260W single-tower air cooler

The Thermaltake UX500 ARGB is a 120mm single-tower CPU air cooler rated for up to 260W of heat dissipation. It uses five 6mm direct-touch copper heatpipes bonded to an aluminium fin stack. A hydraulic-bearing 120mm PWM fan spins between 700 and 1800 RPM to deliver 62.72 CFM at a maximum of 25.0 dBA. The cooler ships in black with addressable RGB lighting on the fan frame.

Check socket clearance and ARGB header

Verify that your motherboard uses one of the listed Intel LGA sockets from 1150 through 1851 or AMD sockets from AM2 through AM5. The horizontal fan mounting means the cooler extends over the first memory slot; confirm your memory modules fit beneath the fin stack without interference. Ensure your board provides a 5V 3-pin ARGB header (2510 4-pin) to control the lighting; a standard 4-pin PWM fan header is also required for speed control.

Hydraulic bearing and non-interference layout

The hydraulic bearing reduces friction for quieter long-term operation compared with sleeve bearings. The single-tower fin array and horizontal fan mount keep the cooler height compatible with most mid-tower cases while leaving the top memory slots clear. At more than 450g the unit is substantial but within typical motherboard mounting limits. ARGB illumination is powered separately from the fan motor, so lighting stays consistent regardless of fan speed.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box with the Thermaltake UX500 ARGB cooler and do I need to buy mounting hardware separately?

The package includes the single-tower heatsink with five 6 mm copper heat pipes, a pre-installed 120 mm ARGB PWM fan on hydraulic bearing, and mounting brackets for Intel LGA 1851, 1700, 1200, 1156, 1155, 1151, 1150 and AMD AM5, AM4, FM2, FM1, AM3+, AM3, AM2+, AM2 sockets. No extra mounting kit is required for those platforms.

Should I choose this 120 mm single-tower version or look for a larger dual-tower model?

This 120 mm single-tower design is rated for 260 W TDP and weighs over 450 g, making it suited for mid-range CPUs and cases with limited clearance. A dual-tower cooler would only be necessary if your processor regularly exceeds 260 W or your chassis can accommodate a wider heatsink.

What does the 260 W TDP rating mean once the cooler is installed on my CPU?

It indicates the cooler can dissipate up to 260 watts of heat when the 120 mm fan runs between 700 and 1800 RPM, delivering 62.72 CFM airflow at a noise level of 25.0 dBA. Actual temperatures will depend on your CPU power draw, case airflow and ambient temperature.
