Air cooler Darkflash Z4 Pro Mist White — 120 mm fan, Hydraulic bearing, 200 W TDP, supports AM5/AM4/LGA1700/1200/115x

Darkflash Z4 Pro Mist is a white tower air CPU cooler with a 120 mm hydraulic-bearing fan that spins between 800 and 1600 RPM. The cooler uses direct-contact heat pipes and a laser-engraved top cap design to improve heat transfer and dissipation, and it is rated for thermal loads up to 200 W TDP. It supports a wide range of modern CPU sockets including AMD AM5/AM4 and Intel LGA 1700/1200/115x, making it suitable for standard desktop PC builds that require efficient tower-style cooling.

Advantages

The cooler combines direct-contact copper heat pipes and a high-efficiency 120 mm fan with hydraulic bearing to deliver stable cooling performance while maintaining relatively low noise levels. PWM support allows automatic fan speed adjustment based on CPU temperature, and the compact tower dimensions make installation feasible in many mid-tower cases. The white finish and engraved top cap provide a neutral aesthetic that fits a variety of system designs.

Suitable for

• Mainstream desktop CPUs with up to 200 W TDP
• Systems using AMD AM5 or AM4 sockets
• Systems using Intel LGA 1700, 1200 or 115x series sockets
• Compact tower builds where a 120 mm cooler is preferred

When it may not be suitable

This cooler is designed for typical tower-style air cooling and may not provide sufficient thermal headroom for heavily overclocked high-core-count CPUs that exceed 200 W sustained TDP. It may also be unsuitable for very small form-factor cases with restricted CPU cooler height clearance or unconventional mounting layouts.

Key specifications

• Heat pipes: Direct-contact copper heat pipes
• Rated TDP: up to 200 W
• Colour: White

How to use

Mount the cooler to the compatible CPU socket following the manufacturer’s mounting hardware and instructions for your specific motherboard platform. Apply a thin, even layer of thermal paste to the CPU heat-spreader before seating the cooler so the direct-contact heat pipes can make firm contact. Connect the fan’s 4-pin PWM cable to the CPU_FAN or an equivalent header on the motherboard to enable automatic speed control. Verify clearance for RAM modules and case side panels prior to final assembly.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm CPU socket compatibility (AM5/AM4 or Intel LGA 1700/1200/115x)
• Check case CPU cooler height clearance and RAM clearance
• Assess whether 200 W TDP rating meets your CPU thermal requirements
• Ensure motherboard has a 4-pin PWM fan header for automatic control

Recommendations

For typical desktop builds, use the motherboard’s PWM fan curve to balance cooling performance and noise. Reapply thermal paste after removal and reinstallation, and periodically clean dust from the fins and fan to maintain airflow and cooling efficiency.
