It still has six heatpipes and not one but two fans, despite the size

Normally, low-profile CPU coolers are little things made of a small fin stack and a fan, but sometimes a model appears that isn't so easy to brush off.

The Janus from Xigmatek is the most recent example. Despite being very short (as in, not tall), it has six nickel-plated copper heatpipes with 6 mm thickness (each), as well as a copper base (also nickel-plated) and not one but two fans, one of 120 mm diameter and 10mm thickness, and a 15 mm-thick 80-mm wide one.

Speaking of the fans, the former can push up to 38.42 CFM of air (rotary speed of 800 to 1200 RPM), and the other manages 13.53 (2000 RPM constant).

Both Intel and AMD central processing units (CPUs) and accelerated processing units (APUs) are supported by the newcomer.

Not bad for something that measures 120 x 110 x 45 mm / 4.72 x 4.33 x 1.77 inches (WxDxH).
