GAMDIAS BOREAS E2-410 Black 120mm CPU Air Cooler – 4 Copper Heatpipes, Diamond Gradient Top Cover, Full DRAM Clearance – LGA 1851/1700 & AM5 Support

If you’re building or refreshing a performance PC and want dependable cooling without the complexity of liquid loops, the GAMDIAS BOREAS E2-410 Black is purpose-built for the job. It combines a dense aluminum fin stack, a thick copper base, and four direct-contact copper heatpipes to move heat away from modern CPUs quickly and efficiently. The tower layout channels airflow straight through the fins, and a tuned 120 mm PWM fan applies the right amount of pressure to push air where it needs to go. The result is steady temperatures under gaming loads and productivity bursts, with noise that stays controlled thanks to hydraulic bearings and PWM control.

Design matters in a transparent case, and the BOREAS E2-410 embraces that. The all-black finish keeps the cooler understated, while the diamond-patterned gradient top plate gives it a clean, finished look from any angle. There’s no lighting to clash with your theme, so it integrates neatly with both minimalist and RGB-heavy builds. More importantly, the heatsink is profiled for full DRAM clearance on mainstream platforms. That means you can use tall memory modules without shifting the cooler or sacrificing optimal fan placement.

Installation is straightforward. GAMDIAS includes a universal mounting kit that covers Intel LGA 1851/1700/1200/115x/2011/2066 and AMD AM5/AM4 out of the box, so you can carry the cooler to your next platform without buying extra brackets. The backplate and standoffs are clearly labeled, the crossbar applies even mounting pressure, and thermal compound is supplied to get you up and running immediately. With an overall height that stays in the mid-150 mm range, the BOREAS E2-410 is compatible with a wide range of mid-tower enclosures; you won’t be forced into an oversized chassis just to clear your cooler.

The fan is a practical highlight. PWM control lets your motherboard dial speeds smoothly from low-RPM idle to high-RPM bursts under load. The hydraulic bearing reduces friction and helps maintain a consistent acoustic profile over time. During idle or light browsing, the fan spins gently to keep noise to a minimum; when you fire up a game or compile a project, it ramps decisively to hold temperatures in check. That predictable behavior—paired with the heatsink’s efficient fin layout—delivers the kind of day-to-day stability that’s easy to live with.

The E2-410 also suits first-time builders. There’s nothing finicky about aligning a small pump block or managing radiator hoses. Cable management is simple—just a single 4-pin PWM header—and the compact footprint leaves room around the socket area for PCIe slot access and top-panel radiator or fan installations. If you’re building a travel-friendly LAN rig or a workstation that needs to fit under a desk with limited ventilation, the cooler’s balanced dimensions and straight-through airflow design help keep internal case temps from creeping up.

In short, the BOREAS E2-410 targets the sweet spot: strong thermal performance for current desktop CPUs, smart physical design that avoids RAM conflicts, an installation process that respects your time, and a look that complements almost any theme. It’s a reliable air-cooling upgrade that preserves case compatibility today and socket flexibility for your next platform.
