FSP PC Cooling Products at Computex: MX09 Dual Fin-stack Cooler, AP-series AIO CLCs

FSP at Computex showed off a handful of its PC cooling products, besides a large selection of high-end PSUs that it specializes in. The MX09 is a high-end dual aluminium fin-stack CPU air cooler. Although a dual fin-stack (D-type) cooler, the two fin-stacks are designed differently. The one on the left (facing the rear end of your case) has a recess toward the bottom, so it doesn't get impeded by elaborate rear I/O shrouds of today's motherboards.

The fin-stack on the right is full length, but its intake fan is a 120 mm and located towards the top, for maximum clearance with the memory. The fan between the two fin-stacks is a 140 mm conveyor. The fins feature a honeycomb bend arrangement for maximum airflow. The cooler uses 7 copper heatpipes that draw heat from the base, spreading it across the two fin-stacks. With its fans in place, the cooler has a height of 160 mm, so it should be compatible with quite a few mid-tower cases. The AP-series of AIO liquid CPU coolers comes in three models based on radiator size—AP42 (420 mm x 140 mm), AP36 (360 mm x 120 mm), and AP24 (240 mm x 120 mm). These use FSP's in-house dual-chamber pump design. Both the MX09 and AP-series support modern CPU socket types, including LGA1700, LGA1200, AM5, and AM4.

A nice looking, well-designed cooler for sure, but did they have a senior moment with leaving that screwdriver in the pics, or was that done intentionally for some reason ???

The 4th picture is from the CUT592 case article and it doesn't really show any details of the AIO.

It was on purpose. That's a "feature" they wanted to show by leaving the screwdriver there. Basically they want to show that you can screw in the cooler to the mobo without having to remove the center fan, unlike most tower coolers (check hardware Canucks video).
