CPU cooler Xigmatek AK6 Dual Digital Arctic CPU Cooler

The Xigmatek AK6 Dual Digital Arctic CPU cooler is an air CPU cooling solution with two 120 mm fans and a serious cooling capacity of 240 W. This comfortably places it in the mid-range to high-end class for gaming and heavy workloads. It supports the latest sockets like AM5, LGA 1700, and LGA 1851, as well as older mainstream platforms. With a 5V ARGB connector, you get not only efficiency but also synchronization with the lighting of other components.

What you get

The two 120 mm fans with a size of 120 x 120 x 25 mm operate in the range of 800–1800 RPM, which means flexibility – quieter operation at idle and more serious airflow under load. The declared airflow of 156 CFM and maximum pressure of 2.24 mmH2O provide a good basis for stable temperatures with higher TDP CPUs, especially in more compact mid-tower cases. The noise level of up to 28 dBA is completely acceptable for gaming and work, without being excessively loud. Thanks to the 240 W cooling capacity, you can comfortably consider more powerful processors without immediately switching to liquid cooling. The 5V ARGB connector gives you full control through the motherboard for effective synchronization with the other lighting in the case.

• Air cooling type – easy to install, without pumps and liquids, and with lower maintenance compared to AIO.
• Compatibility with AM4 / AM5 / LGA 1200 / 115x / 1700 / 1851 – covers most current and older gaming and workstation platforms.
• Two 120 mm fans (120 x 120 x 25 mm) – better radiator coverage and higher airflow compared to single configurations.
• Speed 800–1800 RPM – the ability for quieter operation under low load and aggressive cooling when the CPU is at max.
• Maximum airflow 156 CFM – suitable for heavily loaded systems with hot processors and limited airflow in the case.
• Static pressure 2.24 mmH2O – better “pushing” through dense radiator fins for more effective heat dissipation.
• Noise level 28 dBA – balanced profile between performance and acoustic comfort during everyday use.
• Cooling capacity 240 W – provides headroom for higher frequencies and boost modes without rapid thermal throttling.
• 4-pin + 5V ARGB connector – standard PWM control for speeds plus addressable RGB for synchronization with the motherboard.

Who it is suitable for

It is suitable for gaming configurations with more powerful processors on AM4/AM5 or LGA 1700/1851, where you want serious air cooling without switching to AIO. It also works for work – rendering, compiling, streaming – if you want the CPU to boost stably. If you are aiming for an absolutely silent system with passive cooling or very low speeds at all costs, this model may seem more aggressive than necessary.

The strongest combination here is the capacity of 240 W plus the two 120 mm fans with 156 CFM and ARGB – you get good cooling, a decent noise profile, and clean integration into a modern, illuminated gaming build.
