Processor cooler Darkflash E400 PLUS (white) — active air cooling for CPU, tower design, single-fan configuration

Darkflash E400 PLUS active CPU cooling (white)

Explore E400 Plus is a dual-fan version based on Explore E400, which offers increased cooling efficiency thanks to the cooperation of two fans - classic and reverse blade - in a push-pull arrangement. This design significantly improves airflow through the aluminum heatsink. On top of the unit is a highly visible LED display, showing the CPU temperature in real time.

Cooling based on dual airflow

The E400 PLUS uses four copper heat pipes that make direct contact with the CPU surface. This allows for fast and efficient heat transfer to the heatsink. The entire design supports processors with a TDP of up to 235 watts, making it suitable for more powerful units as well. In terms of compatibility, the cooling supports Intel (LGA 115X / 1366 / 1700 / 18XX) and AMD (AM4 / AM5) platforms.

Two fans with hydro bearings and PWM control

Two 120-millimeter PWM fans are included, with different parameters. The classic model reaches speeds of up to 1800 RPM, while the reverse blade fan - up to 2100 RPM. This arrangement provides increased air circulation and higher static pressure (up to 43.49 CFM). Both fans use hydrodynamic bearings, which translates into quieter operation (maximum 37.1 dBA) and long life - up to 40,000 hours.

Addressable ARGB backlighting and advanced connectivity

The DarkFlash E400 PLUS features ARGB backlighting that can be synchronized with motherboards that support the 5V 3-pin standard (e.g. ASUS, MSI, Gigabyte, ASRock). There are also 4-pin PWM connectors, USB 2.0 (for the LED display) and a dedicated 7-pin connector for easy connection of extensions. Thanks to smart software, it is possible to personalize the data displayed on the top panel - such as changing units and measurement source.

Included

• Heat sink with two fans installed
• Mounting system for Intel and AMD
• Thermal conductive paste
• Set of screws and mounting accessories
• 7-pin cable + extension
• 4-pin, ARGB 5V, USB 2.0 cables

How to use

Install the Darkflash E400 PLUS (white) following the cooler manufacturer’s mounting instructions for your CPU socket. Prepare the CPU and heatsink surfaces by cleaning and applying an appropriate amount of thermal paste if it is not pre-applied. Secure the cooler to the motherboard using the included mounting hardware and verify fan orientation for optimal airflow through the tower fins toward the chassis exhaust. Connect the fan to the CPU fan header on the motherboard to allow speed control and monitoring.

Recommendations

Ensure case airflow is configured to provide intake and exhaust airflow so the cooler can move hot air out of the chassis efficiently. Verify clearance for RAM modules and tall VRM heatsinks before final installation. Use motherboard fan control or BIOS settings to balance noise and cooling performance according to workload.
