Single-tower 260 W air cooler

The Thermaltake UX500 ARGB White uses five 6 mm direct-touch copper heat pipes and an aluminium fin stack to dissipate up to 260 W of CPU heat. A 120 mm PWM fan spins between 700 and 1800 RPM, pushing 62.72 CFM across the tower. The cooler fits Intel LGA 1851, 1700, 1200, 1156, 1155, 1151, 1150 and AMD AM5, AM4, FM2, FM1, AM3+, AM3, AM2+, AM2 sockets.

Hydraulic-bearing fan at 25.0 dBA

The hydraulic bearing reduces friction, keeping operational noise to 25.0 dBA at typical speeds. PWM control lets the fan ramp only when the CPU demands it, limiting power draw during idle or light workloads. ARGB lighting runs from a 5 V 2510 4-pin header without adding measurable thermal load.

Non-interference layout for tall memory

Horizontal fan mounting and a single-tower profile leave the top memory slots completely clear, so high-profile DIMMs install without clearance issues. The white aluminium fins and ARGB fan suit light-themed builds. At more than 450 g the unit feels substantial, and the bundled mounting hardware covers all listed Intel and AMD platforms.

Questions about this item

How do I install the UX500 ARGB White cooler on an Intel LGA 1700 socket, and which step is often missed?

Mount the supplied Intel backplate and standoffs, place the cooler on the CPU with pre-applied paste, secure the four spring screws in a cross pattern, then connect the 4-pin PWM and 5V ARGB headers; the step most often missed is plugging the 5V ARGB connector into the motherboard header.

What maintenance will the 120 mm hydraulic-bearing fan need over time?

The hydraulic bearing is sealed and does not require lubrication; periodically clean dust from the aluminum fin stack and fan blades with compressed air to maintain the 62.72 CFM airflow and 25.0 dBA noise level.

At what thermal load does the single-tower design hit its limit during sustained workloads?

The cooler is rated for 260 W TDP; sustained loads above that level will cause temperatures to rise faster than the five 6 mm heat pipes and 120 mm fan can dissipate.
