Air cooler Thermaltake ASTRIA 400

The ASTRIA 400 ARGB Lighting CPU Cooler is a single-tower air cooler designed for everyday and high-performance desktop CPUs. It combines a meteor-shower style ARGB glowing top cover with a 120mm high-airflow ARGB fan and six Ø6mm U-shaped copper heat pipes to deliver up to 230W TDP cooling capacity. The cooler supports 5V addressable RGB headers for synchronization with major motherboard RGB software and includes universal brackets for Intel and AMD sockets, including LGA1700 and AM5.

Advantages

The top cap features a unique flowing ARGB lighting pattern that creates a meteor-shower effect, while the cooler’s 27 LEDs (18 on the top cap and 9 on the fan) produce coordinated lighting controlled via motherboard software. Six Ø6mm U-shaped copper heat pipes make direct contact with the CPU for efficient heat transfer, and the redesigned fin stack improves airflow. The 120mm high-airflow fan provides strong airflow and static pressure with a moderate noise level, and the cooler is engineered for broad RAM compatibility and easy installation across modern Intel and AMD sockets.

Key specifications

• Cooling capacity: 230W TDP
• Heat pipes: 6 × Ø6mm U-shaped copper heat pipes (direct contact)
• Fan: 120mm high airflow ARGB fan (65 CFM, 2.56 mm-H2O, 26.8 dBA)
• LEDs: 27 total (18 on top cap, 9 on fan)
• ARGB header: 5V addressable RGB header compatibility
• Socket support: Universal brackets for Intel and AMD, includes LGA1700 and AM5

How to use

Install the universal mounting brackets supplied with the cooler according to your CPU socket type (refer to the included manual). Attach the cooler so the U-shaped heat pipes make direct contact with the CPU integrated heat spreader, secure the fan to the fin stack, and connect the fan power cable and the 5V addressable RGB connector to the corresponding motherboard headers. Use your motherboard’s RGB control software (ASUS Aura Sync, GIGABYTE RGB Fusion, MSI Mystic Light Sync or ASRock Polychrome) to configure lighting effects.

Recommendations

Ensure your case has sufficient clearance for a single-tower 120mm cooler and verify RAM height compatibility before installation. For best thermal performance, apply an appropriate amount of thermal paste between the CPU and cooler base and confirm the motherboard supports a 5V ARGB header to use the lighting features without extra controllers.
