All-in-one liquid cooler Thermaltake CL-W416-PL14SW-A

The Thermaltake CL-W416-PL14SW-A (TH280 V2 Ultra EX ARGB Sync) is an all-in-one liquid cooler with a 280 mm radiator that uses two CT140 EX ARGB Sync fans and a 2.1” 480×480 LCD display on the industrial-style pump cap. The unit features a fully modular design and MagForce 2.0 quick-connect pogo-pin contacts for faster, more reliable fan assembly. The cooler includes a high-performance copper base plate, a low-evaporation tube for long-term maintenance-free operation, and compatibility with a wide range of CPU sockets for medium to large PC chassis that support 280 mm AIOs.

Advantages

MagForce 2.0 enlarges the pogo-pin contact pads to reduce alignment errors and simplify daisy-chaining or single-cable connections. The modular fan design allows using the CT140 EX ARGB fans either connected to the AIO with one cable or powered individually with the supplied cables. The 2.1” LCD with 480×480 resolution supports 16.8 million colors for photos or video playback, and the copper base plate combined with a reliable pump improves heat transfer and coolant circulation for sustained cooling performance.

Suitable for

• Medium to large PC cases that accommodate 280 mm AIO radiators
• Enthusiast and gaming builds requiring ARGB lighting and a display on the pump
• Systems that need modular fan connections and simplified cable management

How to use

Mount the 280 mm radiator into a compatible medium or large case according to the case and radiator orientation that provides optimal airflow. Install the CT140 fans to the radiator and connect them using MagForce 2.0 quick-connects or the supplied individual cables depending on your preference. Secure the pump block onto the CPU with the appropriate mounting brackets for your CPU socket, apply thermal paste as instructed by the CPU cooler manual, and connect power and ARGB headers to the motherboard or TT RGB PLUS controller to enable lighting and LCD functions.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, ensure the radiator has sufficient case clearance and intake/exhaust airflow. Use the TT RGB PLUS 2.0 software or compatible 5V addressable RGB motherboard software (ASUS Aura Sync, GIGABYTE RGB Fusion, MSI Mystic Light, ASRock Polychrome) to configure lighting and upload images or GIFs to the LCD. Regularly check case airflow and dust filters; the low-evaporation tube design minimizes coolant loss and typically removes the need for refills under normal use.
