All-in-one liquid cooler ASUS TUF GAMING LC III 240 ARGB — 240 mm radiator, 2 x 120 mm ARGB fans, Socket AM5 support, Black

The ASUS TUF GAMING LC III 240 ARGB is an all-in-one liquid cooler designed to keep desktop CPUs at optimal operating temperatures. It combines a 240 mm radiator with two pre-installed 120 mm ARGB fans, a reinforced 400 mm sleeved tubing, and an upgraded pump with Aura ARGB lighting on the pump top. The unit is finished in black and is compatible with a wide range of Intel and AMD sockets.

Advantages

The cooler offers higher airflow and static pressure compared with the previous TUF Gaming LC II series, improving heat dissipation. Pre-installed integrated fans and a single cable for power and lighting simplify installation and cable management. The pump uses a three-phase, six-slot, four-pole design for up to twice the lifespan, up to 30% better efficiency and reduced noise. Reinforced sleeved tubing increases durability and improves compatibility with different chassis layouts.

Suitable for

• Gaming PCs that require reliable CPU cooling
• Systems with Intel LGA 1851, LGA 1700 or LGA 1200 sockets
• Systems with AMD AM5 or AM4 sockets
• Builds where ARGB lighting and a clean interior are desired

How to use

Install the radiator and fans in your chassis using the included mounting screws, orienting the radiator for optimal airflow. Mount the pump block onto the CPU socket compatible with your processor (see supported sockets) and secure it with the supplied bracket and mounting hardware. Connect the pump and fan cables to appropriate headers on the motherboard, and plug the single ARGB/power cable to control lighting and power. Configure fan curves and ARGB lighting via your motherboard software or supported controller.

Recommendations

For best results, ensure good case airflow by using intake and exhaust fans, periodically check that tubing and fittings are secure, and monitor CPU temperatures after installation. Use motherboard fan control (PWM) to balance cooling performance and noise.
