. The maximum noise output remains at 29.95 dBA, which is acceptable for quiet office or home builds.
MSI engineered the cooler to support a wide range of modern and legacy platforms. It fits Intel LGA 1700 and LGA 1851 sockets as well as AMD AM4 and AM5 sockets. This broad compatibility ensures the cooler works with current generation chips and older systems alike.
The PRO COREFROZR AR15 launched on JD.com in China on September 13, 2024. The launch price is 160 CNY (around $23.78), which converts to around $23.78. This low entry point makes it a viable option for budget PC builds or replacement cooling for existing systems.
