Luchtkoeler Thermaltake CT120 EX ARGB 12 cm zand 500-2000 RPM

The Thermaltake CT120 EX ARGB Sync Gravel Sand is a 120 mm air cooler fan in sand color that operates from 500 to 2000 RPM and uses a hydraulic bearing. It features the new MagForce 2.0 quick connect system for faster magnetic connections between fans, nine addressable LEDs compatible with motherboard ARGB sync, and a reinforced frame designed to reduce air leakage and improve stability.

Advantages

MagForce 2.0 improves the magnetic connection with enlarged Pogo pin contact pads for greater alignment tolerance, simplifying daisy-chaining and cable connections. The fan delivers up to 68 CFM airflow and 2.95 mm-H2O static pressure while maintaining a measured noise level of 28.5 dB-A. A reinforced frame reduces deformation and air gaps, and round anti-vibration rubber pads on each corner damp vibrations to allow higher stable RPM. Nine addressable LEDs provide wide 16.8 million colour coverage and support motherboard sync without extra controllers.

Suitable for

• Case cooling in mid-tower and full-tower PC builds
• Radiator cooling for 120 mm liquid cooling setups
• Systems requiring addressable RGB lighting synced via motherboard
• Builds prioritizing quieter operation with higher airflow

How to use

Install the CT120 EX ARGB in a 120 mm fan mount on your case or radiator using the supplied screws, aligning the anti-vibration pads at the mounting corners. Connect the fan power connector to the motherboard fan header or fan controller. For ARGB lighting, plug the 5V addressable RGB cable into a compatible 5V ARGB motherboard header and enable synchronization via your motherboard RGB software (ASUS Aura Sync, GIGABYTE RGB Fusion, MSI Mystic Light, ASRock Polychrome or other supported utilities). When daisy-chaining multiple CT EX fans, use the MagForce 2.0 quick connect to magnetically join fans and secure the connection as indicated in the manual.

Recommendations

For optimal cooling and quiet operation, position intake and exhaust fans to maintain balanced airflow, avoid tight obstructions near the fan blades, and ensure the ARGB header on your motherboard is a 5V addressable header. Consult your motherboard manual for header pinout and enable ARGB sync in the manufacturer's lighting software.
