FW240 White ARGB V2 CPU Water Cooler with IPS LCD Screen - Quiet 240mm

In this review the FW240 White ARGB V2 is assessed as a midrange AIO aimed at builders who want a balance of cooling performance and visual customization. The single biggest reason to consider it is the IPS LCD water pump which supports static and dynamic images and system screen projection, adding personalization beyond typical RGB while the 240mm radiator and dual 2000RPM fans handle sustained heat. The review focuses on real-world fit, noise, and the practical benefits of the LCD pump for a custom desktop build.

Key Features

• IPS LCD water pump: The pump features an IPS 320 x 240 screen that supports DIY static and dynamic picture switching to personalize the system display while the cooler operates.
• 240mm radiator: The 277 x 120 x 52mm radiator provides a broad surface area that helps dissipate heat quickly when paired with the included fans.
• High speed pump: A pump rated at about 3000RPM improves heat absorption and circulation for sustained cooling under load while maintaining low operating noise around 23dBA.
• Dual PWM fans: Two TL-P12W-S PWM fans spin up to 2000RPM with S-FDB bearings and blade optimization to deliver high static pressure and reduced operational noise.
• ARGB lighting: 5V 3-pin ARGB synchronization lets the fans match motherboard lighting for coordinated effects while avoiding excessive brightness.
• Wide compatibility: Mounting hardware supports AMD AM4/AM5 and a range of Intel sockets including LGA1700 for broad platform support.

Who It's For

The FW240 is best for PC builders who want more than basic RGB and value a customizable visual element on the pump head; streamers or system builders who like to show off a custom image on an IPS screen will appreciate this feature. It is also suitable for users running mid to high TDP CPUs who need a reliable 240mm AIO with strong airflow from two 2000RPM fans.

Users seeking the absolute quietest solution or extreme overclockers aiming for the highest thermal headroom might look elsewhere to larger radiators or custom loops; similarly, buyers without a 5V 3-pin ARGB header on their motherboard should account for lighting limitations before purchasing.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Unique IPS LCD pump adds clear visual customization while preserving pump functionality.
• Effective cooling from a 277 x 120 x 52mm radiator combined with two high-speed PWM fans.
• ARGB synchronization and PWM fan control allow coordinated lighting and automatic fan speed adjustment.
• Low pump noise around 23dBA is a practical advantage for everyday use.

Cons

• ARGB requires a 5V 3-pin motherboard header, so lighting features may be limited on older boards.
• As a 240mm AIO it has less thermal headroom than larger radiators for extreme overclocking.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the LCD pump display custom images?
Yes, the IPS 320 x 240 screen supports DIY static and dynamic image switching and system projection support via the pump software.

Will the ARGB work on any motherboard?
The ARGB lighting requires a 5V 3-pin ARGB header on the motherboard to synchronize lighting; without that header lighting may not be controllable.

Which CPU sockets are supported?
The cooler includes mounting hardware for AMD AM4/AM5 and a broad range of Intel sockets including LGA1700.
