Thermaltake UX400 ARGB CPU Cooler CL-P142-AL12SW-A

Single-Tower Air Cooler with ARGB

The Thermaltake UX400 ARGB is a single-tower CPU air cooler built around four 6mm copper heat pipes that make direct contact with the processor. It supports Intel LGA 1851, 1700, 1200, 1156, 1155, 1151 and 1150 sockets plus AMD AM5, AM4, FM2, FM1, AM3+, AM3, AM2+ and AM2 platforms. Rated for 240W TDP, it targets builders who need reliable thermal headroom for mid-range to high-end desktop CPUs without moving to liquid cooling.

Hydraulic-Bearing 120mm Fan

A 120mm PWM fan spins between 700 and 1800 RPM, pushing 62.72 CFM at a listed 25.0 dBA while the hydraulic bearing reduces friction for longer life. The fan mounts horizontally on the aluminium fin stack and draws power through a standard 4-pin connector, while addressable RGB lighting connects to a 5V 2510 header. The cooler weighs more than 450g and its non-interference design clears all memory heights, so no DIMM slots are blocked during installation.

Upgrade Path from Stock or Compact Coolers

This cooler replaces basic box coolers or low-profile towers that cannot sustain 240W loads, delivering higher airflow and lower noise under sustained workloads. The jump is worth it when a builder moves to a processor with a higher thermal design power or wants ARGB lighting synced to the motherboard without clearance conflicts. Buyers who need dual-fan push-pull configurations or larger radiators for extreme overclocking will need a different class of cooler.
