Air cooler Akasa Soho H4 Plus 12 cm Black Hydro Dynamic Bearing

Akasa Soho H4 Plus is a 120 mm air cooler designed for reliable CPU cooling in compact and mid-size PC builds. The cooler uses four copper heat pipes with Direct Touch Technology and a Hydro Dynamic Bearing fan to dissipate heat efficiently while keeping noise levels low. It supports modern Intel and AMD sockets including LGA 1700 and is finished in a black top cover with addressable RGB lighting compatible with major motherboard ecosystems.

Advantages

The cooler offers a broad contact surface and four high-performance copper heat pipes for effective heat transfer and a rated TDP support up to 185 W. The Hydro Dynamic Bearing fan improves lubrication for quieter operation and extends fan life up to approximately 40,000 hours. Addressable RGB provides over 16.8 million colour combinations and the top cover design gives a distinctive appearance. The mounting kit is designed for straightforward installation across a range of Intel and AMD motherboards, and an eccentric layout improves RAM compatibility, including mini-ITX setups.

Suitable for

• Cooling desktop CPUs up to 185 W TDP
• Compact and mid-tower PC builds where a 120 mm cooler fits
• Systems using Intel sockets such as LGA 1700 and older LGA families

How to use

Install the Akasa Soho H4 Plus using the included mounting kit matched to your motherboard socket. Apply a thin, even layer of thermal paste to the CPU heat spreader, position the cooler so the base and heat pipes contact the CPU, and secure the mounting brackets according to the manual. Connect the fan power cable to the CPU_FAN or SYS_FAN header and the addressable RGB cable to a compatible ARGB header on the motherboard to enable lighting control through supported RGB software.

Recommendations

For best results, verify clearance around RAM modules and inside your case before installation. Ensure the ARGB header standard on your motherboard matches the cooler’s connector to avoid lighting control issues. Periodically clean dust from the heatsink and fan to maintain cooling performance.
