CPU active cooler Darkflash E400 (black) — tower air cooler for processors

Darkflash E400 active CPU cooling (black)

DarkFlash E400 is an active CPU cooling that combines great performance with a modern design. The distinguishing feature of this model is the dot-matrix LED panel on top of the heatsink. It displays the current CPU temperature, so you can quickly assess what conditions your CPU is operating under - without running additional software. The information is presented in a simple way and is visible even in low light.

Effective heat dissipation and wide compatibility

Responsible for cooling is an aluminum heatsink supported by four 6mm copper heat pipes that are in direct contact with the processor. This design enables fast heat dissipation from the surface of the CPU and supports units with a TDP of up to 230 watts. The cooling is compatible with a wide range of sockets: Intel LGA 115X / 1366 / 1700 / 18XX and AMD AM4 / AM5, so you can easily fit it into most popular motherboards.

Quiet PWM fan and ARGB backlighting

A 120-millimeter fan with adjustable speed from 800 to 2000 RPM is responsible for airflow. Thanks to the use of a hydrodynamic bearing, the fan runs quietly (37.48 dBA maximum) and is estimated to last 40,000 hours. The fan blades are designed to evenly disperse the light from the ARGB backlighting, which can be synchronized with popular motherboard manufacturers' systems such as ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light, Gigabyte RGB Fusion and ASRock Polychrome. The backlight works through a 3-pin 5V ARGB header and is not compatible with 12V RGB.

Smart control and full personalization

There is also dedicated software at the user's disposal to select the data displayed on the top LED screen, change the temperature units (°C/°F), and set the real-time rotation of various parameters.

Included

• Active cooling
• Mounting system for Intel and AMD platforms
• Thermal conductive paste
• Set of mounting screws
• Adapters for ARGB and power supply

How to use

Install the Darkflash E400 by first removing the existing cooler and cleaning the CPU heatspreader. Apply a thin, even layer of compatible thermal paste to the CPU, align the E400 mounting bracket with the motherboard socket according to the included instructions, and secure the cooler with the provided screws or retention mechanism. Connect the fan cable to the motherboard CPU_FAN or appropriate fan header and verify fan operation in BIOS or monitoring software. Ensure sufficient clearance for RAM modules and case panels before finalizing installation.

Recommendations

The cooler is designed for standard desktop use; for overclocking or high-TDP CPUs, verify thermal requirements and consider higher-capacity cooling solutions. Maintain the fan and heatsink free of dust to preserve airflow; periodic cleaning with compressed air is recommended.
