Koeler Thermaltake Riing Silent 12 RGB Sync Edition

Thermaltake Riing Silent 12 RGB Sync Edition is a 120 mm CPU cooler designed for PC enthusiasts and gamers who need efficient cooling with low noise. The cooler combines a tower heatsink with 0.4 mm aluminum fins, four direct-touch Ø6 mm copper heat pipes, and an integrated 120 mm PWM fan with a patented RGB LED ring that synchronizes with major motherboard RGB software.

Advantages

The Riing Silent 12 RGB offers high thermal conductivity through four direct-contact heat pipes and closely spaced aluminum fins, while its 11-blade PWM fan and hydraulic bearing reduce operating noise and extend lifespan. The patented RGB LED ring provides uniform lighting and can be controlled directly via ASUS Aura Sync, ASRock RGB LED, BIOSTAR Vivid LED DJ, GIGABYTE RGB Fusion and MSI Mystic Light Sync when connected to a 12V RGB header. The cooler includes anti-vibration rubber pads, special fan clips for easy mounting, and a low-noise cable that lowers measured sound level and fan speed.

Suitable for

• Air-cooling for desktop Intel and AMD CPUs (compatible sockets listed below)
• Silent gaming and multimedia PC builds
• Systems where motherboard RGB synchronization is required
• Compact towers and mainstream ATX builds given its 140 × 159 × 74 mm dimensions

How to use

Mount the backplate and secure the cooler with the included mounting kit according to your CPU socket type. Attach the fan to the heatsink using the supplied special-designed fan clips to ensure even pressure and stable positioning. Connect the fan’s PWM cable to the motherboard CPU fan header for automatic speed control and plug the RGB cable into a 12V RGB header to enable synchronization with supported motherboard RGB software. Use the low-noise cable if you prefer reduced fan speed and lower acoustic output.

Recommendations

For best results, apply a thin, even layer of thermal paste between the CPU lid and the cooler base, ensure the fan orientation provides optimal airflow through the case, and verify motherboard RGB header compatibility (12V) before connecting the RGB cable.
