DS 120mm PWM 1800RPM CPU Cooler Fans - Twin Tower RGB Cooling

In this review of the DS 120mm PWM 1800RPM CPU Cooler Fans, the bottom line is simple: this kit is for desktop builders who want strong airflow, automatic ARGB lighting, and broad CPU socket compatibility without fuss. The reviewer found the cooler's combination of a twin tower aluminum radiator with four heat pipes and PWM-controlled 120mm fans delivers effective thermal performance for mainstream and midrange builds, while the Auto Rainbow RGB provides striking visual flair that requires no manual color configuration.

Key Features

• Broad socket compatibility: The cooler supports a wide range of Intel and AMD sockets so it fits many desktop upgrades and builds.
• PWM fan control: The included 120mm PWM fan allows automatic speed adjustment through the motherboard for a balance of cooling and noise control.
• Auto-change RGB lighting: The LED fans cycle through rainbow colors automatically, adding a halo lighting effect without extra configuration.
• Four heat pipe twin tower: Four heat pipes and a twin tower aluminum radiator offer improved heat dissipation compared with single-tower designs.
• Hydro bearing fans: The fans use hydro bearings for longer life and smoother operation during typical desktop use.

Who It's For

This cooler is best for PC builders and upgraders who want a significant thermal uplift over stock coolers and appreciate built-in RGB lighting that works out of the box. It suits users installing on compatible Intel sockets such as LGA 1155 or 1366 and a variety of AMD sockets including AM4.

Those building compact mini-ITX systems or requiring an ultra-quiet, low-profile cooler should look elsewhere; the twin tower layout and 120mm fans make this cooler better suited to mid-tower and larger cases where clearance and airflow are not constrained.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Strong thermal design from the 4 heat pipes and twin tower aluminum radiator improves CPU cooling headroom.
• Automatic ARGB lighting provides vivid visual effect without manual control panels or software setup.
• PWM fan support enables motherboard-based automatic speed control to reduce noise at low loads.

Cons

• Twin tower size can present clearance issues in smaller cases or with tall RAM modules.
• The package does not include advanced RGB control software, so lighting is automatic rather than user-customizable.

Our Verdict

The DS 120mm PWM cooler is a solid choice for mainstream builders who need reliable cooling and eye-catching automatic RGB without extra setup. Its twin tower and four heat pipe layout deliver practical thermal gains, and PWM control keeps noise manageable, making it good value for users with sufficient case clearance who want both performance and visual impact.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this fit my motherboard socket?
Yes; the cooler supports a wide range of Intel and AMD sockets listed in the specifications, but always check case clearance and mounting compatibility first.

Do I need additional RGB software to use the lighting?
No; the fans use auto-change RGB lighting that cycles through colors without external software, though motherboard ARGB sync may not be required.

Is the fan noisy under load?
Noise is rated around 25 dBA and the PWM fan reduces speed at low load, so typical desktop use is generally quiet; noise will increase near the 1800 RPM top end.
