XILENCE XC044 Performance C CPU Cooler

The XILENCE XC044, also known as the M504D in various markets, is a high‑performance dual‑tower air cooler designed to keep your processor running at optimal temperatures even under demanding workloads. With its compact 92 mm fan design and robust heatpipe construction, this cooler delivers reliable cooling for a wide range of Intel and AMD sockets.

Key Features

• Dual‑Tower Design: Two stacked copper heatpipes ensure efficient thermal transfer from the CPU die to the aluminum fins.
• Two 92 mm PWM Fans: Adjustable fan speeds (600–2,200 RPM) allow you to balance cooling performance with noise levels.
• Wide Socket Compatibility: Supports Intel LGA1150/1151/1155/1156/1200/1700/2011 and AMD AM2/AM2+/AM3/AM3+/FM1/FM2/FM2+/AM4 sockets.
• Low Noise Operation: Quiet mode at 14 dB, maximum noise at 21.8 dB.
• High TDP Handling: Capable of dissipating up to 180 W, suitable for overclocked CPUs and high‑end desktop processors.

Technical Specifications

Installation Guide

1. Prepare the CPU socket: Clean the processor and socket area, ensuring no dust or debris remains.
2. Attach the mounting bracket: Align the bracket with the socket pins. The XC044 uses a universal mounting system compatible with both Intel and AMD sockets; secure it with the provided screws.
3. Install the heatpipes: Place the copper heatpipes onto the CPU die, ensuring full contact without gaps.
4. Mount the fan assembly: Position the dual‑tower fan unit on top of the heatpipe stack. Tighten the mounting screws evenly to avoid uneven pressure.
5. Connect the power cable: Plug the 4‑Pin PWM connector into the CPU fan header on your motherboard.
6. Adjust fan curves: Use BIOS or software utilities to set fan speed profiles, balancing temperature and noise according to your preference.

Performance Highlights

The XC044’s dual‑tower architecture allows for a larger surface area compared to single‑tower coolers, which translates into superior heat dissipation. The copper heatpipes provide low thermal resistance, while the aluminum fins efficiently spread heat across the fan blades. Users report stable temperatures under full load, with idle temperatures remaining below 40 °C on modern CPUs.

Noise Management

Thanks to PWM control, you can set a quiet profile that keeps fan speed low (600 RPM) during light tasks, resulting in just 14 dB of noise. When the CPU demands more cooling—such as during gaming or rendering—the fans ramp up to 2,200 RPM, delivering maximum airflow while staying under 22 dB.

Compatibility Summary

The XC044 is engineered for a broad spectrum of processors:

• Intel: LGA1150, LGA1151, LGA1155, LGA1156, LGA1200, LGA1700, LGA2011
• AMD: AM2, AM2+, AM3, AM3+, FM1, FM2, FM2+, AM4

This extensive compatibility makes it an ideal choice for builders who want a single cooler that works across multiple platforms.

Why Choose the XILENCE XC044?

• Versatility: One cooler fits many sockets, reducing the need to purchase separate units for different builds.
• Balanced Design: Combines robust cooling with a quiet operation profile suitable for both gaming rigs and office workstations.
• Durable Build: High‑quality aluminum and copper components ensure longevity even under continuous high‑load conditions.

Whether you’re overclocking a flagship processor or building a budget system that still demands reliable cooling, the XILENCE XC044 Performance C CPU Cooler delivers performance, flexibility, and peace of mind in one compact package.
