Chieftec Launches Two New Compact CPU Coolers

Chieftec has launched two compact CPU coolers, the CAC-S90PWM-T120 tower cooler and the CAC-S92PWM-LP45 low-profile model. Both were first previewed at Computex 2026, as we reported earlier. They follow the recent release of the taller CAC-S120PWM-T150 tower cooler, which stands 148 mm tall and features an all-black matte finish. The CAC-S90PWM-T120 measures 80 x 92 x 117 mm and uses four 6 mm heat pipes with an aluminium fin stack. Do not let yourself be fooled by the T120 suffix into thinking it uses a 120 mm fan. It instead uses a smaller 90 mm PWM model running at 800-2,400 RPM, with 40.48 CFM, 2.73 mm H₂O static pressure, and a noise level of 29.79 dBA.

For even more compact systems, the low-profile CAC-S92PWM-LP45 measures 110.8 x 93 x 45 mm. This model has five 6 mm heat pipes and a slim 92 mm x 92 mm x 15 mm PWM fan with 11 blades. The fan runs at 2,300 RPM, delivering up to 36 CFM of airflow, 3.2 mm H₂O of static pressure and a 38 dBA noise level. Both coolers have an all-black finish, support Intel and AMD CPU platforms and come with a 24-month warranty. Chieftec has not announced pricing or exact retail availability.
