Akasa Unleashes Six New Low-Profile CPU Coolers Up to 165W TDP Cooling in Compact Form Factors
Akasa has added six new low-profile CPU coolers to its H6L(S) series, comprising five new models and one additional colour variant. Designed for demanding small form factor (SFF) systems, the lineup includes the Viper H6L M2, SOHO H6L M2, Alucia H6L M2 and Alucia H6LS M2, delivering compact yet powerful cooling from 150W to 165W TDP at heights of only 67.2mm to 77.6mm.
As demand grows for high-end CPU performance in ultra-compact SFF cases, the H6L(S) series allows users to maximise processor performance, such as the Intel® Core™ Ultra 9 285K and AMD Ryzen™ 9 9800X3D, making them ideal for space-constrained mini-ITX or thin mini-ITX builds. Featuring a black aluminium heatsink with six copper heatpipes, each cooler is designed to rapidly transfer heat away from the CPU. Users can choose from models optimised for maximum airflow, RGB aesthetics or low-noise operation to customise the top-down cooling for their build.
Equally important for compact builds, the series features an optimised cooler footprint that provides full RAM clearance across all memory slots, reducing the compatibility headaches often encountered with low-profile solutions.
Socket support is comprehensive: all models include mounting brackets for Intel LGA1851, LGA1700, LGA1200, LGA115X as well as AMD AM5 and AM4, ensuring compatibility with current platforms and easy upgrades from legacy systems. Installation is quick and easy with the included Akasa T5 ProGrade+ thermal compound, which features hybrid silicone and nano-diamond particles for superior heat transfer.
VIPER H6L M2: Maximum Airflow
Focused on airflow performance, the Viper H6L M2 features an S-FLOW fan blade design that delivers up to 30% more airflow than conventional fans at equivalent speeds. At 76mm tall with support for CPUs up to 165W TDP, this model is ideal for high-performance SFF gaming builds or productivity workstations and is available with a black or white Viper fan.
Product Codes: AK-CC4034HP01 (Black) & AK-CC4038HP01 (White)
SOHO H6L M2: Addressable RGB with Premium Acoustics
The SOHO H6L M2 combines 160W TDP cooling capacity with vibrant addressable RGB lighting, housed in a 77.6mm profile height. Its 120mm fan features a sickle-blade design with hydro-dynamic bearings and a sealed lubrication system for extended lifespan and reduced noise. Perfect for builds where aesthetics matter as much as performance. Available in black “Dusk” and white “Dawn” editions.

ALUCIA H6L M2: Quiet Operation for Premium Builds
Standing at 77.6mm with a 160W TDP capacity, the Alucia H6L M2 delivers quiet, reliable cooling in a sleek Photic Blue finish. Designed for users who prioritise acoustics and long-term reliability without sacrificing thermal performance, it is ideal for workstations and quiet gaming setups.
Product Code: AK-CC4037HP01
ALUCIA H6LS M2: Ultra Low-Profile Performance
Where height clearance is at a premium, the Alucia H6LS M2 provides exceptional performance in an ultra-compact package. At only 67.2mm tall, it is among one of the most space-efficient six-heatpipe coolers available, handling up to 150W TDP processors. This makes it well-suited for SFF cases with sub-70mm CPU cooler clearance restrictions. Following strong demand for the Photic Blue edition (AK-CC4030HP01), Akasa has introduced a Hadal Black variant (AK-CC4036HP01), perfect for all-black, stealth builds.
