The DIGI series’ flagship model, the LC-CC-120-DB6, combines six 6 mm copper heat pipes with an aluminum-fin array and a copper-aluminum base to achieve a 230 W TDP rating. A preinstalled 120 mm fan with fluid-dynamic bearing ensures quiet, durable operation, while an integrated digital display on the heatsink can present BIOS-sourced temperature and fan-speed data or be customized via [LC-Power’s](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/m27ufd) companion software. The cooler supports [Intel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a115) sockets [LGA 1851](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boreas-m2-61l), 1700, 1200, 115x and AMD sockets AM4 and AM5, offering broad compatibility for modern and legacy systems, and is priced at £39.99 in the UK.

The AERA series, comprising the LC-CC-120-B4 (black) and LC-CC-120-W4 (white), employs four 6 mm copper heat pipes paired with aluminum cooling fins and a copper heat spreader to deliver up to 190 W of thermal dissipation. Each model features a single 120 mm fluid-dynamic–bearing fan for efficient airflow and low noise, and the fully coated heatsink provides a uniform aesthetic. Like the DIGI cooler, the AERA units are compatible with Intel LGA 1851, 1700, 1200, 115x and AMD AM4 and AM5 sockets, and are available for £29.99 in the UK.
