The upper part uses CNC machined from a solid piece of brass covered in black chrome or matte black, while the aesthetic cover piece is made of brushed black anodized aluminum or brushed pure aluminum. The purest copper available on the market is used for the EK-Velocity Strike cold plate, which is precision machined into a dense micro-fin structure. The contact surface is machine polished for better contact with the CPU.

Next, we see the compatible sockets:

• LGA 1155LGA 1156LGA 1150LGA 1151LGA 2011LGA 2011-3LGA 2066AM4
