240 mm AIO liquid cooler

The Thermaltake TH240 ARGB Sync is an all-in-one liquid cooler with a 240 mm aluminium radiator and two 120 mm fans. It targets builders who want CPU cooling with addressable RGB lighting that can be synchronised through a 5 V motherboard header. The unit ships factory-filled and is ready to install without filling or maintenance.

Socket compatibility list

The copper cold plate mounts on Intel sockets LGA 1700, 1200, 1150, 1151, 1155, 1156, 1366, 2011, 2011-3 and 2066 as well as AMD sockets AM4, AM3+, AM3, AM2+, AM2, FM2 and FM1. Extra LGA 1700 brackets are not included and must be obtained separately from the manufacturer if your board requires them.

Installation notes and common issues

The package includes an analog ARGB controller, two 5 V ARGB signal cables and both coarse and fine mounting screws for the radiator and fans. Tubing length is 400 mm, which limits radiator placement in larger cases. Missing LGA 1700 brackets are the most frequent reason the cooler cannot be fitted on newer Intel platforms.

Questions about this item

How does the 240 mm radiator perform inside a typical case?

The 273.00 x 120.00 x 27.00 mm aluminum radiator fits standard 240 mm mounts and dissipates heat through two 120 mm fans pushing 59.28 CFM each at 1500 RPM.

What does the 5V ARGB header actually control on this cooler?

The 5V ARGB header-3 Pin connects to ASUS, Gigabyte, MSI or ASRock motherboard software to synchronize lighting effects across the pump block and both included fans.

Will the 400 mm tubes reach a top-mounted radiator in a mid-tower?

The 400 mm rubber tubes span from a CPU socket to a top or front 240 mm mounting area in most mid-tower cases, and the universal Intel/AMD bracket kit secures the copper block.
