Thermalright Frozen Magic 240 White ARGB V2 CPU Aio Cooler - High

In this review the Thermalright Frozen Magic 240 White ARGB V2 is evaluated as a midrange 240mm all-in-one liquid cooler aimed at builders who want strong thermal performance plus addressable lighting without a lofty price. The bottom line: it cools well thanks to a full purple copper mirror base and dense 240 specification black aluminium fins, while the included TL-C12W-S V2 PWM fans balance airflow and noise. This review focuses on real-world fit, lighting integration, and installation tradeoffs so you can decide if it suits your build.

Key Features

• Full copper mirror base: The purple copper mirror plane base improves heat transfer to the cold plate for lower CPU temperatures under load.
• 240mm radiator with aluminium fins: The 240 specification black aluminium fins provide a large cooling surface to support sustained thermal performance for mainstream and higher TDP CPUs.
• Double PWM fans: The pair of TL-C12W-S V2 120mm PWM fans automatically vary speed up to 1600 RPM to balance cooling and noise based on CPU temperature.
• ARGB synchronisation: The fans and pump header use a 5V 3-pin ARGB connection for motherboard sync and support serial chaining to avoid running out of light headers.
• Wide platform compatibility: The mounting supports Intel LGA 115x/1200/1700/2011/2066 and AMD AM4/AM5 and older sockets, so it fits most current desktop platforms.

Who It's For

The Frozen Magic 240 White ARGB V2 is suited for PC builders who need reliable 240mm liquid cooling with attractive, synchronised lighting and who prioritize a quiet, efficient cooler over the absolute highest-end liquid solutions. It is a good match for gamers, content creators, and overclockers using mainstream and high-core-count CPUs within compatible sockets.

Users who require a very compact or single-fan low-profile solution should look elsewhere, and those who need extreme radiator capacity for heavy custom loop replacement or multi-radiator builds may prefer larger or specialty coolers. Also check that your case has at least 250mm chassis width and a free 5V 3-pin ARGB header for full lighting control.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Strong thermal transfer from the mirror copper base and dense aluminium fin cold plate.
• ARGB lighting synchronises to 5V 3-pin headers and supports serial chaining to add more lighting devices.
• Dual TL-C12W-S V2 PWM fans provide good airflow up to 72 CFM with a reasonable 28 dBA noise rating.
• Broad socket compatibility makes mounting straightforward for most builds.

Cons

• Installation experiences are mixed among users, so builders unfamiliar with AIO mounting may need the tutorial or extra patience.
• Fan top speed of 1600 RPM is modest compared with some high-performance fans if extreme cooling headroom is required.

Our Verdict

The Thermalright Frozen Magic 240 White ARGB V2 is a sensible choice for builders who want effective 240mm liquid cooling with integrated ARGB lighting and quiet PWM fans. It offers solid thermal design with a copper mirror base and paired high-performance fans, broad socket support, and useful lighting features, making it good value for mainstream to high-core-count CPUs as long as you accept a modest 1600 RPM fan ceiling and follow the installation guide if needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the ARGB work with motherboard headers?
The ARGB on the fans and pump header synchronises with a 5V 3-pin motherboard ARGB connector and supports serial chaining.

Will it fit my case?
It requires a 240mm radiator mount and a chassis width greater than 250mm; confirm clearance before purchase.

Are both fans powered from one connector?
A Y-adapter is included so the two fans can be connected in series to a single motherboard fan power connector, with ARGB then linked to the 5V 3-pin header.
