Thermaltake CLW360PL12SWA TH120 ARGB Sync V2 CPU Cooler

Name: Thermaltake CLW360PL12SWA TH120 ARGB Sync V2 CPU Cooler
Brand: Thermaltake
SKU: CLW360PL12SWA

Overview

The Thermaltake TH120 ARGB Sync V2 is a compact all-in-one liquid cooler that pairs functional CPU cooling with a pronounced aesthetic focus. At its core is a high-performance copper base plate that draws heat away from the processor and transfers it into the liquid loop, where a PWM-controlled pump circulating at 1,500 to 3,300 RPM moves coolant through the slim 157 x 120 x 27mm radiator. The included CT120 ARGB fan pushes 57.05 CFM of air through the radiator at speeds between 500 and 2,000 RPM, keeping noise levels at a rated 25.8 dB-A maximum — a reasonable figure for quiet-conscious builders.

The V2 refresh introduces an updated industrial design on the pump housing, highlighted by an infinity mirror lighting effect that gives the ARGB illumination a sense of visual depth. The 360-degree rotatable cap ensures the design stays properly oriented no matter your mounting configuration. ARGB headers connect directly to your motherboard for synchronization with ASUS Aura Sync, GIGABYTE RGB Fusion, MSI Mystic Light Sync, or ASRock Polychrome software, so the cooler's lighting integrates seamlessly with the rest of your components. Socket support is extensive, spanning Intel's latest LGA 1851 and 1700 through legacy 1150, and AMD's AM5 and AM4 down to AM2, making it a versatile option across a broad range of builds. The 120mm form factor keeps it compact enough for smaller cases while still offering meaningful cooling improvement over stock air coolers.

Key Features

Compatible Sockets - Intel LGA 1851/1700/1200/1156/1155/1151/1150 and AMD AM5/AM4/AM3+/AM3/AM2+/AM2

Sync with Motherboard RGB Software : Designed to synchronize with ASUS Aura Sync, GIGABYTE RGB Fusion, MSI Mystic Light Sync, and ASRock Polychrome.

Keep it COLD with Copper : The high-performance copper base plate accelerates heat conductivity. The reliable pump enables maximum water circulation, keeping the copper plate continuously cool.

New Version, New Design : TH V2 ARGB was given an industrial look to freshen up the 360-degree rotational cap. Infinity Mirror Lighting can bring more diverse visual effects to the build.

Pros & Cons

👍 Pros

Copper base plate provides excellent thermal conductivity for efficient heat transfer from the CPU
Broad socket compatibility covers both current Intel LGA 1851/1700 and AMD AM5 platforms plus many legacy sockets
Infinity mirror pump cap with ARGB lighting creates an eye-catching visual centerpiece in the build
Extensive socket compatibility covers both current and older Intel and AMD platforms including LGA 1851 and AM5
Infinity mirror pump cap with ARGB lighting adds a striking visual element to the build
360-degree rotatable pump cap allows you to orient the logo and lighting correctly regardless of mounting position
Copper base plate provides efficient heat transfer from the CPU to the liquid cooling loop
360-degree rotational cap lets you properly orient the logo regardless of mounting direction
PWM-controlled fan and pump allow automatic speed adjustment for a balance of cooling and noise
PWM fan control allows the cooler to run near-silent at idle and ramp up only under load

👎 Cons

120mm single-fan radiator has limited cooling headroom compared to 240mm or 360mm AIO coolers
120mm radiator has limited cooling capacity compared to 240mm or 360mm AIOs, restricting use with high-TDP processors
Single fan configuration means less total airflow and heat dissipation than dual- or triple-fan setups
The 2-year warranty is shorter than what some competing AIO coolers offer
May struggle to keep high-TDP processors cool under sustained heavy workloads due to the compact radiator size
2-year warranty is shorter than the 5- or 6-year warranties offered by some competing AIO brands
25.8 dB-A at full speed is audible in quiet builds, though moderate by AIO standards
The slim radiator and single fan configuration leaves little room for upgrading cooling capacity
Slim radiator design prioritizes compact fitment over maximum thermal surface area

Frequently Asked Questions

What CPU sockets does the TH120 ARGB Sync V2 support?

It supports Intel LGA 1851, 1700, 1200, 1156, 1155, 1151, and 1150, as well as AMD AM5, AM4, AM3+, AM3, AM2+, and AM2 sockets.

What CPU sockets does the TH120 ARGB Sync V2 support?

It supports Intel LGA 1851, 1700, 1200, 1156, 1155, 1151, and 1150 as well as AMD AM5, AM4, AM3+, AM3, AM2+, and AM2 sockets, covering a wide range of current and legacy platforms.

Can I sync the RGB lighting with my motherboard software?

Yes, the ARGB lighting synchronizes with ASUS Aura Sync, GIGABYTE RGB Fusion, MSI Mystic Light Sync, and ASRock Polychrome for unified lighting control across your build.

Can I control the RGB lighting through my motherboard software?

Yes, it synchronizes with ASUS Aura Sync, GIGABYTE RGB Fusion, MSI Mystic Light Sync, and ASRock Polychrome for unified lighting control across your build.

How does the 360-degree rotational cap work?

The cap on the pump block rotates a full 360 degrees, allowing you to orient the Thermaltake logo and infinity mirror lighting in the correct upright position regardless of how the cooler is mounted.

How loud is this cooler under load?

The CT120 ARGB fan produces up to 25.8 dB-A at maximum speed, which is relatively quiet for a 120mm AIO. At lower PWM speeds it runs near-silent.

Is a 120mm radiator enough for my CPU?

A 120mm AIO is well-suited for mid-range processors and moderate workloads. For high-end CPUs with heavy overclocks or sustained all-core loads, a 240mm or 360mm radiator would provide more thermal headroom.

What is the noise level of this cooler at full speed?

The CT120 ARGB fan reaches a maximum noise level of 25.8 dB-A, which is relatively quiet even under load.

Is the pump speed adjustable?

Yes, the pump operates via PWM control and runs between 1,500 and 3,300 RPM, allowing your motherboard to adjust pump speed based on CPU temperature.

What does the infinity mirror on the pump head look like?

The pump cap features an illuminated infinity mirror effect that creates a layered, depth-of-light visual through the ARGB LEDs, adding a distinctive focal point visible through case windows.
