Intel BXTS15A

Overview

The Intel BXTS15A is an active thermal solution designed to provide reliable cooling for Intel processors using LGA 1151, LGA 1150, and LGA 1156 sockets. It supports sixth generation Skylake CPUs with up to 130 W TDP and remains compatible with many fourth generation Haswell processors. The cooler features a 94 mm fan that adjusts its speed automatically via PWM control, balancing quiet operation with effective heat dissipation.

Key features

• Fan speed automatically adjusts between 1000 and 3850 rpm to match processor workload, ensuring efficient cooling without excessive noise.
• Noise levels remain low, producing about 25 dBA at typical speeds and no more than 40 dBA at full speed, making it suitable for office and home environments.
• Keep Out Safe design keeps the cooler within the CPU socket clearance zone, preventing interference with tall memory modules and nearby motherboard components.
• Standard four-pin connector allows seamless integration with motherboard fan headers for automatic fan curve management without additional software.
• Compact design avoids the bulk of tower-style heatsinks, enabling quick installation and compatibility with a wide range of system builds.
• Optimized for stock clock speeds, providing dependable cooling for everyday computing tasks without the need for overclocking support.

Key specs

• Socket compatibility: LGA 1151, LGA 1150, LGA 1156
• Supported processors: Sixth generation Skylake and fourth generation Haswell
• Thermal design power (TDP): Up to 130 W
• Fan size: 94 mm
• Fan speed range: 1000 to 3850 rpm (PWM controlled)
• Noise level: Approximately 25 dBA at typical speed, up to 40 dBA at full speed
• Connector type: Four-pin CPU fan header

Installation and setup

The BXTS15A installs quickly and fits securely on compatible Intel sockets without requiring additional adapters or software. Its four-pin connector plugs directly into the motherboard’s CPU fan header, allowing the system to manage fan speeds automatically based on processor temperature. The compact form factor ensures it does not block adjacent memory slots or motherboard heatsinks, simplifying upgrades and maintenance.

Ideal uses and environments

This thermal solution is well suited to home desktops, small business systems, and general-purpose workstations running at stock clock speeds. It provides effective cooling with low noise, making it a strong choice for office workstations, media centers, and everyday computing setups. Users planning to overclock their processors should consider more robust cooling options, but for standard use, this cooler offers a balanced combination of performance and quiet operation.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
