Mascom International stocks the MSI MAG CoreFrozr AA13 in Black at KSh 9,000, brand new and sealed, ready for Intel LGA 1700, LGA 1851, AMD AM4 and AM5 desktops. This MSI MAG CoreFrozr AA13 pairs a single aluminium tower with four 6mm direct-touch copper heat pipes and one 120mm ARGB PWM fan, rated to cool processors up to 240W. The fan turns at 510 to 2070 RPM, pushes as much as 62.6 CFM and keeps noise between 30.1 and 34.1 dBA. At 152mm tall it fits most mid-tower cases. Visit us on Kimathi Street in the Old Mutual Building, Nairobi CBD.
Designed for gamers, 3D artists, accountants running heavy spreadsheets and developers, the MSI MAG CoreFrozr AA13 tames a desktop that slows down or roars under load. When a processor overheats it cuts its own speed, so frames drop in games and exports take longer. Many first-time builders in Kenya also find that unlocked chips such as the Ryzen 7 9700X or Core Ultra 7 265K ship with no cooler in the box. The copper pipes carry heat up to the fin stack, and the 120mm fan clears it out of the case. The Black finish blends into dark cases, so the ARGB fan lighting stands out instead of the metal.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that list cooling parts with a model code and nothing more, Mascom International explains which chips and cases suit the MSI MAG CoreFrozr AA13 and when a liquid cooler makes more sense. Buyers throughout Kenya report cooler, quieter gaming after swapping a stock fan for the MSI MAG CoreFrozr AA13. You can pay by M-Pesa or cash when the parcel arrives, with pay-on-arrival delivery to all 47 counties, or test the lighting at our store first. Orders placed in Nairobi and its environs arrive the same day.
Common Questions About the MSI MAG CoreFrozr AA13
What is the MSI MAG CoreFrozr AA13 Black price in Kenya?
The MSI MAG CoreFrozr AA13 Black is priced at KSh 9,000, brand new and sealed, at Mascom International on Kimathi Street, Nairobi. For that amount you get the heatsink, the 120mm ARGB PWM fan and the Intel and AMD mounting hardware. A 12-month warranty through Mascom International and pay-on-arrival delivery to any county come with it. The White version costs the same KSh 9,000, while the MSI MAG CoreLiquid A13 240 liquid cooler sells for KSh 16,000, a KSh 7,000 step up.
Is the MSI MAG CoreFrozr AA13 better than a 240mm AIO like the MSI MAG CoreLiquid A13 240?
The MSI MAG CoreFrozr AA13 costs KSh 7,000 less than the MSI MAG CoreLiquid A13 240 and has no pump or liquid to wear out. The 240mm AIO spreads heat across a two-fan radiator, so it keeps hot chips like a Core i9 or Ryzen 9 cooler during long all-core loads. It also needs a case with a 240mm radiator mount. Pick the air cooler for Core i5, Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 7 gaming builds, and the AIO for heavy rendering on top-tier chips.
Does the MSI MAG CoreFrozr AA13 support Intel Core Ultra and AMD Ryzen 9000?
Yes, the MSI MAG CoreFrozr AA13 mounts on Intel LGA 1851 for Core Ultra 200S chips and on AMD AM5 for Ryzen 7000, 8000 and 9000. It also fits older LGA 1700 boards running 12th to 14th Gen Core, and AM4 boards running Ryzen 1000 through 5000. That means you can move it to a new board when you upgrade later, instead of buying a fresh cooler. Older sockets such as LGA 1200 and LGA 1151 are not on the supported list.
How does the cooler hold up in Mombasa heat and coastal humidity?
The MSI MAG CoreFrozr AA13 works in Mombasa, Malindi and Kilifi, though hot room air limits every cooler, air or liquid. A heatsink can only bring the chip down toward the temperature of the air around it, so a hot coastal room means higher readings than in Nairobi. Keep the PC out of direct sun, leave space behind the case and add an exhaust fan. With no pump or tubing, there is nothing on this cooler to age in the heat.
Who should buy the MSI MAG CoreFrozr AA13 Black, and who should skip it?
The MSI MAG CoreFrozr AA13 Black is the right buy for a mid-range gaming PC or office workstation in a dark case, where you want lower temperatures without paying for liquid cooling. Gamers moving up from a stock cooler and journalists editing video on a Ryzen 7 fit it well. Skip it if your case cannot clear a 152mm cooler. Skip it too if you push a Core i9 or Ryzen 9 through daily renders; the MSI MAG CoreLiquid A13 240 suits that work better.
What does the rifle bearing in the fan mean?
A rifle bearing is a sleeve bearing with a spiral groove that moves oil along the shaft as the MSI MAG CoreFrozr AA13 fan turns. The groove keeps the shaft coated, which gives smoother, quieter running than a plain sleeve bearing of the same size. You will notice it most at low speed, when the fan idles during browsing or office work. If the bearing starts to rattle or grind early, the 12-month warranty through Mascom International covers it as a manufacturing defect.
Is the MSI MAG CoreFrozr AA13 good for a video editing or 3D rendering PC?
For editing on a Ryzen 7 or a non-K Core i7 or Core Ultra 7, the MSI MAG CoreFrozr AA13 works well within its 240W rating. Content creators and wedding videographers cutting 4K footage can export without the chip slowing itself down from heat. Unlocked Intel K chips can draw more than 240W during long all-core exports, so they run hotter and may slow slightly on this cooler. For a K chip that renders for hours, a 240mm AIO is the safer pairing.
What does the direct-touch heat pipe design do?
Direct-touch means the four 6mm copper heat pipes of the MSI MAG CoreFrozr AA13 are flattened at the base and press straight onto the processor lid, with no copper plate in between. Heat passes from the chip into the pipes in one step, then travels up to the aluminium fins, where the fan blows it away. Spread a thin, even layer of thermal paste so every pipe makes contact, since small gaps between pipes are normal on this style of base.
Technical Specifications
Core Function and Heat Transfer
- 240W heat rating — matches Ryzen 5, Ryzen 7 and non-K Intel chips with room to spare during gaming.
- 4 × 6mm copper heat pipes with direct contact — heat leaves the processor lid and enters the pipes without a base plate between.
- Aluminium stack of 50 fins — heat spreads across many thin plates, and passing air carries it away.
- Fan speed range of 510-2070 RPM — the motherboard runs it slowly at idle and lifts it during heavy load.
- 62.6 CFM peak airflow — the volume of air the fan moves through the tower each minute.
- 2.36 mmH2O static pressure — a measure of how hard the fan pushes air through closely spaced fins.
Compatibility and Mounting
- LGA 1851 support — ready for Intel Core Ultra 200S desktop chips on Z890 and B860 boards.
- LGA 1700 support — fits Intel 12th, 13th and 14th Gen Core chips on Z690, B760 and similar boards.
- AM5 support — fits Ryzen 7000, 8000 and 9000 desktop chips on X870, B850, B650 and A620 boards.
- AM4 support — fits older Ryzen builds today, and a later AM5 board can reuse the same cooler.
- 152mm cooler height — measure your case's listed CPU cooler clearance, as slim office towers often fall short.
- Fan and lighting plugs — 4-pin PWM goes to CPU_FAN, and 3-pin 5V ARGB goes to the board's addressable header.
Build Quality and Finish
- Black heatsink and fan — a dark look that disappears into black cases and lets the ARGB glow stand out.
- Single tower layout — one fin block and one fan, with fewer parts to line up than a dual-tower or liquid cooler.
- Rifle bearing — a spiral-grooved sleeve bearing that keeps oil moving along the shaft for smooth running.
- Copper and aluminium construction — no pump, tubes or coolant, so nothing can leak inside the PC.
- Noise level of 30.1-34.1 dBA — quiet at idle and a gentle hum when the fan reaches top speed.
Inclusions and RGB Control
- One 120mm CycloBlade7 ARGB PWM fan — MSI's own blade design, supplied together with the heatsink.
- Intel and AMD mounting parts — one kit for all four supported sockets, so no extra bracket is needed.
- Addressable RGB LEDs — each LED can show its own colour for rainbow, wave and breathing effects.
- MSI Mystic Light compatible — set colours from the same app that controls MSI motherboards and memory.
- Direct-to-board wiring — both cables plug into standard motherboard headers without an extra hub.
