Thermaltake CL-P039-AL12BL-A

Overview

The Thermaltake CL-P039-AL12BL-A is a CPU cooler designed to maintain safe processor temperatures while minimizing noise. It features copper heat pipes that make direct contact with the CPU, enabling rapid heat transfer to aluminum fins for efficient dissipation. The included 120mm PWM fan adjusts its speed from 500 to 1500 RPM based on workload, balancing cooling performance and quiet operation. This cooler supports CPUs with up to 150 watts of thermal design power, making it suitable for a broad range of mainstream processors.

Its compatibility with numerous Intel and AMD sockets ensures flexibility for both upgrading older systems and building new ones. The option to use a Low Noise Cable further reduces fan speed and noise, making it ideal for environments where quiet operation is important.

Key features

• 120mm PWM fan that dynamically adjusts speed according to CPU load for efficient cooling and noise control
• Direct-contact copper heat pipes that enhance heat transfer from the CPU to the cooling fins
• Aluminum fins designed to dissipate heat effectively, maintaining stable processor temperatures
• Low Noise Cable included to limit fan speed between 400 and 1100 RPM, reducing noise to just over 22 dBA
• Supports CPUs with thermal design power up to 150 watts, covering a wide range of processors
• Wide socket compatibility with Intel and AMD platforms, providing versatility for various builds
• Maximum fan speed of 1500 RPM to deliver strong airflow when higher cooling is needed

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.
