Valkyrie adds flux filter to AIO coolers
Chinese cooling manufacturer Valkyrie has introduced a new solution to a long-standing issue with all-in-one liquid coolers: performance degradation over time. The problem stems from manufacturing flux residue that breaks loose inside the cooling loop and clogs the microfins in the CPU cold plate, reducing heat dissipation.
To address this, Valkyrie added a flux filter at the radiator’s inlet to trap residue before it enters the loop. The company also adopted a low-flow radiator manufacturing process that generates fewer particles during production. Every radiator now undergoes internal inspection before assembly to ensure cleanliness. In testing, Valkyrie’s VK N360 maintained stable performance during a 72-hour stress test with coolant temperatures above 90 degrees Celsius, showing only a 1-degree Celsius increase in thermal output. These improvements aim to extend the effective lifespan of AIO coolers while preserving consistent cooling performance.
