LC-Power LC-CC-85 CPU Cooler - Black

LC-Power LC-CC-85 CPU Cooler – Black

The LC-Power LC-CC-85 is a high‑performance, single‑fan air cooler designed to keep your processor running at optimal temperatures while delivering quiet operation. Its compact 8 cm (80 mm) fan and lightweight construction make it an ideal choice for both mainstream and enthusiast builds that require efficient cooling without excessive bulk.

Key Design Features

Top‑Blow Architecture: The cooler employs a top‑blow design, directing airflow directly over the processor die. This configuration is particularly effective for CPUs with high thermal output and helps maintain consistent temperatures even under sustained load.

Aluminium Heat Spreader: A robust aluminium heat spreader ensures rapid dissipation of heat from the CPU to the fan. Aluminium’s excellent thermal conductivity allows the cooler to handle a TDP of 70 W, making it suitable for a wide range of processors.

Single 80 mm Fan: The integrated 80 mm fan, powered via a 4‑pin PWM connector, can spin up to 2200 RPM. This high rotational speed delivers a maximum airflow of 32 CFM, providing ample cooling capacity while maintaining low noise levels thanks to the fan’s efficient design.

Compact Footprint: With a width of just 104 mm and a total weight of 147 g, the LC-CC-85 occupies minimal space on the motherboard. Its slim profile ensures compatibility with a variety of case designs, including those with limited clearance around the CPU socket.

Compatibility

The cooler supports an extensive range of processor sockets:

• AMD AM2 / AM2+
• AMD AM3 / AM3+
• AMD FM1 / FM2

These sockets cover many popular AMD CPUs from the early 2000s through the mid‑2010s, making the LC-CC-85 a versatile choice for both legacy and modern builds that still rely on these platforms.

Electrical Specifications

• Voltage: 12 V DC
• Current Draw: 0.08 A (80 mA) at full speed
• PWM Control: 4‑pin PWM connector allows dynamic fan speed adjustment based on system temperature.

Installation Overview

The LC-CC-85 is engineered for straightforward installation. The mounting bracket attaches securely to the motherboard’s socket area, and the fan’s 4‑pin connector plugs directly into the CPU fan header. Because of its lightweight design, the cooler exerts minimal pressure on the processor, reducing the risk of thermal paste displacement.

Performance Highlights

Under typical workloads, the LC-CC-85 maintains CPU temperatures well below the maximum safe operating limits for 70 W TDP processors. Its high airflow and efficient heat spreader work together to keep temperatures stable even during extended gaming sessions or heavy computational tasks.

Noise Profile

Thanks to its optimized fan design, the cooler operates quietly at lower speeds. Even when pushed to 2200 RPM, the noise level remains below most users’ comfort thresholds, making it suitable for both office and home theater environments.

Material Composition

• Heat Spreader: Aluminium – provides excellent thermal conductivity and durability.
• Fan Housing & Mounting Bracket: High‑strength plastic – lightweight yet robust, ensuring long‑term reliability.

Thermal Design Power (TDP) Capability

The cooler is rated for a maximum TDP of 70 W. This rating aligns with many mid‑range CPUs from the supported socket families, ensuring that users can rely on consistent cooling performance without exceeding the cooler’s design limits.

Conclusion

The LC-Power LC-CC-85 CPU Cooler – Black delivers a balanced combination of compactness, efficient airflow, and quiet operation. Its compatibility with a broad spectrum of AMD sockets, coupled with a lightweight build and robust aluminium heat spreader, makes it an excellent choice for builders seeking reliable cooling without sacrificing space or noise levels.
