4-heatpipe CPU fans modeled after the popular xuanbing 400 (Xuanbing 400) combine effective cooling performance with affordability, making them a go-to choice for mid-range PC builds, gaming systems, and everyday computing. Like the original Xuanbing 400, these fans feature four direct-contact heatpipes—typically made from copper for excellent thermal conductivity—that transfer heat directly from the CPU to a large aluminum fin stack, ensuring efficient heat dissipation even under moderate to heavy loads.

The heatpipe design is a standout feature: direct contact with the CPU die minimizes thermal resistance, allowing heat to move quickly away from the processor. The aluminum fins, arranged in a dense grid, provide a large surface area for heat exchange, while the included 12cm fan (often with PWM control) pushes cool air through the fins, accelerating heat dissipation. This setup is capable of handling CPUs with TDP (Thermal Design Power) ratings up to 150W, making it suitable for most modern mid-range processors, including Intel Core i5/i7 and AMD Ryzen 5/7 series.

In terms of design, these fans often mirror the Xuanbing 400’s user-friendly features, such as tool-free mounting brackets that support multiple CPU sockets (including LGA 1700, AM4, and AM5), simplifying installation. The fan itself may include customizable RGB lighting or a sleek black finish, catering to users who value both performance and aesthetics. Additionally, the balance of fan speed (typically 1,000–2,000 RPM) ensures effective cooling without excessive noise, making these fans suitable for both gaming and productivity builds.

Whether used as a budget-friendly alternative to higher-end coolers or as a reliable upgrade from stock CPU fans, 4-heatpipe models similar to the Xuanbing 400 offer a compelling mix of performance, ease of installation, and value, making them a popular choice among PC enthusiasts and casual builders alike.
