Connectivity and compatibility

The cooler connects directly to the five-volt ARGB header found on most mainstream motherboards, allowing seamless integration with popular lighting control software. This ensures that the LCD display and RGB fans can be synchronized with other components in your system without additional hardware. Its broad socket compatibility covers a wide range of Intel and AMD processors, making it a versatile choice for many builds.

Performance and reliability

With a copper water block that efficiently draws heat from the CPU and a 27 mm aluminum radiator that dissipates it quickly, this cooler maintains stable temperatures even during intensive tasks like gaming, rendering, or streaming. The PWM-controlled fans adjust their speed based on thermal demand, keeping noise levels low during light workloads and ramping up only when necessary. This balance supports both performance and a quiet environment.

Installation and setup

Installation is straightforward thanks to flexible rubber tubing and compatibility with multiple CPU sockets. The cooler fits well in mid-tower and small-form-factor cases that support a 240 mm radiator. Its direct ARGB header connection simplifies lighting setup, allowing you to control the pump display and fan lighting through your existing motherboard software without extra adapters or controllers.

Ideal uses and environments

This liquid cooler suits gamers who need consistent boost clocks during long sessions, content creators who want to monitor workload progress visually, and office users who prefer a quiet system. Its combination of thermal efficiency, quiet operation, and customizable display makes it a strong choice for anyone looking to enhance both the performance and appearance of their PC build.

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.
