Intel K69237-001 CPU cooler 92mm PWM LGA 1200/115X black

Socket compatibility

This Intel K69237-001 air cooler fits LGA 1200 and LGA 115X sockets including 1150, 1151, 1155 and 1156. It is aimed at builders replacing the original silver and blue stock cooler on 65 W class processors. The all-black aluminium and copper heatsink matches modern chassis aesthetics. It will not work with X299 platform sockets or AMD platforms.

Thermals and acoustics

A 92 mm fluid-bearing fan spins between 1400 and 2400 rpm, pushing 32 CFM of airflow while producing 25 dBA of noise. The four-pin PWM connector allows the motherboard to regulate speed automatically based on CPU temperature. Copper core construction improves heat transfer compared with the older aluminium-only design. Rated cooling capacity is 65 W plus, varying with case airflow and ambient temperature.

Sustained load behaviour

Under continuous load the fan will ramp toward its upper speed range to maintain the 65 W plus dissipation target. The low-profile 45 mm height keeps clearance tight in compact builds but limits thermal mass for extended heavy workloads. Acoustic output rises with fan speed while the fluid bearing maintains consistent rotation. Performance remains dependent on chassis ventilation and room temperature.
